Is this like when food delivery places started offering fake web sites for local restaurants without their permission?
This seems like the same play.

Yep. Up next: Amazon will mark the items up 15%.
No - the obvious play here is for Amazon to undercut the original vendors by 15%, sell at a loss until all of the sales go through Amazon, and then pressure the vendors into cutting their pricing and becoming suppliers subservient to and dependent on Amazon, allowing Amazon to become a middle-man dipping into the revenue stream.
But then brands could buy their own products back for cheaper and just get a real life infinite money glitch?

It is a data play. Which shops/product lines/customer segments can we take over profitably.
This should lead to anti trust.
How about a DMCA notice for Amazon accessing and using the websites of the actual sellers against their terms? If we're not going to get rid of that law it should at least be applied fairly.
