Amazon is facing growing scrutiny from independent retailers who claim the eCommerce giant has listed and sold their products without consent.

The concerns centre on Amazon’s “Buy for Me” feature, launched in April last year, which allows some customers to purchase items not sold directly by the company but available on other retailers’ websites.
