Why Amazon Cut Fees Right Before Christmas

This week on Upside, we’re back on the news - and surprisingly, there is some good stuff.

First up:
Amazon has cut FBA fees across the UK & Europe (and dropped commission in parts of apparel).

Yes, right before Christmas.

And yes… probably because Temu, Shein and Walmart are breathing down their necks.

Good news? Absolutely.
Simple? Not quite.

Because while Amazon’s sharing savings, it also:

• Helps overseas sellers lower prices even more

• Puts extra pressure on UK margins

• Raises the question… why were fees pushed up in the first place?

Then we get into the part Zamir really cares about.

The UK Budget.
Nothing for small businesses. Again.

We unpack:

• Why Brexit is still costing the UK ~£100bn a year

• Why the UK is delaying protection against cheap imports while the US and EU move fast

• And what all of this means for margins, growth, and Q4 reality
