What happened
Italy's AGCM found that Amazon tied key seller benefits, such as the Prime badge and better visibility, to using its own logistics service (FBA), disadvantaging rival logistics providers.
How it affected users
Marketplace rankings favoured Amazon-fulfilled offers regardless of merit, and higher seller costs feed into prices.
