@EugeneKhayman Amazon need to stop saying they care about sellers and then their actions does the opposite.. that’s hypocritical

🧵 @amazon new “toy compliance” rules are quietly crushing small businesses. 1/ Amazon just flagged ~3,200 of our ASINs under new toy compliance policy. They are not toys. They’ve never been classified as toys. We’ve never had to provide toy compliance docs for them before.

@Molson_Hart Big congrats!!

Thanks everyone for the kind wishes Baby and momma are healthy 🙏

Had a great time at Million Dollar Sellers Summit in Milan meeting so many old and new friends, hanging out with the most brilliant ecommerce minds on the planet with business ranging from 7-9 figures.

All our brands in the Brand Registry were suddenly removed. Shortly after, our entire catalog is under malicious attack. (unauthorized brand change, suppressed ASINs, tons of variation separations). We think someone malicious stole control of our brands in the brand registry and is trying to destroy our catalog. case ID: 18395633651 @dharmeshmehta @amznsellerhelp @AmazonHelp

Our best selling Amazon product was maliciously attacked by a competitor who inserted "adult keywords" into the back-end of our listing.  Our product is a kid-safe product.  Amazon flagged the listing as an adult product, so our product is not searchable and sales are down 80%, business critical.  This abuse has to stop. Seller support says 10 days to investigate! @dharmeshmehta @amznsellerhelp @AmazonHelp

@MillPrue @amazon I personally know 4 sellers that’s has been hacked this couple weeks.. China seller including.. and amazon need to let us know the protocol when dealing with such stressful situation..

This is the second person I personally know (both BIG businesses) who had their @amazon accounts hacked, despite using 2 step authentication. It ends up being a massive distraction for the business and causes a ton of stress. Why would this be happening and how do you avoid it?

nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna2… We are gonna have a horrible Q4 and Christmas if this drags any longer.. Shelves are going to be empty across all major retailers More cash chasing after less goods = perfect storm for hyperinflation and maybe even civil riots Insane times for USA

Many people ask me about the impact of tariff on our business and if we are impacted I shared some of my views and concerns with @VulcanPost together with fellow entrepreneur & good friend from Hydragun vulcanpost.com/885389/us-chin… hope cooler heads prevail between the 2 grandpas!

@BlackLabelAdvsr April fools day is over

BREAKING: President Trump is threatening to raise FBA fees by 75% on Chinese Amazon sellers if the Chinese government doesn’t remove its 34% reciprocal tariff. More to come.

Last night I mowed my lawn and thought about tariffs. Over the last week I've talked to countless CEO's and industry leaders. I've had conversations with people in DC and in China. Just like everyone else, I don't know what the future holds. But we are clearly in a new era. The new tariffs create a lot of costs that will need to come from somewhere. For my company, we expect to pay almost $40,000,000 in new tariffs this year. Interestingly, we have invested millions in domestic manufactuing over the last few years. For many nuanced reasons we still don't have the ability to produce a large percentage of our products in the US. I know this to be true for many companies. It is not a lack of willingness to make things in the US. It is a lack of financial viability. There are only three options for companies to manage these new tariff costs: -Raise Prices -Cut Expenses -Accept Lower Profits In every business there are essential costs and costs that make life easier. There are business activities that the company needs to survive and initiatives that contribute at a nominal level. There are softwares that you cannot live without, but there are many more that make the work easier and less monotonous. I don't know the road ahead, but I know it is going to be bumpy. CEO's are going into wartime mode. They are going to be looking to slash operating expenses. They aren't going to pay others to do something they can do themselves. They are going to be spending money on essentials. It is going to be a tough few weeks for many service providers. There will be a lot of churn and some massive price reductions. And profits are going to be hard to come by over the next year. Recent studies have shown that 50% of the discretionary spending in this country comes from the top 10%. That top 10% owns equity in private and public companies. Whatever your opinions about income distribution in America, that group currently drives the discrectionary economy. That top 10% is going to spend significantly less in the months ahead. We are likley headed for a recession. To survive and thrive in the months ahead you are going to need to drive results. CEO's are going to have to make hard decisions to protect their company from going under. My advice to every person reading this who is not a CEO: Be Proactive! Seek feedback about how you can be producing the value your employeer needs. Don't assume that "no news is good news". Have a bias to action in looking for ways to contribute, take on more, and find effeciency. This period is going to be hard, but there will be some great things that come from it. I have been an entreprenuer for 16 years. I would estimate that 80-90% of the best ideas I have seen implemented were the result of challenging business climate. Pressure helps us to focus and make the needed tough decisions. Lack of resources spurs creativity and new approaches. During easy times there is a build up of things that need to change, but because there is no pressure to take action nothing happens. When the going gets rough it leads to decisons that were long overdue. For most of the last 10 years I have paid someone to mow my lawn. But recently I decided to start doing it myself again. As I was mowing, I kept coming back to one thought: We are entering the "mow your own lawn" era for businesses.

@michaelpatron0 @ajassy You might have some listing switch to fbm unknowingly

Amazon sending this email out on a Friday night. Log in and my defect rate is 0.36%. lol. @ajassy can you teach me to be a better seller?

@JaneZha59357438 @CameronWalkerSZ @michaelpatron0 @Molson_Hart Sure.. can visit my team in Singapore

@CameronWalkerSZ @michaelpatron0 @Molson_Hart @ivankeababies Ivan, any chance for me to have a visit in Singapore?

@michaelpatron0 @CameronWalkerSZ @Molson_Hart rejected by US consulate 😭 Hundreds of people waiting in line, no phone no bags except file bags. Waiting more than two hours, checking and figure printing, then an interview, then rejection without tell any reason, just told policy changes….

This has gone too far.. @shoptemu sellers using fake USPS labels to maintain their ultra low cost price and hurting the real US businesses. restofworld.org/2025/temu-sell…

How much of amazon profits comes from third party seller? How much has it increase over the years? Read on.. fortune.com/2025/02/07/ama…

@michaelpatron0 @ajassy The least we should expect from paying these fees are better and faster turnaround for inventory receiving and transfer, for our products to be made available for prime delivery nationwide. But that did not happen, in fact it got worst last Q4

In Q4 last year I paid Amazon more than 56,500 in "placement fees" for FBA. These are made up fees that offer zero benefit and are a tax on sellers. @ajassy needs to address these and explain why sellers should pay hundreds of thousands more per year for ZERO benefits.

@tri_brk @Aaron_Cordovez @amznsellerhelp @dharmeshmehta Just email the rep and ask for new, or ask to have a call with the rep manager

Hi @amznsellerhelp @dharmeshmehta we have a product down on Amazon and the reason is "Reason not found". No one at seller support can tell us what is wrong, ZERO emails came in saying what the issue was. ASIN: B0D8R9QRWL and it's variations. Literally the Amazon reps, when we call and ask, tell us that they themselves do not what is wrong. There's no original email why it was shut down, so we have no clue of what to even fix. Lost sales is already over $100,000. With 14,000+ units incurring storage fees, and no reason as to why the product is shut down. Please help.
