The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that the Competition Bureau says it has obtained a court order as part of its probe into Amazon's conduct related to its on-line Canadian marketplace. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe says the regulator is investigating Amazon's fair-pricing policy. The bureau says the policy allows Amazon to penalize sellers for certain conduct, including if they set a price for a product on Amazon's Canadian site that is significantly higher than recent prices offered on Amazon or elsewhere. On-line marketplaces allow shoppers to buy products from both third party sellers and, in certain cases, the platform itself. Third party sellers typically pay a commission or other fees to use the platform. The regulator says the investigation focuses on a potential abuse of dominance and is distinct from its investigation into Amazon's marketing practices. The court order from the Federal Court requires Amazon to produce records and information relevant to the investigation. Amazon said in a statement the company's store and policies are designed to help customers find products at low prices, with a variety of delivery options, and that it will continue to collaborate with the bureau.
