Getty Images Amazon s third-party sellers have long had a love-hate relationship with the ecommerce giant. Some have hit their breaking point. On Tuesday, a coalition of more than 20 independent business groups representing main street businesses including booksellers, office supplies sellers, and hardware stores kicked off a joint effort aimed at breaking up Amazon. The group known as Small Business Rising is pushing lawmakers to enact stricter antitrust laws and enforcement measures, as first reported reported by The Wall Street Journal. Specifically, the merchant coalition wants the ecommerce giant to separate its retail business from its marketplace of third-party sellers, says Stacy Mitchell, the co-director of the Institute for Local Reliance, a nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C., that advocates for sustainable community development and key organizer behind Small Business Rising. She adds that the coalition hopes to achieve this by creating opportunities for independent businesses to speak with lawmakers and the media, share their experiences, and talk about the need for policies to level the playing field.
