Event summary

A federal judge has certified a class action lawsuit against Amazon, alleging that its pricing policies force third-party sellers to keep prices high, leading consumers to overpay. The class includes millions of shoppers who bought multiple new physical goods from third-party sellers on Amazon since May 26, 2017. The lawsuit claims Amazon's policies, despite changes, still prevent sellers from offering lower prices elsewhere and that this violates antitrust laws.
