The very next day, Amazon announce they are to ban any Unauthorized Seller selling Apple stuff.....

Just a coincidence....nothing to see here.....

I do not sell Apple items BTW. The arrogance of these Market Places annoys the hell out of me. Thoughts with anyone affected.

Nothing unusual. Apple always come with caveats. Makes them feel special.

Surprised they chose to partner up with Amazon, given earlier on Amazon stopped selling their Apple TV so their Amazon equivalent would thrive.

If all what is taking place on Amazon, Facebook or Google is not enough for anti-trust lawsuits... I don't know wtf is!!

These are becoming the true definition of the word "monopoly". They want to grow bigger and bigger and forbid anyone along the way from making money.

Are they referring to accounts grandfathered in that can sell apple products?

You need apple approval today in order to sell apple products
