In the latest episode of the Amazon Seller News Live podcast, several important updates for Amazon sellers are discussed. One major topic is the introduction of Amazon Haul, a budget shopping feature that has raised concerns among sellers. With its low prices and questionable quality control, it risks undermining established businesses and favors Chinese manufacturers. At the same time, Amazon is facing capacity issues, leading to shipping delays and rising costs for sellers, prompting many to seek alternative logistics options. The podcast also highlights a recent change allowing the shipment of dangerous goods through Amazon Buy Shipping. Additionally, it reveals that smaller third-party sellers are spending significantly more on Amazon ads compared to larger first-party brands, underscoring the challenges these smaller businesses face on the platform. Overall, the discussion reflects a deep frustration with Amazon's policies, which seem to prioritize larger companies and overseas manufacturers over established U.S. sellers.
