Amazon is again being investigated by the Competition Bureau in Canada. This time, the bureau is probing the online giant to determine if Amazon engages in any anti-competitive practices on its Canadian marketplace, Amazon.ca.
After an investigation in 2017, Amazon paid a $1 million penalty for misleading pricing practices, often comparing its prices to a regular price, or “list price,” creating the impression that prices for items offered on www.amazon.ca were lower than prevailing market prices.
