“I typed in YamzWorld into the Amazon app and lo and behold there were all my products there with my pictures from my website as well,” Montes-Tarazas said.
While he receives payment for sales, Montes-Tarazas said the arrangement strips away his ability to build direct customer relationships.
“I do get the sale and I do get the money, but customers never get to interact with my website, they have no ability to sign up for my mailing list. They have no idea who I am as an artist or what I stand for,” Montes-Tarazas said.
Wow, thanks for ruining it for me. Doesn’t Musk own paypal?
I recently got excited when I noticed some nice, obscure finds on ebay. Some vintage stuff, some handcrafted stuff, some really niche hobby stuff. But I’m not ordering from a company owned by Musk.
I haven’t ordered from amazon in years. But when I found out they own Abebooks it was a sad day…
It looks like I was wrong about that. They used to own it, but now they’re both public companies. So no, Musk doesn’t own them, but he might have shares.
Thank fuck. Thanks for letting me know
