> "We can't link to our website" is INSANE. It means any other company can undercut you or impersonate you on Amazon because your customers have no relationship with you as a company!

It's even better when Amazon undercuts you with an Amazon Basics product. As a bonus they'll give the Amazon Basics product a preferential position in search too.

So what? All large retailers do this. They're called house brands. And they're actually beneficial to customers, since there's a well understood quality floor. If your product can't compete with a house brand, then your product isn't bringing any value to the customer or the marketplace.

I say this as an Amazon seller that competes with Amazon Basics.
