Every week we round up the most-important, most-interesting, most-relevant, and sometimes most-bizarre news for and about Amazon sellers. Check in each Friday afternoon to catch up on the news of the week. Amazon policy changes, FBA, logistics, fees, expansions, counterfeits, advertising and PPC, black-hat tactics, law and government involvement, warehouses and workers, privacy and data usage, intellectual property, seller liability, Prime Day, Q4 prep . . . if its news that affects Amazon sellers, you’ll find it here.
With the exception of all signs pointing to Prime Day being held on or around October 5, it’s been a quiet week on the Amazon news front. Of course now that I’ve written that, something big will surely happen. Let’s hope things stay relatively calm so we can try to enjoy the holiday weekend. Be safe, have fun, sell well.
