Over half of sellers on Amazon do the entire shipping process themselves. Imagine wrapping up all your products Amazon branding before sending it in the mail. Humiliating.
They already take their cut, can they at least they have the decency to let your brand/business be seen.
Reminds me a a chapter title from the book "THE FOUR: The Hidden DNA of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google"
While $120B is generated in revenue by independent merchants selling online, only 20K vendors on Amazon generate >$1M per year. Less than 2% of their merchants!!! There's not enough margin in for any business with less than $1M in revenue to build a real business (ie: hire people, spend money to market and scale). This is HUGE!
Great question. I am assuming 'schema' in the context of your question is that which supports the 'data' from a seller. Public Inventory will release with an extensive enough schema that supports what is already available categorically speaking. Our vision is such that a seller will map their data to what is implemented. We realize there will be a need to extend for what can't be accounted for at this time and we will do so dynamically. The specific mechanism for this is an active discussion. In regards to tokens, the generation event has yet to take place, and thus they are not yet grant-able or trade-able.

Glad you think so. It basically removes the two-sided nature of eCommerce network effects. Democratizes access to the data that create monopoly lock-ins.

"Alexa, how do we kill brands?"
Scary.
