Bye everyone!
It’s been a wild and crazy 16 year run here, but it’s time to move on. Since mid last year I have been planning my exit here and I’m happy to say I that I will be shutting down my seller accounts and leaving Amazon for good. The past few years have been challenging to say the least and the environment here is no longer conducive to small sellers and the rising FBA fees have become untenable.
“Adapt or die.” has always been the motto here, well I frankly got tired of adapting and started two new businesses within the last year which have exceeded my wildest expectations and don’t rely on a dishonest “partner” like Amazon.
I’ve enjoyed the many sellers I’ve befriended over the years and even respect some of my haters, but eventually all good things must come to an end. Good luck everyone it’s been nice knowing you!

A lot of us are not as active as in the past and are also pursuing other options, though I’m not ready to abandon ship yet.
Good luck in all you do and so happy for your new successful ventures.

Good luck to you – and good timing. If you were going to leave anyway, this new forum is a good impetus to do it now.

Your new life sounds wonderful! And what a fantastic addition to your area your new business is. Your name is one of the ones I remember seeing from my long-ago start here, so I’ll miss seeing you around, but am so happy that we can now picture you in your new field, doing such fulfilling work. Impossible not to smile as I type this. Ciao!!

Good for you. It’s nice to see someone break free of needing Amazon for income.
Good luck and I know you will find dogs a much friendlier business than Amazon
