Amazon is ending all inventory commingling as of March 31, 2026

Now that they’ve effectively destroyed their competition through predatory pricing and services, the ensh*ttification can accelerate.

The very fact that Amazon was letting people receive items from someone who they did not purchase the item from is incredible and frightening and maddening news to me.

Is this really what we want capitalism to look like?

Why now? Is it that commingling somehow boosted Amazon’s business but now they’re sort of a monopoly for online shopping so they can afford to not take these shortcuts that hurt consumers?

Great, now I’ll have to find another source for used items as sold as new. Thanks a lot!

I've rarely experienced issues, Amazon has always been happy to correct any issues, and I strongly suspect prices are going to jump significantly. I can't find any other notes of skepticism and I'm heavily doubting as I write these words, but it's surprising to me how much scorn and disdain people have for commingling.

It's wild to me that everyone's happy product makers have full price control now.

I don't like the market power of Amazon.

Does this mean they won't have the option to buy from "Other sellers on Amazon"?
