Amazon.de customer service has consistently been much better than anything else in Germany, so it's probably not the law.

It's "loss leader", selling under the price to make your competitors go bankrupt, then use monopoly power.

It's illegal under German law, EU law, and I'm sure it's also explicitly called out as illegal in at least 5 trade treaties Germany signed.

Needless to say, like everything in the EU, it's only enforced against local companies, in this case German ones.

Or, it's easier for Amazon to have a consistent customer experience everywhere in the world. But that would make too much sense?
