If you order an item it typically comes from a 3rd party amazon seller. An item sold on Amazon will be charged a seller fee, if its inbounded to Amazon to be fulfilled instead of the seller, while the seller no longer has to bite individual shipping costs they have to pay a fee on each unit, a monthly storage fee for each SKU in "FBA" along with a hefty fee for use of service per month. All in all, Amazon makes it's money from Prime, Prime Video, fees, fees, more fees and every pissant 3rd party Amazon seller that uses their services.. Basically fuck Amazon
They also provide lending options to 3rd party sellers that they make FAT interest on.-
