Yes, I read that. It doesn't address my point, which is that merchants would just leave the program if they faced declining sales.

Are you asking if a seller would leave, or could leave? To the former the answer is obviously “yes they would”, to the latter idk.

But regardless, even if they are allowed to leave the program, that doesn’t make it any less illegal.

Where would they go? Amazon is where the customers are. This is the problem.

They’d go back to selling outside of this program. They don’t need to leave Amazon to do that.
