Isn't Amazon's marketplace similar in that regard? They compete with other sellers using Amazon's platform all the time.

Ethically, it seems a bit fuzzy for me given that one of Zillow's big features is there zEstimate. How can they demonstrably prove they aren't tweaking that somehow for their own gain?

I'd argue that Amazon's customers are the buyers of the products, not the sellers using Amazon's platform.

I'd argue that Amazon has many different groups of customers.
