Walmart drove out many businesses and didn't jack up its prices. Big box stores (Borders, B&N, Toys "R" Us, Best Buy, etc.) drove out the competition and didn't jack up the prices. Amazon is no different.
What about Ebay? They drove out all the competition and put their prices up. This month alone their selling fees went up more than 10%.
