@EugeneKhayman MDS has been a great community, I’ve been in since 2021. There’s always someone knowledgeable with the answer to whatever question/problem I’m dealing with every time.

Amazon is a homeland security issue at this point. It's a tool for China to destroy nearly 100% of SUCCESSFUL small American businesses selling on the platform.

[Shinghi @ShinghiD]

Chinese Sellers on Amazon:
Pay ZERO taxes to the US
Lie, Cheat and Steal their way to sell products
Have ZERO liability for the products they sell
Buy Fake Reviews
Steal the inventions & copyrights of US Businesses

For every 1 good Chinese Seller, there are 99 bad ones.

When I look at investing in companies, if you have any level of dependency on Amazon, its a negative. I would love to have people post what percent of sales in fees from Amazon and Walmart they are experiencing

The numbers I have seen are INSANE AND UNSUSTAINABLE.

That's one of the key reasons why protecting American companies from knock offs is so important.

World Premiere of Amazon — Market. Power! Monopoly?

This documentary will show you how Amazon uses its size and power to raise prices, for you, the consumer.

The documentary follows four sellers on Amazon, two in Europe, two in the US, and their journey to survive on the platform.

It begins with an explanation of Amazon's pricing policies and the complex way Amazon enforces them.

Watch this foundational beginning section carefully and your mind will be blown later in the documentary when you see what goes on behind the scenes, when you click buy.

This is an extremely important documentary. Amazon responds to fair criticism and it is my hope, that with your support that we can change Amazon's policies.

So sellers can set their own prices.

And so you can pay less when you shop online.

Thank you and enjoy!

@michaelpatron0 @Costco Used to think the same exact thing for years! but since the gas prices have surged last 2 years I realized I save $0.70 per gallon or $15 for my SUV each week, probably $10 per week for wife’s car and I only go early/late when Costco store isn’t open there is no line at all

[Jess Castle @JessCastle19]

Amazon stole our BS badge by selling their product in the wrong category. This is a policy violation. Amazon is stealing sales from a small family business.

Help needed 3 ASIN's down due to a utility patent filing. I spoke with the CEO of the patent holder & he stated "I will reinstate these asins". No action yet, Seller Support hasn't been helpful either! Case ID 12557676911

Amazon customer order for $1284 from Dec 2022 was invoiced but payment never actually applied to our account yet. Seller support hasn’t replied to case since opening in Feb. Would like to know status of payment @amznsellerhelp

[Sean Chow @seaniechow]

1 month+ with no resolution. Hero ASIN listing miscategorized into irrelevant category. Thousands in lost sales + irrelevant categorisation leading to confusion for buyers.

3 of our best selling ASINs have been incorrectly marked as “Defective”. We are the only manufacturer and brand registered seller of this item. Please help correct this! @AmazonHelp @dharmeshmehta @sellersupport @amznsellerhelp @amazon

[Jon Klein @jonmidas1]

@amzsellerhelp @AmazonHelp @dharmeshmehta Our best selling ASIN has been incorrectly marked as "recalled" and all units moved to Defective. We are the only manufacturer and brand registered seller of this item. Please help correct this!

[Blast Off Ecom @EcomStonks]

We are a manufacturer and brand owner that have been attacked by fraudulent sellers

Amazon and Brand registry are not helping us. Our small business just launched and may become bankrupt because of this issue.

[Jess Castle @JessCastle19]

Amazon has sidelined our inventory in Canada for 10 days now- we lost the Best Seller Badge and continue to be penalised: IPI score and high storage fees for no reason!
Please release our inventory

Amazon has once again wrongfully taken down 7 ASINs that are direct replacement automotive parts & accused us of violating their policies. Even after submitting proof that the products are within Amazon Policy, Support denies the Appeal

16,000 units @ 100% off wiped out in 3 hours.

@amazon customers were able to exploit our Amazon BOGO promotion to somehow get BOTH items for free, without actually purchasing either one.

End result = -$175K loss in 3 hours
