In this episode, the podcast dives into Amazon's new FBA inventory reimbursement policy, set to take effect on March 10, 2025, which has stirred up quite a bit of frustration among sellers. The updated policy shifts the way reimbursements are calculated, now relying on the manufacturing costs of products, while leaving out shipping, handling, and other fees. This change could lead to significantly lower payments for inventory that gets lost or damaged. Although Amazon touts this move as a step towards greater transparency and predictability, the host is wary, suggesting that the announcement is vague and potentially deceptive, raising questions about the company's motivations and how it will handle seller-supplied cost information. Additionally, the episode touches on other relevant news, including TikTok Shop's growing success, upcoming fee changes for Amazon sellers in the EU, new features on the Seller Central dashboard, and updates to Amazon's DSP advertising platform.
