    Come la morsa monopolistica di #Amazon danneggia i venditori indipendenti europei

    Il colosso dell’ecommerce esercita un potere enorme anche sui piccoli rivenditori, giocando al tempo stesso da intermediario, fornitore di servizi e concorrente. Dalle sole commissioni fatte pagare nel 2022 agli attori indipendenti europei ha ricavato 23,5 miliardi di euro. Un report di Somo ne fotografa la posizione dominante oggi

    https://i0.wp.com/altreconomia.it/app/uploads/2023/06/Amazon-money-sucking-machine-1024x785-1.webp?resize=770%2C500&ssl=1#.jpg

    Amazon soffoca i venditori indipendenti europei costringendoli ad acquistare i suoi servizi a tariffe sempre più elevate e imponendo loro condizioni abusive. È la morsa del colosso ben descritta nel report “Amazon’s European chokehold” (►https://www.somo.nl/amazons-european-chokehold/#printing-Amazon%26%238217%3Bs%20European%20chokehold) pubblicato a giugno da Somo, il Centro di ricerca olandese sulle multinazionali. “Amazon ha conquistato l’Europa. Dopo un’espansione durata 20 anni, intensificata durante la pandemia da Covid-19, il gigante statunitense è ora di gran lunga l’azienda di ecommerce dominante in Germania, Regno Unito, Francia, Italia e Spagna -si legge nel rapporto–. In questi Paesi l’azienda è il principale approdo per gli acquirenti online. E questo l’ha resa quasi indispensabile per i venditori indipendenti che desiderano distribuire i propri prodotti in Rete”.

    I ricercatori di Somo hanno analizzato la complessa struttura di Amazon in Europa, tracciando l’andamento dei prezzi dei prodotti venduti sulla piattaforma ed esaminando la “giurisprudenza” delle autorità europee chiamati a regolare la concorrenza. Dal lavoro di analisi è emerso che Amazon nel 2022 ha incassato 23,5 miliardi di euro solo in commissioni di servizio, cifra triplicata rispetto al 2017 (7,6 miliardi di euro). Le commissioni includono l’inserimento negli elenchi della piattaforma, i costi di consegna e di assistenza.

    https://i0.wp.com/altreconomia.it/app/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-15-alle-10.34.55.png?resize=768%2C272&ssl=1#.jpg

    “Amazon sostiene che questo aumento sia dovuto al maggior volume di vendite. L’azienda, però, si rifiuta di fornire dati concreti ma ha affermato che nei due anni precedenti al 2021 il numero di prodotti venduti da negozi indipendenti sarebbe aumentato del 65% -continuano i ricercatori-. Tuttavia si tratta di una percentuale nettamente inferiore all’incremento dei ricavi che Amazon ha ottenuto dalle inserzioni e dalla logistica dei venditori. L’aumento degli acquisti non spiega quindi l’intero valore dei ricavi che è dovuto anche a un’impennata delle tariffe”.

    La situazione evolve ulteriormente se si considerano i ricavi pubblicitari. Nel 2021 le entrate dalle inserzioni da venditori indipendenti europei sono state pari a 2,75 miliardi di euro. Dal 2017 i guadagni da inserzioni della piattaforma in Europa sono aumentati di 17 volte. Per un totale, indipendenti e non, di 24,95 miliardi di euro nel corso del 2021. Di conseguenza il “Marketplace” della piattaforma è talmente grande che se dovesse essere scorporato dall’azienda madre diventerebbe immediatamente la terza azienda tecnologica per profitti in Europa.

    https://i0.wp.com/altreconomia.it/app/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-15-alle-10.35.12.png?resize=768%2C434&ssl=1#.jpg

    “Servizi come la consegna e la pubblicità sono teoricamente opzionali. Tuttavia Amazon ha usato il suo potere per renderli quasi indispensabili, sostenendo la loro importanza per il raggiungimento di visibilità e vendite -è il risultato della ricerca di Somo-. Negli ultimi anni la piattaforma ha mantenuto alte le tariffe (nel caso delle inserzioni) o le ha aumentate (ad esempio, per la consegna e il magazzino). L’analisi dei prezzi di consegna e stoccaggio dal 2017 al 2023 in Germania, Regno Unito, Francia, Italia e Spagna mostra che Amazon ha aumentato continuamente i costi di questi servizi”. Entrando nel dettaglio, tra il 2017 e il 2023 le tariffe sono aumentate da un minimo del 50% in Spagna e Germania fino al 98% in Italia e al 115% in Francia.

    https://i0.wp.com/altreconomia.it/app/uploads/2023/06/Amazon-aumento-prezzi-.png?resize=600%2C345&ssl=1#.jpg

    L’aumento delle tariffe per i servizi di consegna e stoccaggio e dei costi pubblicitari ha fatto sì che crescesse anche la quota di Amazon sul venduto dei “clienti”. Secondo una ricerca di Marketplace Pulse, azienda specializzata in analisi dell’ecommerce, il gigante statunitense tratterrebbe in media il 50% sul venduto. Una quota che è aumentata del 10% negli ultimi cinque anni. “Queste tariffe stanno schiacciando i venditori che, tolte le spese di inserzione, consegna e pubblicità, hanno margini molto ristretti per pagare la merce venduta, i dipendenti e tutti gli altri costi generali. Qualcosa inevitabilmente deve cedere: o i venditori cessano l’attività a causa della diminuzione dei margini oppure aumentano i prezzi, contribuendo potenzialmente a creare tendenze inflazionistiche in tutto il mercato”, è l’allarme di Somo.

    https://i0.wp.com/altreconomia.it/app/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-15-alle-10.35.05.png?resize=768%2C553&ssl=1#.jpg

    Le autorità regolatorie della concorrenza e del mercato di Europa e Regno Unito stanno indagando sull’azienda per verificare un possibile abuso di posizione dominante. Secondo Somo le indagini effettuate in Italia e nell’Unione europea avrebbero dimostrato come Amazon abbia usato i dati ottenuti dai venditori per competere con gli stessi, costringendoli di conseguenza ad acquistare i servizi offerti dalla piattaforma per rimanere competitivi. A prezzi, come detto, sempre più elevati.

    Secondo Somo l’origine del potere monopolistico di Amazon sarebbe di natura strutturale e difficile da comprendere senza analizzare il suo modello di business. Nata come piattaforma per la vendita di libri online, ha in seguito ampliato la varietà di prodotti che distribuiva e aperto anche a venditori terzi.

    https://i0.wp.com/altreconomia.it/app/uploads/2023/06/Amazon-crescita-vendite-.png?resize=600%2C360&ssl=1#.jpg

    Il passo successivo è stato quello di fornire ai rivenditori attivi sulla piattaforma dei servizi aggiuntivi, che comprendono appunto logistica e pubblicità. Allo stesso tempo ha iniziato a vendere i propri prodotti. In questo processo Amazon ha assunto tre ruoli diversi e in potenziale conflitto di interessi. Agisce infatti come intermediario sul mercato, stabilendone regole e determinandone i prezzi, come venditore, in concorrenza con coloro che utilizzano la piattaforma per distribuire i propri prodotti, e come fornitore di servizi per la vendita online.

    “Nonostante l’accresciuto controllo da parte delle autorità garanti della concorrenza in tutta l’Ue, non è stato ancora affrontato il conflitto di interessi che è alla base del potere monopolistico e della ricchezza di Amazon -conclude Somo-. Le autorità per la concorrenza e i responsabili politici europei devono regolamentare rigorosamente l’azienda come un servizio di pubblica utilità, oppure suddividere le sue diverse attività per evitare conflitti di interesse tra il suo ruolo di intermediario della piattaforma, venditore e fornitore di servizi”.
    Da segnalare infine che Somo ha aperto una specie di “canale” di comunicazione con i rivenditori su Amazon per raccogliere segnalazioni, istanze, richieste di aiuto. “Vorremmo conoscere la vostra esperienza di utilizzo della piattaforma e raccogliere ulteriori dati sul trattamento riservato da Amazon ai venditori. Contattateci in modo privato e sicuro tramite Publeaks o via mail criptata all’indirizzo margaridarsilva@protonmail.com“. Un modo per uscire dalla morsa.

      Amazon’s European chokehold

      Independent sellers and the economy under Amazon’s monopoly power

      This research reveals the immense market power of Amazon in Europe and the revenue it derives from it. In most of Europe’s biggest economies, Amazon is the main route for independent businesses to access online shoppers. Amazon’s dominance allows the company to get away with extractive and exploitative treatment of sellers on its platform.

      By analysing Amazon’s corporate structure in Europe, its financial reports, and the findings of competition investigations, SOMO found that:

      – In 2022, Amazon raked in €23.5 billion in listing and logistics fees from independent sellers in Europe. This was more than triple the €7.6 billion in 2017.
      – To this, Amazon added an estimated €2.75 billion in advertising revenue from independent sellers in 2021. Since 2017, Amazon’s overall European advertising revenue has grown 17-fold.
      - Altogether, in 2021 Amazon’s revenue from European sellers amounted to €24.95 billion. Amazon’s European marketplace is so large, if it were spun off into a separate company, the new firm would immediately become Europe’s third-biggest tech company by revenue.
      - In this period, Amazon has also continuously increased the price of logistics services. The increases varied, but they could be as high as more than double in some categories.

      Dominant platform

      “For the past 20 years, Amazon has been expanding its monopolistic hold over online shopping in Europe. It is now so dominant that independent retailers who wish to sell online cannot avoid it. Sellers are locked into the platform and are essentially a captive clientele, making them a profitable source of monopoly rent”, says Margarida Silva, researcher at SOMO.

      Amazon argues that the increase in fee revenue results from more sales. However, the numbers the company provides show a slower rise in sales than the increase in the fees that Amazon charged from sellers. Higher sales are only part of the story. In this period, prices for services such as logistics (Fulfillment by Amazon) have been constantly raised, and advertising was made essential to achieve visibility and sales.
      Under investigation

      Competition authorities across Europe, including in Italy, the EU and the UK, have started probing the company for abuses of its dominance. The EU and Italian investigations show the company used sellers’ data to compete against them and pushed them into buying logistics services. A similar investigation is ongoing in the UK.

      In Germany, Amazon has long been the focus of the Bundeskartellamt. Already in 2013, the agency forced the company to remove price parity clauses from its contracts with sellers. It is again investigating whether the company is reproducing the price parity policy via its automated tools.
      Monopoly power

      Despite increased scrutiny from competition authorities across the EU, the conflict of interests that lies at the root of Amazon’s monopoly power and wealth has not been addressed.

      European competition authorities and policy-makers must either strictly regulate Amazon as a public utility or break up its different businesses to prevent conflicts of interest between its role as a platform intermediary, seller, and service provider.

      “To achieve a fair digital transition, European regulators need to break up the excessive market power wielded by corporations like Amazon. Europe needs to sharpen its antitrust tools, revive structural solutions and put them to work”, says Margarida Silva.

    Aide pour mes frais d’avocate dans mon procès contre FACIL’iti
    ▻https://www.lalutineduweb.fr/aide-frais-avocate-proces-contre-faciliti

    Fin novembre 2020, Cédric O, Secrétaire d’État chargé de la Transition numérique et des Communications électroniques, a tweeté ceci : "Ce matin, aux côtés de @ShowroompriveFR pour le lancement de @FACIL_iti, qui permettra de rendre son site accessible aux personnes en situation de handicap et du partenariat avec @Mirakl, dont l’objectif est de lancer sa #marketplace. Bel exemple #TechForGood à suivre !"

    De nombreuses personnes, dont moi, lui ont répondu en disant leur désapprobation. Mon tweet, émis de mon compte personnel, a eu une portée tout à fait limitée avec 9 retweets et 32 « j’aime » (et le tweet de Cédric O comptait 19 retweets et 37 « j’aime »). Mon tweet se voulait factuel et informel, sans aucun énervement de ma part et sans but de nuisance.

    En dépit de la portée très limitée de mon tweet, FACIL’iti a cru devoir envoyer, fin décembre 2020, une mise en demeure pour dénigrement à l’entreprise dans laquelle je travaillais. Il était indiqué partout que j’étais en télétravail à Nantes et que mon entreprise était à Paris mais la mise en demeure a été envoyée à mon employeur. Pourtant, j’ai bel et bien tweeté sur mon temps personnel avec mon compte personnel. N’ayant pas reçu la lettre moi-même, je ne voyais pas pourquoi je devais y répondre. Cependant, ce courrier demandait à ce que le tweet soit supprimé et je l’ai fait deux jours après avoir été informée de ce courrier, soit le 28 décembre.

    Je croyais en avoir fini, pourtant début mars 2021, un nouveau courrier a été envoyé à mon employeur, une fois de plus sans aucune raison, mon tweet ayant été, par ailleurs, supprimé.

    Et, finalement, le 16 mai 2021, j’ai reçu, chez moi, une assignation à comparaître devant le tribunal judiciaire de Paris.

    sourceWe buy groceries on a weekly basis from stores near our home. We often prefer buying from popular superstores than small shops. This happens because we trust the bigger established brands more than the new entrants in the market.The bias is logically flawed because none of the stores manufactures what it sells. They just purchase it from the distributors, add the price tag and sell it. We cannot be certain that the stock we buy is unadulterated. It is unfortunate that sometimes there is no check for the food being expired.For example, few days ago I had purchased “Frozen Chicken Wings” from a famous store near my apartment. Upon taking a bite (after microwaving it), the meat was sticky. I had to throw the whole dish. I should consider myself really lucky that the food did not damage (...)

    Building a marketplace setup is a tough nut to crack — and this is no breaking news.Although the model works extremely well at scale — for example, eBay, Airbnb, and Uber, among others — but getting to scale is another challenge altogether.It’s not something that’s achieved overnight, or without thorough planning. For instance, it took Wattpad, a community of writers and readers, around three years to get 300,000 uploads. Then, it took them only three more years to reach the 10 million mark. Similarly, the crowdfunding platform, Indiegogo, was founded in 2007, but it took them four years for their first big break.However, building an online marketplace does seem like a lucrative business option.
