> . For example, I read a persons blog post who said amazon had a rule that you can't sell your product on amazon and sell it for less on your own site.
I don't know how much of a choice Amazon really has here. Amazon is the ubiquitous online marketplace for everything. If I find your product on amazon, and then later find it for cheaper on your website, I'm not going to visit amazon anymore to purchase said product. You just used amazon as an advertising platform against itself.
You make a good point. However I still think it's underhanded an unnecessary. People are going to buy from amazon for a host of other reasons such as convenience and maybe free shipping if they are prime members. I think amazon needs to compete based on value add, not with an underhanded contract.
I will almost never sign a so-called "standard" software development contract because standard practice is to treat the little guy poorly. I think the same goes with amazon. Just because it is standard doesn't mean it's right.
