Yeah, I saw this first hand when I was working for the dropship company.  AMZ will work with middleman companies, have them do the financial risk.  Then if the product has potential it will start competing against the middleman company or even force the supplier only to sell to AMZ directly.

I saw this in Le Monde. Was going to post that. It reminded me of Littleman's comments about this
