Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said it
opened an investigation on Tuesday on concerns Amazon's practices affecting
sellers on its domestic marketplace may be anti-competitive and could result in
a worse deal for customers.
The investigation follows a current European Commission
probe looking at similar concerns but which does not cover issues affecting the
UK following Brexit.
The British regulator said its investigation would focus on
three main areas, including how the Seattle-based company collects and uses
third-party seller data and how it sets the eligibility criteria for selling
under the Prime label.
