It is a matter of math - if some sellers have raised prices and others have remained flat (no mention of anyone lowering) - and the AVERAGE selling price has not changed, it means that buyers are simply not buying from the sellers that raised prices.

"So sales are down as well. That makes sense.

If you are too stupid or too lazy to read the whole article, just read the summary and see this part "Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told shareholders during a virtual meeting Wednesday (May 21) that the tariffs the President Donald Trump administration imposed on imported goods have not affected sales."

In what world does 'have not affected sales' translate to 'sales are down'? You are quickly trying to take Lamp's crown as the most ------- stupid poster on this website.

At least I have my answer - I said if you were too stupid or too lazy....case closed, it is too stupid in your case.

"You said "buyers are simply not buying from the sellers that raised prices". That is known as "affecting sales"."

Yes - you are stupid. Quit trying to prove it. What Amazon said is that ITS sales are not affected - meaning total sales volume/revenue has not changed. Also, ITS AVERAGE PRICE FOR SKUS has not changed. That does not mean that it did not change FOR THE INDIVIDUAL SELLERS. What has happened based on the information - some sellers chose to raise prices and some did not or already had American made products. As a result, buyers simply continued to buy from the sellers that DID NOT RAISE PRICES - thereby either eating the tariffs as a middle man OR forcing the suppliers to cut their prices to maintain their margins (the manufacturer eating the tariffs) and STOPPED buying from those that did raise prices. That is the only logical conclusion that can be taken away from the facts presented.

Your statement just shows a complete lack of logic and draws a conclusion directly contradicted by the article.

"If Amazon says that sale have not been affected, then you are wrong. The only other option is Amazon is lying.

That is what they said because that is THE TRUTH. As you are unable to think beyond Trump bad, you are going to go with a conclusion directly contradicted by the article because Trump broke your brain and you are too stupid to apply basic logic.
