It will also look at how Amazon decides which company's product has the privilege of featuring in the instant "Buy Box" on the website's home page.,"Millions of people across the UK rely on Amazon's services for fast delivery of all types of products at the click of a button," said CMA general counsel Sarah Cardell. "This is an important area so it's right that we carefully investigate whether Amazon is using third-party data to give an unfair boost to its own retail business and whether it favours sellers who use its logistics and delivery services - both of which could weaken competition.",Bezos’ $500M Megayacht Stranded After Dutch Firm Abandons Bid to Dismantle Rotterdam Bridge3 July, 04:03 GMT,"Thousands of UK businesses use Amazon to sell their products and it is important they are able to operate in a competitive market," Cardell added.
