Mike and Ben go over EcomCrew’s Amazon ToS Handbook to answer some burning questions you might have as an ecommerce seller.

 

Being an Amazon seller is tough, and the fact that Amazon rarely ever gives categorical answers to sellers’ questions does not make it easier. Matter of fact, Amazon’s selling terms of service are almost always either vague, elusive, or downright contradictory. 

 

This is why we crafted EcomCrew’s Unofficial Guide to Amazon ToS, where you can find the answers to all your burning questions as a seller all in one place. 

 

In this Back to Basics session, Ben and I will go through the handbook to give you a clear idea of what you can and cannot do on Amazon..
