Here’s how Amazon replies to the Agcm after the fine
What Amazon Italia highlights in replying to the fine suffered by the Antitrust Authority
'We deeply disagree with the decision of the Italian Antitrust Authority and we will appeal. The sanction and the obligations imposed are unjustified and disproportionate ". This was stated in a note from Amazon in replying to the fine suffered by the Antitrust .
“More than half of all annual Amazon sales in Italy are generated by and medium-sized businesses, and their success is at the heart of our business model. Small and medium-sized businesses have multiple channels to sell their products both online and offline ”.
Amazon – underlines the global giant – “is just one of these options. We constantly invest to support the growth of the 18,000 Italian small and medium-sized businesses that sell on Amazon and we provide multiple tools to our sales partners, including those who manage shipments themselves ".
On the FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon) program, sources from the e-commerce giant point out that FBA is a completely optional program: sales partners may or may not use it, separately, for individual products. Fulfillment by Amazon includes many services that make life easier for sales partners, such as inventory management, returns, and customer service support.
Most of our sales partners do not use the FBA program. When they choose it, they do it because it is efficient, convenient and because it offers competitive rates, Amazon's environments remark.
