Amazon bans Muse, flags agent purchases as fraud — agentic commerce needs first-party integrations
kleffew94 · x · 2026-09-21
Developer David Pawlan reports his Instinct agent's Amazon purchase was flagged as fraud despite stored credentials and cards in the vault, and that Amazon has now banned Muse — a clear crackdown on third-party browser agents. His take: browser use is a band-aid; agentic commerce needs first-party vendor integrations built around identity and security. Painful to build vendor by vendor, but a massive opportunity.
