Aly wroteI had a theory, and kept it to myself because i was abusing it for some time, about why their prices are cheap and dont seem logical most of the times, and my theory was the were using American Express cards to pay for their purchases, the twist here Amex has high international limits starting at 5000$ and it is still working fine unlike the cards issued by lebanese banks and you can settle your payment using USD local cheques, in other words you buy items internationally for 10,000$ you settle your bill using a 10k usd cheque which costs roughly 3600$ in the market ...
As of this week American Express stopped accepting cheques, they only accept fresh usd, and as it seems Libazon is screwed.
Just my 2 cents.
I don't think it's related.
I don't deny that there could be a chance they were using this method, but there's a bigger chance that they were not since they are still accepting orders.
Plus, if you take their catalogue on their website as an example, their catalogue was down since 2 weeks, before your said method stopped working, and I am sure their catalogue will come back, with a significant price increase just like before but not an exponential increase like most people are expecting.
