Amazon's Been Busy

This week, we sit down to unpack a few changes that could seriously impact sellers over the next few months.

From rising fees to major operational shifts happening behind the scenes.

Here’s what we covered:

• Amazon quietly added new fuel & logistics surcharges

• Their prep services are being phased out

• Q1 numbers are in… and Amazon’s profitability is climbing fast

• Why ad costs could keep rising (and what sellers should do now)

But the interesting part isn’t just the news itself.
It’s what these changes signal about where Amazon is heading.

The platform seems more focused than ever on efficiency and profitability - which means sellers may need to become more adaptable, more strategic, and far less reliant on Amazon “figuring things out” for them.

We also get into:

• Why some brands could struggle with the prep-service changes

• How ad platforms are shifting between Google, Meta, and Amazon

• What smart sellers should start preparing for now

If you sell on Amazon (or plan to), this episode is worth paying attention to.

P.S. There’s also a surprisingly heated debate about whether Amazon is quietly pushing smaller sellers out… or if that’s completely overblown.
