Independent UK Retailers Sue Amazon for £1 Billion Over Data Misuse
admin 2024/06/08 02:16A £1 billion ($1.27 billion) class action lawsuit accuses Amazon of forcing independent UK shops out of its online marketplace.
The British Independent Retailers Association (Bira) complaint, representing 35,000 vendors, alleges that Amazon has utilized store data to introduce competitive items since October 2015, according to a report from The Guardian.
Amazon faces accusations of manipulating its "buy box," where most transactions take place, to direct customers away from independent sellers and towards its products.
Bira said that Amazon utilizes proprietary data to launch cheaper rival items and charges its members a non-negotiable 30% fee on each product sold, forcing UK independent businesses out of the market.
