The report drew the ire of the White House, which called Amazon’s reported plans a “hostile and political act.”
“Why didn’t Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt asked.
I guess showing that the price had increased by 4% isn’t as big of a deal than 35%?
40 years? I guess thats a pretty big lie, also Bezos likes to eat Donalds ass.
camel^3 tracks the prices. we’ll know what went up, when, and how much.
I thought Amazon had influence over that site
No, they started using those limited time coupons instead of changing prices to be less trackable by that site
More like there isn’t an inflation surcharge, because that’s not how inflation works. Inflation is just a bunch of sellers raising their prices in general, not a defined policy.

Welp, one thing you can’t find for sale on Amazon is balls.
Amazon is playing a role here for the administration. They were never going to do this.
Yup. The cynic in me says this was all a big show to deter any other marketplace from getting the same idea. Trump will threaten you if you talk too loud about tarrifs.
Spineless comes to mind when I think of murica
My inner cynic adds: Amazon also realized if they didn’t separate the tariffs, they could raise the prices higher and make extra profit. As long as it’s “Prime” and “arrives tomorrow” people will still click.
Yeah, Amazon is interested in companies not pushing back against tarriffs, but maximising price gouging.
That’s because those balls are balls deep up Donnie’s ass.
I would have said “and it’s dignity”, but that is out of stock for a while now…
Only if you want them shrivelled.
Pussies
It was never going to happen because it’s all a show to warn other businesses
They could at least offer it as an opt in feature. I want to know where my money if going.
Your money is going to the Trump Trust Fund.
Keep supporting amazon. That will really help muricans out! Buy the ticket, take the ride!
STOP USING AMAZON.
LOL, just another reason to avoid buying from Amazon, really.
Blowback? It was a rebuke, like a religious leader would do.
Bezos is trumping…”we’re gonna display tariff prices per article”…*swiflty back pedaling on its own decision. 😂😂😂
Cowards.
And again the white house shoots themselves in the foot.
They could have spun this as a transparent way for Americans to see what products they are purchasing from overseas versus American. It would have still been filled with lies, but they could have made it sound like a good thing. Instead they just look like idiots and Amazon leadership just look like cowards. Amazon is large enough and ingrained in the economy and everyday lives of people to tell the Trump admin to go fuck themselves on this and have the back of Congress and the public, especially if they spun it right.
Just because Amazon doesn’t do it, doesn’t mean other small business shouldn’t.
If you have costs and customers are getting angry. Simply put the tariff charge on the receipt and point to it. Amazon can eat the tariff costs, just pay the C-Suite less for 4 years. They won’t, but they can. Small businesses can’t do that shit.
Amazon can eat the tariff costs
There is no way they can eat a 135% (or whatever the lunacy dial is at) price increase. Nobody can and those items just won’t get sold now.
Amazon gets their balls from Temu
Pussies.
