I will not sell anything on Amazon anymore!
by Seller_RlI0vSPrzsKkD
Amazon replied

I am a new seller.

After one year of selling things on Amazon, I found that all my profit is taken by Amazon, The algorithm is precisely controlling the views of my products, the advertisement cost and the sale amount。

99% of my profit is taken by Amazon. I can barely get my cost back. Amazon is using us.

It’s a fraud.I am quit. But unfortunately there are more new sellers coming, god bless Amazon!

How was everyone's Prime Day(s) this week?
by Seller_kwjyF9c2ykjJG
Amazon replied

Short story short - this Prime Day was our worst. Not only did we not sell nearly as many products as we have in the past, we sold less than on a regular day. Is there anyway to figure out WHY this happens? We have a lot of PPC running and our niche does really well this time of year.

We're frustrated.

Hi Sellers!

With Black Friday/Cyber Monday approaching, there's one date you absolutely need to know: October 30th, 2025 is your FBA "Amazon-optimized shipment splits" cutoff. We're sharing this deadline to help ensure your products arrive in time for peak holiday shopping, and to help you avoid stockouts and shipping delays that could impact your Q4 performance. Let's make sure you're prepared!

Essential Action Items

  1. Check Your Capacity: Review November limits in Capacity Monitor and request additional space through Capacity Manager if needed.
  2. Maintain Healthy Stock: Keep 28-day minimum inventory per ASIN, aim for 4-6 weeks of stock before major events, and download your FBA Inventory report for specific recommendations.
  3. Optimize Your Shipments: Book carriers early - at least 7 days before deadlines. Use night/weekend appointments for faster processing, pack deal inventory in separate boxes, and provide accurate tracking info and delivery windows.

Quick Tools Guide

Are you facing any major challenges preparing for peak season? Share with us below - We want to help!

My time to leave... very long story short.
by Seller_XpaRFtmt3ayvs
Amazon replied

Started in 2009, at one point I was in the top 20% on Amazon. A few years later, Amazon started selling in my category and moved me down on searches and what not.

At that time we had to search for a different product, so we ended up designing a product in a completely different category, trademarked a brand, and launched it... The product did well, so we sent it to FBA, where sales quickly picked up; however, each year we noticed our profits lower and lower.

The fees and new fees coming up almost every quarter were killing us, and then this and last year have been a huge headache with sudden reversals for inventory over ASINs that aren't even ours. Somewhere FBA made a mistake with a product and decided to punish us for their mistake. This is where we draw the line and say no more.

I hope one day a class action litigation puts an end to this fraud you are committing against 3P sellers, not only with shipping adjustments, but also lost inventory and price manipulation.

Not going to lie, we made money selling on this platform 10 years ago, but now we are seeing our profits diminish so much that isn't even worth it. Not even the time we spend writing to Seller Support, to receive canned broken English responses back and forward and surprise fees coming up suddenly on our account.

Enough...

Wish you all luck, and keep fighting for what's fair our there.

This is my last post/reply.
