We’re back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10’s VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton.

Did Amazon Make Prime Day Deals More Expensive?
Amazon has outlined key Prime Day planning deadlines in Seller Central, including a May 26 cutoff for deal submissions, a May 27 deadline for AWD inventory and minimal-split FBA shipments, and a June 5 deadline for optimized split shipments, while strongly hinting that the event could land in the final week of June. The update also brings higher promotion costs and stricter pricing rules, including a $100 upfront fee and 1.5% variable fee on Prime Exclusive Discounts, while Bradley highlighted Amazon’s added FAQs sent to Helium 10 to help sellers navigate the changes—clarifying topics like early-submission discounts, how promotional sales are calculated, when fees are charged, how often deal recommendations refresh, whether pricing can be edited, and how coupon activity now affects the 30- and 60-day lowest price requirements.

New Feature Alert: Helium 10 has launched TikTok Shop UK support, letting sellers convert Amazon UK listings into TikTok Shop-ready listings with AI in seconds. The feature is now in Platinum and Diamond members.

Walmart says ChatGPT checkout converted 3x worse than its own website

Strategy of the Week: Helium 10’s Search Query Analyzer lets sellers review up to 12 months of Amazon search query performance data with AI insights in seconds, helping uncover top-converting and low-visibility keywords. Upgrade your membership to Diamond with code SSP20 for up to 20% off for 6 months.

Reminder: Amazon’s commingling policy ends March 31st, meaning brand owners can rely on UPCs instead of FNSKU labels for many products. The change could simplify sellers' prep and labeling.
Commingling practices will end effective March 31, 2026
