Today I bring in Jason Boyce (Prosper Show) to get a full breakdown and insights into the current antitrust lawsuit and the treatment of third party sellers.

The report finds that Amazon \u201chas monopoly power over many small- and medium-sized businesses.\u201d It says these businesses largely \u201cdo not have a viable alternative to Amazon for reaching online consumers.\u201d The report alleges that Amazon \u201chas engaged in extensive anticompetitive conduct in its treatment of third-party sellers.\u201d

One interesting tidbit from the report: \u201cPublicly, Amazon describes third-party sellers as \u2018partners.\u2019 But internal documents show that, behind closed doors, the company refers to them as \u2018internal competitors.\u2019 \u201d

Jason Boyce, the author of The Amazon Jungle and founder of Avenue7Media, began selling direct to consumer as an e-commerce retailer in 2002, and as an Amazon Merchant in 2003. Together with his A+ teams, he has bootstrapped several of his own brands to success with methods developed over nearly 20 years of real-world experience. These methods helped Jason\u2019s company become a Top 200 Amazon Seller and a top 1,000 E-commerce seller according to Internet Retailer Magazine. In 2014, while speaking at several Amazon Selling and E-commerce conferences, Jason realized that helping others succeed was more meaningful than growing his own brands. He began supporting a small group of sellers in 2014 which spawned Avenue7Media, a 21st-century product marketing agency.
