Ratek: Markets agitate the business courses of sellers and business manufacturers

According to Guskov, the seller often does not even know that Marketplais decided to make a discount on his products.

In an option, the discount is so large that it can even be lower than the profitability of the seller. The second option: Marketplais “subsidizes the discount” at the expense of its financial resources, pays the price difference at its own cost, thus promoting itself. In this case, the business of other companies, online and offline stores, which, even reducing costs, cannot compete in price. And the buyer can be losing, Guskov believes.

“At the time, consumers can really buy something cheaper. But in the medium term, this can lead to the fact that economic relations will be violated, companies will declare bankruptcy. And the consumer will not find the same goods, because it will simply become goods, and due to the deficit, prices can increase. And this is wrong, ”said Tarife’s representative.

Ratek suggests that we can talk about monopoly disorders. The association resorted to FAS with a complaint. Until now, there were no comments, but in the future there should be a meeting of representatives of the Ratek with antimonopoly.

“When the market organizes such sales, if the discount is economically unfounded and below the market, this can have signs of monopoly violation, an irrarzonable underestimation of the price that harms the market itself,” Guskov explained.

In Ratek they are not going to fight the low prices, the task of the association to resist violations and unfair competition.

“On the one hand, the low price is good, but when the market destroys it, it is a market subsidy due to financial resources, no other conscientious company can resist competition. The economy begins to suffer. One thing is when companies reduce their profits and work in costs, and another thing is when the “monster” and makes great discounts. All others are out of the market, ”explained the expert.

According to the expert, the practice of car skate originated several years ago and was a “unique”, but now the financial resource of the markets has grown, they began to resort to such an instrument of influence in the market too often.

“It becomes a family and frequent phenomenon. They have more financial resources. By having a high market force, they “eliminate” competitors who use mechanisms that are not market, “said Guskov. The expert added that different forms of commerce suffer from market actions in particular, it is difficult to compete with small Online stores.
