What is Amazon’s Buy Box?
Amazon’s Buy Box is the white box on the right side of Amazon’s product detail page. Here, customers are presented with the Add to Basket and Buy Now buttons.
What is the result of Amazon’s alleged wrongdoing?
An expert economist estimates that more than 80% of UK Amazon shoppers bought the product in the Buy Box, despite similar products possibly available at a lower price on Amazon. Preliminarily, the expert estimates UK consumers were overcharged by over £1 billion.
What is the Claim Against Amazon?
It is alleged Amazon manipulated how it presents available products through its Buy Box feature, suppressing competition in its marketplace. As a result, Amazon customers have been exploited and over-charged for the products they bought.
The claim asserts that Amazon has a special responsibility to UK consumers as the largest e-commerce marketplace. Competition law seeks to stop practices that undermine or restrict competition to the detriment of consumers. Amazon appears to have abused its dominant position in contravention of competition law.
