On Monday, Ebay accused Amazon of illegally poaching sellers from its platform. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, about 50 Amazon employees sent "sent more than 1,000 messages to sellers" on Ebay. One of the sellers reached out to Ebay after allegedly being contacted by Amazon "under false pretenses".
"We have uncovered an unlawful and troubling scheme on the part of Amazon to solicit eBay sellers to move to Amazon's platform," eBay said, adding that it had sent a cease-and-desist letter to Amazon on Monday. "We have demanded that Amazon end its unlawful activity and we will take the appropriate steps, as needed, to protect eBay," the company said in a statement.
