If anyone's curious about this from 3 camels standpoint they made a blog post about this. I was curious what the non-Amazon opinion would be so I went looking: https://camelcamelcamel.com/blog/amazon-eu-covid-19


They are being generous to amazon. You can clearly see that amazon raised prices 30%+ on things like dishwasher tablets and other stuff. It’s not showing up on camel camel because amazon is showing them a different price then what you get as a logged in user. As soon as you login to order amazon jacks up the price on you. That’s their “scam”


This is fair enough (and I had read the blog entry before posting, but had forgotten it - thanks!), but why only EU? I assume they are separate operating entities to the US/other domains, but it's not obvious why the logic should apply in one region but not another, though I suppose the difficulties are varying from country to country - but along similar trajectories I would have thought.
