Fabric.com did sell some things through Amazon. They are shutting down completely. The notice to vendors, referenced in the original post, states:
"Fabric.com will close down on October 20. Employees have been offered a severance package or the opportunity to seek employment in another Amazon division. "
That article also states:
"About six months ago, Amazon reached out to Fabric.com vendors to say that all fabric would soon need to be sold directly on Amazon.com. Vendors were told to upload all of their products to Amazon in one, three, or five-yard increments"
So Fabric.com's suppliers would need to sell as third parties on Amazon.com, and list in fixed yardage cuts.
