6 things Amazon sellers need to know today.
👇
❶ Court just ordered CBP to release goods without IEEPA tariff charges.
If you've been paying them - you may be owed refunds.
❷ Amazon's March 5 outage? Caused by a bad code deployment.
5 hours offline. 20,000+ users affected.
No seller credits announced.
Document your lost sales data from that window.
⤷ Just in case.
❸ DD+7 payout delay goes live March 12.
That's 5 days from now.
If you're doing $10K/day, that's $70K+ locked up at any given time.
Bridge financing, restock timing, credit lines - figure it out now or feel it later.
❹ Commingling ends March 31.
Brand Registry owners keep manufacturer barcodes.
Resellers without Brand Registry must switch to Amazon barcode labeling or risk shipment rejections.
❺ Amazon launched AI Canvas in Seller Central.
Free for all U.S. and U.K. sellers.
Natural language chat + real-time dashboards built on Bedrock, Nova, and Claude. It's Amazon's play to replace the third-party analytics tools you're paying for.
❻ FBA fees from January 15 are now fully baked into Q1.
~$0.08/unit FBA increase. $0.24/unit Buy with Prime. $0.30/unit MCF.
Stack that on DD+7 and the end of FBA prep services.
If you haven't re-run your unit economics this quarter, you're flying blind.
Which one of these hits your business the hardest?
