E545: Amazon Announces Delays to New Low Inventory Fees


Listen Later

Dave and I discuss the delays to the New "Low Inventory" fees, how you can be exempted from those fees, and the impending FTC Investigation into Amazon.

 

After months of complaints over the new fees, it seems like Amazon's heard (or read, in this case) the message that people aren't happy about being charged for having too little in FBA Warehouses. To gain some brownie points, they've decided to delay the effectivity date of these new fees. But what does this mean in the big picture? 

 

We all know that Amazon's being investigated by the FTC for their monopolistic practices. With that being said, why would Amazon choose to apply new fees that effectively erodes profit margin from third party sellers? 

 

We discuss that, and more in today's episode. Here's some timestamps below to get you started: 

  • Intro - 0:00 
  • Going to China and experiencing sandstorms - 0:31 
  • The Great Wall of China - 1:53
  • Big Amazon News & Official Announcement - 2:46 
  • Exceptions for AWD Users - 5:46 
  • "There are nuances to every business..." - 6:55 
  • Amazon's Monopoly - 8:59 
  • Investigating Overseas Sellers on Amazon - 10:52 
  • FTC's Investigation into Amazon - 13:03 
  • Why would Amazon announce new fees while being investigated by the FTC? - 16:32 
  • The FANG Companies vs. TikTok - 22:02
  • Making sure you're still profitable - 26:04

The big takeaway here is to make sure that you're still profitable. 

 

Go into your Amazon account, check out how much you are going to be charged in April for these fees, and adjust your pricing accordingly to make sure that you're still having a healthy and profitable business.
