I don't think the term "agency" imports anything specific about percentages or terms. Unless you know the terms, there is no value in jumping to conclusions.

If the choice is only to call it either agency or wholesale, then they must call it agency. Agency itself does not imply fixed margin and no-discount. Entirely possible that the suggested retail price (@ 30%) is fixed by S&S, and Amazon may set their profit margin anywhere from 5% - 40% at any time allowing for some discounts.
