Over $250k worth of “squishies”

Amazon is going to start giving brands the ability to spend advertising dollars soliciting reviews. My initial reactions: This is very smart for Amazon This feels like extortion for sellers Where do I sign up

At Accelerate almost every seller I spoke with asked the same SOS question: will Amazon roll back changes or reduce fees? Well the word is, a major fee discussions is happening in the next few weeks among Amazon leadership. Usually, that means increases. But will this time be different? ↓

Baier: $5000 for every adult citizen, that's about $1.3 trillion. The critics will say the president is bribing voters and he's bankrupting the country. Vance: Tariffs have generated a lot of revenues. The president is saying, if you keep us in power, then you will share in some of the benefit of this incredible wealth that we are creating

I've spent an untold number of flights pushing a charger into an airplane seat like I'm holding a baby bird. I finally learned the trick- an el cheapo international travel adapter goes into the garbage socket first. Your brick then plugs into the adapter. The adapter grips tight on both ends, whereas your plug was constantly sliding out from a highly violated socket. Full battery. Whole flight. No hands, feet, or creatively stacked carry-ons.

I genuinely don’t understand what Amazon is thinking with this one. A few weeks ago, sellers started noticing that Amazon is now prompting customers to leave a star rating while they are returning a product. Think about the selection bias here. You are asking for a product rating at the exact moment a customer has decided they don’t want the product. Of course those ratings are going to skew negative. Over enough volume, this has the potential to systematically pull down the star ratings of legitimate products across Amazon. And the sellers most exposed are the ones actually playing by the rules. If you refuse to manipulate reviews, you have no way to offset a new stream of ratings being collected from customers during one of the most negative moments in their entire purchase journey. Meanwhile, sellers willing to use black hat tactics to protect their ratings have an even bigger advantage. How is that good for the marketplace? I don’t know what the logic is here. Is Amazon trying to push more sellers toward returnless refunds? Is there some broader strategy around its paid review programs? Or did nobody fully think through what happens when you insert a review request directly into the return funnel? Whatever the reason, this is another unilateral marketplace change that can materially affect the economics of thousands of businesses. Ratings drive conversion. Conversion drives organic rank. Lower conversion means more advertising just to maintain the same sales. And eventually sellers start asking a very simple question: Why launch my next product on Amazon? That is the part Amazon should care about. We want Amazon to remain the best marketplace in the world to build great products. But changes like this make legitimate sellers increasingly hesitant to take the risk of launching something new. This also seems like one of the easiest things Amazon could reverse. There isn’t an obvious fee attached to it. There isn’t some massive infrastructure change required. Just stop asking customers to rate products while they’re returning them. It would be a small change for Amazon. But it would send a pretty meaningful signal to sellers that Amazon is listening.

An Amazon worker is seen using a powered trailer spotter With this tool, Amazon can have workers move these massive trailers around a yard. It is much cheaper than having a truck driver do it and no CDL or licensing is required This means a yard worker making $19 an hour can do this job as opposed to a licensed trucker which can cost significantly more and needs a CDL
