The company says that third-party sellers will be able to showcase their special deals on its holiday deal pages. October 21, 2013 6:52 AM PDT Amazon is offering third-party sellers a new way to sell their products this holiday season as it attempts to navigate harsh waters in Germany. Third-party sellers on Amazon will have the ability to promote their holiday deals on the e-retailers special holiday deal pages, including the Today's Deals, the company announced on Monday. Amazon gave third-party sellers similar opportunities in high-traffic areas earlier this year. According to Amazon, it'll extend its offer across its many of its most popular pages, including its Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal pages. Amazon's offer to third-parties comes against the backdrop of an investigation on the part of the Germany competition watchdog the Federal Cartel Office. Back in Febuary, the organization announced that it was investigating Amazon to determine if the e-commerce company is unfairly treating third-party merchants. In an interview with German publication Suddeutsche Zeitung on Monday, the Federal Cartel's Andreas Mundt said that investigation is ongoing. For its part, Amazon has consistently said that it's acting fairly and helps third-party sellers expand their businesses through its platform.
