Wednesday newspaper round-up: Amazon, EY, Entain, smart meters
(Sharecast News) - Amazon has been accused of being "no friend of the small business" after a report discovered evidence that the online marketplace has ramped up fees and advertising costs for sellers.

That growth far outstripped the rise in sales, which doubled over the same period. - Guardian Woking council plans to sever ties with the Northern Irish developer behind a skyscraper venture that helped tip the tiny Surrey local authority into effective bankruptcy.
