Biggest issue with @Deliveroo right now: Diamond priority @Deliveroo feels pointless when most drivers juggle multiple apps and deliveries at once. Not fun watching your food head in opposite direction to your home

100+ Amazon sellers have already helped shape SOS with their data.

Now I am asking for your input.

Save Our Sellers is a campaign to bring real awareness to what is happening inside the Amazon marketplace right now.

Rising fees.
Policy changes.
More complexity.
Less room for reinvestment.

And a growing concern that the incentives that made the marketplace so strong are starting to move in the wrong direction.

This is not about attacking Amazon.

Amazon helped many of us build life-changing businesses. We want the marketplace to thrive.

But if sellers want to be heard by Amazon, the press, and the broader business community, we need more than anecdotes.

We need real data from real operators.

MDS members have already started completing the SOS survey, and the early responses are showing clear patterns that deserve a much bigger spotlight.

Now we need to expand the data set beyond MDS.

The more Amazon sellers who complete the survey, the stronger the story becomes.

If you sell on Amazon, please take a few minutes to complete the SOS survey and help shape the narrative of this campaign.

Your experience matters.

Save Our Sellers.
Save the marketplace.
Reverse the curve.

My community has $15b of yearly sales on Amazon with 800+ members.

These are small businesses. They employ real Americans and support local communities.

They do not have large margins to absorb shocks.

Every year Amazon squeezes them more and supports overseas Chinese sellers instead of local American businesses.

Now Amazon is hitting sellers with even more of a squeeze all back to back:

https://t.co/Xc1IeD5QHd has moved many sellers to DD+7
Meaning funds are held until 7 days after delivery, not simply paid out on the old cadence.
https://t.co/YkUKQvr0Uo just added a 3.5% fuel/logistics surcharge on fulfillment fees.
https://t.co/L9WWJUDkr8 top it off now Amazon Ads charges will be pulled directly from disbursements rather than floating on a credit card.

That combination matters.

Amazon already forces sellers into an environment where ads dominate visibility.
So now the same platform that pressures brands to spend more on ads is also tightening payout timing and pulling more cash out before sellers ever see it.

For a very large business, this is just a minor annoyance. But for a small business making payroll just got 50x harder.

Less cash on hand means:
less inventory
more stockouts
more debt
more strain on small teams
and ultimately a worse customer experience

This is not “supporting small business.”
It is starving the brands that create so much of the value customers come to Amazon for.

If you’re covering Amazon, local communities hit by a hard economy and large companies trying to squeeze hardworking Americans hit me up.

When I was a kid, bedtime was 9 pm. I couldn't wait to be a grownup so I could go to bed anytime I wanted.

Turns out that is 9 pm.

Gotta hand it to the authorities. At first I was mad when they scrubbed the Banksy, but they have unintentionally made one of the most powerful artworks of all time.

Operating guardrails that held up:
COGS 18–22%
Ads 10–15% (mix off-platform)
Payroll 5–10%

Miss these and everything gets harder.

We’re debating H1B visas while missing a massive issue impacting 1.1 million U.S.-based small businesses:

Chinese sellers are replacing U.S. small businesses on Amazon at scale—taking $238 BILLION in sales in 2023 while dodging taxes and regulations.

This isn’t just about jobs. This is about America’s future. 🧵👇
