Etsy needs to cuddle up to eBay, according to a Wall Street analyst. Ross Gerber, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki, told NBC News that Amazon conducts anticompetitive practices, objecting to the way it is "willing to lose money to put you out of business."





"They're going to put Etsy out of business if Etsy doesn't cuddle up with somebody big and strong," he said. Amazon can do ridiculous deals to get sellers away from Etsy, he said.





As we reported 6 days ago, Amazon is launching a marketplace for handmade goods





Etsy is a perfect addition to eBay, Gerber said. "Amazon is just a jungle of everything, so it doesn't really help Etsy to merge with Amazon."





After watching the video interview , do you agree with Gerber? Are Amazon's practices anticompetitive? And would Amazon even have to lose money in order to attract Etsy sellers? (Why is it an either-or choice for sellers?)
