Full News: https://amazonseller.school/amazon-news-ai-battles-faster-prime-shipping-costly-returns-rip-virtual-bundles/

Let’s dig in.

AI isn’t just changing e-commerce—it’s taking Amazon to court. Amazon’s lawsuit against Perplexity reveals a growing war between platforms and AI browsers that bypass ads and traditional storefronts. Sellers should be watching closely—these tools could reshape how customers find and buy products online.

https://www.pcmag.com/news/amazon-sends-perplexity-a-cease-and-desist-over-its-ai-agents-shopping

Data transparency just went global. Starting this quarter, Amazon will begin sharing revenue and identity data for all China-based sellers directly with the Chinese tax bureau. It’s a move that signals rising scrutiny on international sellers—and a future where no marketplace operates outside regulatory reach.

https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202510/16/WS68f0999ea310f735438b55e8.html

Developers are getting a new bill—and sellers might feel it next. Amazon’s updated SP-API fee structure means tool providers could soon pass rising costs to users. If your business relies on data dashboards, automation, or campaign optimizers, expect subscription prices to climb in 2026.

Convenience always costs someone—and now it’s sellers. With Amazon Doorstep Returns, customers can ship items back from their own homes, making returns frictionless—but at the expense of seller margins. Return fraud, restocking costs, and free shipping expectations are becoming the new battlefield for profitability.

https://myamazonguy.com/news/amazon-doorstep-returns/

We’ll break down what these changes mean for sellers who want to stay competitive without getting crushed by new rules, rising costs, and AI-driven chaos.

Full News: https://amazonseller.school/amazon-news-new-ai-shopping-tool-holiday-spending-trends-key-seller-updates/

Let’s dig into what really moves the needle this week. 

Amazon Sellers are about to face a smarter shopper. Amazon’s new Help Me Decide feature compares products, prices, and reviews automatically—rewarding clear data and penalizing weak listings.

Amazon’s New AI Shopping Tool “Help Me Decide” Transforms Product Discovery https://www.fastcompany.com/91427815/amazon-new-ai-shopping-feature-is-actually-pretty-helpful

Holiday spending is up, but expectations are higher. Shopify reports a 24% rise in global sales—driven by discounts, bundles, and AI-assisted shopping—but customers are demanding frictionless, multi-channel consistency.

Spending Rebounds as AI Shapes the 2025 Holiday Shopping Season https://www.shopify.com/news/global-holiday-retail-report-2025

ChatGPT sends traffic, not conversions (yet). While AI referrals are growing, conversion rates still lag behind traditional search. Sellers should watch this channel closely—it’s early, but evolving fast.

ChatGPT Sends Traffic, But Sales Still Lag Behind Traditional Channels https://digiday.com/marketing/e-commerce-sites-see-low-sales-from-chatgpt-traffic-new-study-finds/

Browsing just got intelligent. OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Atlas Browser embeds AI into every webpage—summarizing, comparing, and automating on the fly. If this sticks, product discovery may soon start before Amazon search.

Join me today as we cut through the noise and focus on what actually hits your bottom line. 

Amazon Sellers, October’s Prime Day fell flat. Shoppers bought basics, not splurges—signaling Q4 demand will be harder to capture.

Washington State just expanded taxes on digital ads and tech services. This adds costs for campaigns, development, and staffing, with lawsuits already underway.

Amazon’s new “Add to Delivery” feature lets shoppers bundle items into existing orders. That means bigger baskets for Prime-eligible products.

Critics say Amazon has gone “past its prime.” Sellers face higher fees, mandatory programs, and search results cluttered with ads—while Amazon keeps more of every dollar.

And sellers now get more control with partial refunds on FBA returns. This change cuts return costs and gives sellers more flexibility across six major markets.

Here’s what we’ll cover today:

AI isn’t just talking about your products, it’s now selling them. Walmart, Etsy, and Shopify are catching a wave of AI-driven traffic while Amazon tightens its walls with Rufus. Meanwhile, China-based sellers now make up more than half of Amazon’s seller base, and Amazon itself is pushing a new grocery brand where almost everything is under $5.

That’s not all—ChatGPT’s new instant checkout is already moving stock for Etsy and soon Shopify. Deals, traffic, and competition are changing fast, and sellers need to keep pace.

I’ll break it down today so you know what matters before Q4 heats up. 🎯📦

Amazon’s Accelerate pitch was loaded with AI demos, but the biggest cheer came when they killed commingling. For sellers, that means less liability, fewer counterfeits, and $600M in potential savings.

There’s also a new FBA Business fee discount. Multi-unit orders now bring better margins if you apply volume pricing.

Meanwhile, Amazon just agreed to a $2.5B FTC settlement. Prime’s “hard to cancel” tactics are being scrapped, and sellers should take note: regulatory pressure is ramping up.

Alibaba is luring Amazon brands with cheaper fees and shipping. Europe and LATAM are in their sights, and that could tempt sellers looking beyond Amazon.

And Walmart’s marketplace growth is under fire. A CNBC report shows fake storefronts, stolen IDs, and counterfeit goods are slipping through—something Amazon sellers can use to highlight compliance as a competitive edge.

The age of agentic AI is here. Amazon’s new Bedrock-powered assistant goes beyond automation—taking on pricing, ads, and even account health.

Commingling is finally dead. Your inventory stays yours, counterfeit risk drops, and sellers save an estimated $600M in relabeling.

Then there’s Netflix teaming with Amazon Ads. Programmatic access to Netflix inventory could be your new storytelling channel.

And Amazon’s Multi-Channel Fulfillment just leveled up. Now it covers Walmart, Shopify, and SHEIN—one inventory pool fueling multiple sales channels.

We’ll dive into Walmart’s latest push into brick-and-click commerce, a billion-dollar Amazon seller face-off, and what a reversal on variation cleanups means for Q4 prep. 🚨

Join me as we break it all down with no fluff—just strategy.

Amazon Sellers — Walmart’s aiming to put your listings in their aisles.

The retail giant is testing QR codes in stores that promote third-party marketplace listings—bringing online-only products into the physical world, without added fees. This is a big step for multichannel sellers watching Walmart as a rising force.

https://www.modernretail.co/technology/walmart-is-testing-a-new-way-to-show-off-products-from-third-party-marketplace-sellers-in-stores/

Two billion-dollar Amazon strategies go head-to-head.

Pattern (reseller model) vs. Anker (brand builder). One IPO, one household name. This isn’t just about business models—it’s about what type of Amazon success the market is willing to reward.

https://www.marketplacepulse.com/articles/pattern-the-anti-anker

Amazon buyers are shifting their dollars to essentials—but they’re paying more.

Searches in Health & Household and Grocery are up. Electronics and Apparel are slipping. If you’re in essentials, this is your pricing opportunity. For the rest, it’s time to rethink your value narrative.

Variation chaos averted.

Amazon reversed its variation theme cleanup policy after seller backlash. Only variations with zero sales in the last 12 months are now at risk. If your variation structure still drives traffic—breathe easy. For now.

Let’s dig into what these moves mean for your margins, marketplace strategy, and fourth-quarter game plan.

I’m going to cover Amazon’s damaged inventory update, Best Buy’s new threat, and why your peak season prep may already be at risk. 🤖

If you’re serious about profit and control, this is one stream you don’t want to miss.

Amazon Sellers, your FBA damaged goods just got a policy overhaul. Now you get to choose—cash back or take back—but only if you act.

We’ll also talk about the new AI Seller Assistant. Amazon says it helps, but what else is it tracking?

Meanwhile, Best Buy’s third-party marketplace just went live. If you’re in tech, appliances, or sports merch—this might be your next channel.

And if your top SKUs are already facing storage limits… You’re not alone. The Q4 warehouse squeeze has started.

Here’s what I’m breaking down:

Show Notes: https://amazonseller.school/uncovering-the-hidden-goldmine-how-to-start-selling-on-amazon-japan-with-gary-huang/

In this episode of Amazon Seller School, I sat down with Gary Huang—Amazon Japan insider, sourcing expert, and founder of the Seven Figure Seller Summit—to expose what most sellers miss: Japan is wide open, it’s growing fast, and the competition is weak.

The barriers to entry are what keep your competitors out. Don’t let the language, compliance, or logistics scare you. That’s your moat. "You have to be willing to do things other sellers aren’t willing to do if you want to win." Period.

Gary walks us through his Six Bridges to Selling in Japan framework—a real-world playbook that’s launching 7-figure sellers into an overlooked goldmine.

You’ll learn:

👉 How to evaluate product-market fit for Japan using Amazon’s Product Opportunity Explorer 👉 Why Japanese logistics are faster and cheaper than shipping to the US or EU 👉 What localization actually means (hint: it’s not Google Translate) 👉 How to ride Amazon’s Global Review Program for a trust boost from day one

Amazon sellers, imagine launching into a $55B marketplace where the #1 yoga mat only has 373 reviews. In the US? That same product has over 75,000. "If I can sell in Japan without speaking Japanese, you can too."

We also dig into real case studies, like how Gary turned selling kites into becoming a top seller in Japan—and the wild story of how KFC became the Christmas dinner tradition over there.

You’ll hear about cultural quirks, like how Japanese consumers react to marketing, what “Japanification” of your listings actually looks like, and why brands like Starbucks crush it by leaning into cherry blossom season.

You’ll also find out:

👉 Why Facebook is basically dead in Japan but LINE and Twitter are where the real action is 👉 How Amazon Japan’s PPC costs are 30% to 70% cheaper than the US 👉 Why shipping from China to Japan takes one week, not a month 👉 How to navigate import compliance without starting a Japanese company

This episode is full of actionable steps and mindset shifts to help you expand globally without getting buried in red tape.

Gary even drops a free resource—the Japan Scorecard—to evaluate whether your product has legs in Japan.

Don’t miss this. You’ll walk away realizing Japan might be the best move you’ve never considered.

"Many brands struggle with resellers because of liability issues, compliance concerns, and lack of control over listings. But as a reseller, if you can position yourself as a problem-solver, not a problem, you can earn their trust."

We discuss how to address brand pain points, including creating Amazon-only SKUs, improving compliance, and running data-driven ads to add real value. Robyn also explains why transparency is your strongest weapon when building trust: "It’s not about getting engaged on the first date; brands want to know you bring real value to the table."

Key Topics:

👉 Why brands often resist resellers—and how to change their minds. 👉 How Amazon’s focus on compliance is reshaping the marketplace. 👉 Strategies for resellers to stand out and add value. 👉 The future of resellers in a maturing Amazon ecosystem.

Robyn also highlights the importance of diversifying beyond Amazon and understanding your role in a brand's broader e-commerce strategy. Whether you’re a reseller trying to stand out or a brand deciding whether to work with resellers, this episode is packed with insights you can’t afford to miss.

👉  Why offering business discounts might be the smartest move you’ve skipped 👉  The advantage of competing in Amazon’s Business Buy Box

👉 Using Seller Snap for automated, dynamic repricing 👉  Quick hacks for leveraging Amazon’s B2B features

Adrian explains how Amazon’s business pricing feature isn’t just about offering a slight discount—it’s about attracting serious business buyers who often purchase in bulk. We dig into the distinct buy box for business, which you might not even know exists. Imagine this: your product shows up as the best value in the business category, outshining competitors who don’t utilize business pricing. “If you’re selling on a listing with three other sellers, they don’t even know you have a business discount on," Adrian says, “and that edge is enough to get you the sale.”

We also talk about Seller Snap’s AI-powered repricing tool, which now automatically adjusts business pricing for you. Imagine less time on manual adjustments and more time focusing on growth. Adrian walks through strategies for tracking competitors while still maintaining strong margins—particularly useful if you’re a private label seller aiming to stand out in B2B.

Private label sellers, don’t miss the section where Adrian explains why adding quantity discounts can make your offer irresistible. Even in saturated categories, a few cents off per unit might convince customers to buy in bulk and boost your total sales.

Amazon Sellers, it’s time to rethink how you structure ad campaigns. Elizabeth dives into why grouping keywords in one campaign limits scalability and why separating by match types and ad groups is essential for long-term success. “If you throw all your keywords in one campaign, you’ll end up with a big structure that performs well—but you can’t scale it. You’re missing out on critical control.”

👉 Set up single campaigns for control 👉 Prioritize keywords by budget 👉 Use autos, broads, and exact matches strategically 👉 Track ad spend allocation by product

From understanding the hidden cost benefits of auto campaigns to learning the best ways to manage large SKU sets, this episode is loaded with insights you won’t find in traditional ad guides. Elizabeth reveals how optimizing ads for both profitability and market share can help keep your Amazon business cash-flow positive.

Want more insight into allocating ad spend by product? Elizabeth breaks down why it’s essential to look at ad spend by SKU and match it to performance: “If you’re spending 30% of your budget on a low-performing product, you’re losing money where you could be growing.”

We’ll start with Amazon’s new “Low-Cost Store,” a direct play against Temu, bringing unbranded products to the forefront with unbeatable prices under $20. Plus, if you’ve noticed your FBA fees creeping up, Aaron Cordovez has the insights on the October 15th fee hike and how you might need to adjust.

Amazon is cracking down harder than ever on incorrect bundles and variations, and Leah gives us the inside scoop on what the platform is really enforcing. "Amazon’s always had this policy, but now we’re seeing more suspensions because brands are pushing back." Bundling your products the wrong way? You could be suspended before you even know what hit you.

Ever wonder how AI is playing a role in compliance? It's not always your friend. We dig into how Amazon’s AI is scanning listings and why it’s flagging some for suspension—even when the seller has done nothing wrong. If you've been using AI to handle compliance, you might want to think twice. "AI isn’t always the magic bullet sellers think it is."

👉 Get the right letter of authorization before bundling major brands. 🔹 👉 AI tools used for compliance often fall short, leading to more headaches.

👉 Amazon’s variation policy is extremely literal—one small mistake, and you’re at risk.

👉 Avoid suspension by following bundling guidelines to the letter.

Whether you’re just starting or you’re a seasoned seller, this episode is packed with actionable insights that could save your Amazon business from costly mistakes. Don’t miss Leah’s expert advice on how to navigate Amazon’s tricky suspension landscape.

Yoni shares invaluable insights into how hiring Filipino virtual assistants transformed his business and allowed him to focus on scaling. His approach isn’t just about getting tasks off your plate but also making sure the right people are doing the right jobs—based on skills, not just task lists. As Yoni puts it, “When you build task lists, you become the bottleneck of your own business. Instead, delegate based on skills and accountability.”

Amazon Sellers, if you’ve hit that $500K to $1 million mark, this episode is packed with gems to push you to the next level. You’ll hear why building out a company wiki and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) is a game-changer. Yoni explains, “A company wiki is self-serve. It keeps you from getting sucked into every single task and lets your team grow independently.”

Key highlights from the episode

👉: Build a team around specific skills, not tasks.

👉:  Filipino talent offers excellent value—Yoni’s top hires include graphic designers, PPC experts, and web developers.

👉:  Pay structure matters. Benefits like paid holidays and bonuses help you attract and retain top talent.

Whether you're looking to scale or exit, this episode covers it all. Yoni dives deep into the importance of knowing your end game: Are you building a lifestyle business or prepping for a big liquidity event? Once you have that clarity, it’s time to set goals and delegate effectively. You’ll learn how he structured a team that helped him hit $5 million and beyond without burning out.

Listen in to find out how you can start applying these strategies to your own Amazon business—using the same blueprint that worked for Yoni.
