“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.
