Amazon set prices of products during the COVID-19 pandemic to levels that would be considered violations of price gouging laws in many states. Amazon has misled the public, law enforcement, and policymakers about price increases during the pandemic.

Amazon publicly blamed so-called third-party sellers for price increases while continuing to allow third-party sellers to increase their prices.
