FTC Lawsuit Accuses Amazon of Ad Price Overcharges
The FTC and 22 states allege Amazon secretly inflated ad auction prices since 2019, extracting over $20 billion (USD) from advertisers. Amazon disputes the claim.
Amazon's advertising system was built on a rule that bidders never pay more than needed to win. The FTC says that rule was quietly set aside. Auction based pricing runs across search, social media and retail platforms far beyond Amazon. If one company can override its own auction results after the fact, what does that mean for trust in every platform that claims to offer fair, market set prices?
