Amazon Actually Doing Something Good?

I don't use Amazon. I haven't for about 10 years now. I don't like the way they do business, and I have so many other options. So, I was both shocked and glad to hear this new facet to their story:
In May Amazon will begin doing background history on some of the items they sell. Amazon will force companies to list their actual list price on items. They will no longer be able to inflate prices and charge customers this added amount as Amazon is seeing them do. And for items that are always on sale Amazon will be checking historical data and start displaying a typical list price.
I am glad to see that there is some integrity in this company, and I may even start using them. We'll see.
What do you think of this change?

I sounds good. We rarely buy from Amazon, though.

Nice to see that Amazon is taking steps to make sure that the items they sell to have companies give out the actual price on their products.

That's a great change. I use them; but mostly I use Walmart. Their prices are similar.

I never use them. If Walmart doesn't have it I don't get it.
