Amazon steals customers from its "partners" and now they will make it even easier to continue.

I read Amazon would let people sell great product ideas on their site and when the volumes got large, Amazon would copy the products, go to China to make it much cheaper and use what they learned from being a "partner" to under cut their partners on price and have the great Amazon customer service, warranty, etc. If it was a renewable item, they could go right back to the people who bought from their partner and say "Hey, we can give you refills cheaper."
Amazon is quietly shuttering its "product ads" business, a pay-per-click program that allowed sellers to divert traffic from the retailer's platform to their own websites. Companies saw the option as a key feature because it provided a middle ground of being able to partner with Amazon ( AMZN) but didn't allow the firm to see all their transaction data. Amazon will permanently discontinue the program in October.
