The DC Court of Appeals ruled that the District's allegations plausibly suggest that Amazon already has monopoly power over online marketplaces or is close to achieving it.
The lawsuit alleges Amazon engages in anticompetitive behavior by restricting third-party sellers from offering products on other online stores for less than they charge on Amazon.
Amazon's Fair Pricing Policy amounts to an effectively identical substitute for a previously retracted policy that required sellers to offer their lowest prices on the platform.
Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle stated, 'we don't highlight or promote offers that are not competitively priced,' framing their practices as a commitment to low prices.
