I never indicated that they should provide it for free, I merely noted:

Tidy sum for just running some servers and charging a credit card.
I'll grant adding a CSR for weeding out problem sellers and handling transactions gone bad, but those should be a very small percentage.

If merchantplace sales aren't almost pure profit for Amazon (not saying significant, meaningful, or big bucks --- just that each sale in-and-of-itself should be bringing them more than a tithe and certainly tens or even hundreds of times the per transaction cost), something is really strange. I'd be interested in an expansion of the numbers I've posted, or any sort of correction or addition.

I do not appreciate any effort to put words into my mouth or indicate that I made any statements / claims which I did not.
