I don’t understand limiting SKUs unless there is some sort of extra bandwidth capacity associated. Is Amazon trying to limit the number of offers a seller can make? Maximizing thus band-width?

eBay and Amazon have been on the warpath for a while now. Siding out small timers and such. The people who built them are now anathema to them.

They may go to Hell.

Mostly, they're trying to reduce the astonishing level of clutter on their product pages that's being created by large numbers of marketplace vendors listing identical products, then describing them by every imaginable key word. I was looking for a desktop HD radio tonight, and got something like 400 hits, only three of which were actually HD radios.

I guess they're trying to spread the impact, but they'd probably be better off by just cutting loose a bunch of their redundant vendors, then increasing their selectivity on the ones they choose to affiliate with.
