I'm generally against the 20th century solution of breaking companies up when it comes to tech companies... but Amazon's problems are not Facebooks or Google's. It's way simpler, and it fits the mold perfectly. First of all, Amazon should absolutely not be allowed to operate both a retailer and a marketplace. Second of all, this marketplace is way too large. It is clearly not in the consumers favor for such a large marketplace to exist.

Fortunately Amazons service oriented architecture should make this break up a breeze.
