That depends on how he sells on Amazon.

If he's selling his own products on Amazon, then he's probably okay.

In my case, I sold through "Merch by Amazon" which is a Print On Demand site. In other words, I provided them with designs that could be printed on shirts, hoodies, throw pillows, and cell phone covers, and if someone ordered anything, then they did the printing, shipping, and handled all monetary transactions, and then I got a percent of all sales each month. I definitely wouldn't recommend selling on this particular platform, even though I was making good money, and rapidly heading towards making even more money. As far as I can tell, they're criminals on that platform...literally.

My dad's only selling his own products, so as you said he's probably going to be fine. Thanks for the information (y)

The more that I think about it, the more that I'm contemplating never doing any sort of buying on Amazon again. Even when I worked directly for them, they were corrupt to the bone. I worked for them for 9 months, and then I called out of work ONE DAY, and they fired me. When I applied for unemployment, they appealed, and I had to attend a hearing before some sort of claims judge. The representative from Amazon who showed up lied through his teeth repeatedly at the hearing. He went so far as to bring a print out of all the PAID TIME OFF THAT I HAD TAKEN (personal days, etc.) while pretending that they were days when I just didn't show up for work. I won my case, and they told me that I could never work for them again.
Since then, they've sent me dozens of emails begging me to work for them again.

I'm telling you, they're nuts.

I cannot help but wonder if you have ever told them anything akin to: Their corrupt business
practices, dishonest/manipulative tactics, and lack of ethics are so at odds with your principles
that it would be impossible for you to seriously entertain the idea of ever working for them again?

If you had been at the hearing that day, then you probably would have fainted at what I told the Amazon representative right to his face. I honestly thought that the judge in that hearing was going to throw me out of the place, but, thankfully, she didn't because she saw for herself not only how corrupt the Amazon representative was, but also how corrupt other Amazon managers were for their own false documentation that they equipped this representative with. BELIEVE ME, I repeatedly told him that he was bold-faced liar who should be ashamed of himself and that the other managers who lied in his report were equally as corrupt. It was after this that Amazon told me that I could never work for them again, so they apparently got my message.

Since then, they've repeatedly begged me (a slight exaggeration) to come and work for them again, so I don't know what's going through their minds. My best guess is that they have no morals whatsoever, and that they're simply motivated by money.

It's a huge corporation that usually doesn't know what it is doing.
Petty, fiefdom tyrants trying to look good for an unconcerned higher ups is usually the case.

They are too big to be that specifically evil.
BUT
We do have a bank here that writes contracts that aren't worth the paper they are written on. Their legal team is always busy. You have to bring a lawsuit in order to get them to perform a contract. And then sue them more for egregiously interfering with it. They have a well worn path to the courtrooms. Everyone knows them well... except for the new people in town.
Everyone else knows their reputation. And as a result their buildings remain largely empty. Their in house real estate firm is another joke. They don't know what they are doing either most of the time.
It's not personal...they are incompetent with everything and everyone.

There's a guy in my Sunday School class that did legal work for them...he quit and went elsewhere. Lawyers try to keep things hush hush...but word still leaks out.
80%+ of all business failures are due to bad management but blamed on the workforce 99% of the time.
And often...account receivable/payable issues are usually caused by a "kid in a cubicle" not knowing or caring about doing their job with any precision.
High turnover rates are a big big clue that something is wrong. Overzealous staff recruiting is a sign of that.
Usually meaning that it's systemic.

If some company is actively recruiting all the time there is something wrong with the workplace. Could be anything from low wages to bad management or both.
 
I've worked for a lot of various people as I get fired a LOT. LOL...
Temp construction worker. Seen them all.

Oh I'm sure that the judge knows exactly how that lawyer behaves and the quality of his evidence. "Home cooking" is the term they use.... meaning everyone is going through the motions already knowing the outcome before the judge walked in the room.

When I still worked for Amazon, I saw an online report which stated that the average term of employment for an Amazon employee was only 14 months. It made perfect sense to me at the time because I figured that most people probably gave it a year to see if things would improve, and then shortly thereafter went elsewhere when they were certain that things would NEVER improve.
