WHY IS AMAZON AN AMERICAN COMPANY , HITING SELLERS THAT ARE U.S. BASED AND ARE ALL SMALL BUSIESSES OWNED BY AMERICANS WITH ALL THESE NEW FEES AND POLICIES WHILE BOOSTING CHINA SMALL BUSINESSES AND MIDDLE CLASS?

IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE, THEY CONTINUELY ARE TOUTING ABOUT HOW THEY HAVE MILLIONS OF 3RD PARTY SELLERS AND HALF THE SALES ARE 3RD PARTY BUT 75 PERCENT OF 3RD PARTY SELLERS ARE CHINESE SMALL BUSINESSES

SO REALLY 33 PERCENT OF ALL SALES ON AMAZON ARE SOLD BY 3RD PARTY SMALL BUSINESS OWNED AND OPERATED BY CHINESE CITIZENS IN CHINA

THATS INCREDIBLE -33 PERCENT OF AMAZON SALES ARE REALLY CHINESE SMALL BUSINESSES,

AMAZON CONTROLS MORE THEN HALF OF US ECOMMERCE, SO REALLY CHINA SELLS OVER 20% OF ALL AMERICAN E COMMERCE SALES.

THAT MEANS THAT THE MARKET SHARE IS ACTUALLY

AMAZON

CHINESE SMALL BUSINESSES ON AMAZON

WALMART

ETC

THE PART THAT REALLY DRIVES ME NUTS IS HEARING THEM SAY OVER AND OVER TO AMERICANS HOW HALF OF ALL AMAZON SALES ARE BY SMALL BUSINESS AND WE ALL THINK THAT MEANS AMERICAN SMALL BUSINESSES BUT IN REALITY THEY ARE ALL CHINESE SMALL BUSINESSES

HOW IS NO ONE ON THE NEWS TALKING ABOUT THIS?

Hi I applied for the small business badge and got accepted. Received this email on 10/16/24

Hello from Amazon Selling Partner Support,

We understand you are concerned regarding the Small Business Badge. Thank you for your interest in being identified as a Small Business Brand on Amazon.com.

We have reviewed your request and determined that your business is eligible to receive the Small Business badge on Amazon.com

Please allow up to seven business days for the Small Business badge to appear on your branded products.

I have put in a case and it says reviewing but has been over a week. Any help greatly appreciated!

IF you're a small business/ new seller please read all the horror stories written by many before you. Heed the warnings and Run! Amazon will ruin you. There are no protections for you against fraud here. None. How can you owe $12,000 in ad clicks and impressions with no sale? Fraud! and they let their people get away with it too. Ask questions and you get your account closed...while still owing $12,000 worth of unaccounted clicks with no sales!!! There is no hope for you here. I should have listened to those before, and I didn't. SMH. AMAZON IS THE ENDOF SMALL BUSINESS
