Amazon may be testing a major review change, with some shoppers seeing only 10 reviews unless they apply for more. Amazon clarifies its multiple account policy. Plus, it's Episode 500 of the AM/PM Podcast! We're back with another episode of the Weekly Buzz with Helium 10's VP of Education and Strategy, Bradley Sutton. Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon, TikTok Shop, Walmart, and E-commerce space, talk about Helium 10's newest features, and provide a training tip for the week for serious sellers of any level. In this episode, we're switching things up with a fresh new look, and it's the perfect time because this is Episode 500 of the AM/PM Podcast! Join us for a quick trip down memory lane as we celebrate nearly 10 years of the AM/PM Podcast and keep Manny Coats' classic “How cool is that? Pretty cool, I think.” spirit alive. Amazon reviews might be acting weird again, and it could be more than just the usual “dog page” error some shoppers have seen for months. In this week's first story, Bradley shares a new test showing up on certain customer accounts where you can only view 10 reviews and then have to “apply” to see more, with Amazon promising an email response within five business days. If this expands, it could push more shoppers toward Rufus-style review summaries rather than reading reviews directly, and it could significantly impact how sellers and tools analyze review data. Especially after Amazon's crackdown that removed Helium 10's Review Insights. The good news: the Helium 10 team is working on a new, fully “Amazon-compliant” version that still provides high-quality review insights, and Bradley asks viewers to share in the comments if they're seeing the same review limits and whether they think it could roll out more widely.

He was doing $1.7M a year on Amazon wholesale. Then a counterfeit complaint got his account suspended for 180 days. Instead of folding, he pivoted to live selling on Whatnot and did $350K in under 10 months.Kip Roland (https://x.com/kip_roland) is one of the early movers in live selling on Whatnot and TikTok live auctions.

Send a textSupreme Court ruling strikes down major Trump tariffs, changing import costs for Amazon sellers overnight. This update affects China tariffs, reciprocal tariffs, import taxes, and seller inventory planning. With billions collected in tariff fees and refund questions still open, Amazon FBA sellers must review sourcing strategy, inventory orders, landed cost, and cash flow impact before the next policy shift. This tariff decision reshapes product margins, supply chain planning, and ecommerce pricing strategy heading into peak selling seasons.If tariff changes just reopened your margins, now is the time to get a real profit plan in place before the next policy shock hits.

Often, angry customers will demand a refund for shipping charges because their delivery was made past the guaranteed delivery date. It is very important to keep a customer happy but equally important to know under what circumstances FedEx or UPS will NOT issue a refund for late delivery. FedEx and UPS both have a money-back guarantee on all ground and express services. Here is a list of common reasons we see the carrier not issue a refund of transportation charges on deliveries made past the guarantee. Read More. Since 2006, Refund Retriever has audited FedEx and UPS packages for late deliveries and billing mistakes. Through a complete logistics analysis, we assist shippers in maximizing carrier discounts and achieving best-in-class pricing. Are you paying too much for your shipping? Refund Retriever also solves all your Amazon FBA reimbursement problems. We manually check the whole inventory lifecycle to guarantee all inventory is available for sale.

Ephraim Ausch, Chief Logistics Officer at Tactical Logistic Solutions. With years of hands-on experience helping brands navigate the complexities of Amazon FBA and global supply chains, Ephraim has been instrumental in guiding 7-figure sellers to scale with smarter, more reliable shipping and logistics strategies.At Tactical Logistic Solutions, he oversees everything from freight forwarding and customs clearance to warehousing and FBA prep, ensuring sellers not only get their products where they need to be, but also protect their margins and scale with confidence.Highlight Bullets> Here's a glimpse of what you would learn…. Challenges in e-commerce logistics for Amazon sellers scaling from seven to eight figures.Rising costs associated with Amazon's logistics services and AWS.Navigating tariffs and understanding shipping terms (DDP, FOB, EXW).Impact of increased competition from overseas sellers, particularly from China.Strategies for optimizing logistics to maintain profit margins.Importance of understanding Amazon's evolving inbound shipping policies.The role of third-party logistics (3PL) versus Amazon's own logistics services.The significance of brand storytelling in competing against price-focused overseas sellers.Recommendations for diversifying sales channels beyond Amazon.The necessity of consulting with logistics experts to improve supply chain management.In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley interviews Ephraim Ausch, Chief Logistics Officer at Tactical Logistics Solutions. They discuss the evolving challenges Amazon sellers face, including rising logistics costs, tariff complexities, and intense competition from overseas sellers. Ephraim shares actionable strategies for optimizing supply chains, navigating shipping terms, and maintaining profit margins. The conversation also covers the importance of brand building, diversification across marketplaces, and leveraging expert consultants. Practical advice and industry insights make this episode essential listening for e-commerce entrepreneurs aiming to scale and stay competitive.Here are the 3 action items that Josh identified from this episode:Audit Your DDP Strategy for Potential 10-15% Tariff SavingsWork with a customs consultant to analyze if having your manufacturer ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) makes sense for your products. Break down your product components (e.g., plastic handle vs. steel blade) on commercial invoices to potentially reduce duty classifications. This only works if your supplier's margins allow for it and they're willing to be the official shipper.Switch from Placement Fees to 5-Way Splits for Better CoverageStop paying Amazon placement fees and instead do 5-way splits into multiple fulfillment centers. This distributes your inventory across 9-12 locations per split, improving delivery speed to customers nationwide and potentially increasing sales by 4-10%. Use a flat-rate freight service to avoid high trucking costs for partial loads.Build a Supply Chain Buffer SystemAlways maintain backup inventory outside of AWD/FBA - whether in your garage, basement, or a 3PL warehouse. This protects you from Amazon delays, lost shipments, or FC transfer bottlenecks. Running out of stock can permanently damage your listing's ranking, so having a contingency plan is essential for protecting your sales velocity.Resources mentioned in this episode:Josh Hadley on LinkedIneComm Breakthrough ConsultingeComm Breakthrough PodcastEmail Josh Hadley: Josh@eCommBreakthrough.comAmazon Global Logistics (AGL)DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)EXW (Ex Works)AWB (Amazon Warehouse and Distribution)FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon)Seller CentralSmart ScoutSeller BoardHelium 10PerplexityTraction by Gino WickmanVistageSpecial Mention(s):Adam “Heist” Runquist on LinkedInKevin King on LinkedInMichael E.

You start off right now. Should I use AWS or not? Is the main factor. Question is the cost right? AWS is actually increasing the rates as of January 1st for West Coast. Now obviously that's going to push more people to East Coast where it takes longer to get there, but they'll get congested there and then they'll raise the rate in East Coast. And then they raise the rates across the board. I believe that's their model.MC 00:00:29 Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough podcast.

FedEx defines a residential surcharge as a shipment addressed to a home or private residence, including locations where business is conducted from home or a shipment where the shipper designates the delivery address as residential. UPS and FedEx charge a higher price for residential addresses. In short, this additional charge is due to the inconvenience of delivering one shipment to a single location, compared to possible multiple deliveries with a commercial address.

Corvus Belli, the Spanish miniature wargame publisher, is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026, marking a significant milestone in the industry. Founded in 2001 by three friends, the company began with 15mm scale historical miniatures before launching the 28mm scale ‘Warcrow’ fantasy models in 2002. Their breakthrough came with the 2005 release of the sci-fi skirmish wargame Infinity, which evolved from a modified Dungeons and Dragons campaign. Infinity is notable for its unique rules, including an “active” and “reactive” turn system that keeps both players engaged, a flexible order system, and the use of D20s instead of D6s. The game has since grown through several editions, expansions, and community support like the official Infinity Army web application. Corvus Belli also launched the Infinity Tournament System in 2010 to support competitive play and has continuously pushed the metaplot forward, including the recent Endsong expansion and the new Next Wave faction released in 2025. The company’s expansion has included collaborations like the Infinity tabletop RPG with Modiphius in 2015 and major board games such as Aristeia (2017), Infinity Defiance (2019), and TAG Raid (2021). Atlas Games co-owner John Nephew announced he is removing all of their products from Amazon’s Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) program due to what he describes as “lousy business partner” practices, including bait and switch promotions and inexplicable storage/shipping fees. To minimize waste and ensure the inventory goes to gamers instead of being destroyed, he is offering to send individual FBA items—including board games, card games like Gloom, the Over the Edge RPG, and accessories—for free to any gamer in the USA. Interested parties can email him their mailing address by the end of January 2026. The Dungeons & Dragons crossover with Fortnite, which has resulted in a new series of five fan-made, D&D-themed islands created by community creators Chartis and Teravision Games. These islands range from a PvP arena and co-op boss fight to the largest co-op roguelike in Fortnite history, featuring D&D locations like the Yawning Portal and legendary characters like Klauth the dragon. The article writer expresses skepticism about the marketing value of the crossover, questioning its appeal to non-D&D fans and suggesting the focus should be on this year’s actual D&D rulebook release schedule instead of guest appearances in video games. Lex Ecclesiastica, a free, unofficial Warhammer 40k narrative TTRPG that centers on the all-female Adepta Sororitas, or Sisters of Battle. The game uses the Resistance Toolbox system, which is “built around struggle,” with players juggling core stats like Body, Faith, Authority, Fortune, and Corruption. The game is praised for giving depth to the Sisters of Battle faction, blending the over-the-top violence of the 40k setting with the somber storytelling required for these dogmatic warriors, and it is available for free download on itch.io. The document also mentions a Humble RPG Bundle: So You Wanna Try Out Call of Cthulhu, which offers over 25 books and game aids for the seminal RPG, with proceeds supporting the World Wildlife Fund. #corvusbelli #atlasgames #fortnite #sistersofbattle Lex Ecclesiastica RPG' https://hipolita.itch.io/lex-ecclesiastica Call of Cthulhu Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/Xmz13G Bob's Humble Bundle: https://humblebundleinc.sjv.io/K0roje Free Guild Ball Starter Set: https://steamforged.com/products/guild-ball-starter-kit Warmachine on MyMiniFactory: https://mmf.io/upturned Mantic Companion App: https://companion.manticgames.com/ Use our Referral code: MCTXEE Support us by Shopping at Miniature Market (afilliate link): https://miniature-market.sjv.io/K0yj7n Support Us by Shopping on DTRPG (afilliate link): https://www.drivethrurpg.com?affiliate_id=2081746 Matt’s DriveThruRPG Publications: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?author=Matthew%20Robinson https://substack.com/@matthewrobinson3 Chris on social media: https://hyvemynd.itch.io/ Jeremy's Links: http://www.abusecartoons.com/ http://www.rcharvey.com Support Us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/upturnedtable Give us a tip on our livestream: https://streamlabs.com/upturnedtabletop/tip Donate or give us a tip on Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/2754JZFW2QZU4 Intro song is “Chips” by KokoroNoMe https://kokoronome.bandcamp.com/

Freedom Through Passive Profits | Start an Etsy Business, Sell Digital Products, Make Passive Income
Everywhere you look online, there's someone shouting at you about their way to make money. “Dropshipping is the answer!” “No, it's Amazon FBA!” “Wait, you need a personal brand!” “Hold on, it's all about POD!” “Start UGC and make the MOST money” Or… just kidding… now you're supposed to be on TikTok every day. Sound familiar? It's no wonder we're overwhelmed, constantly second-guessing ourselves, and chasing the next shiny thing that promises overnight success. But here's the truth: most of those methods actually do work… for someone. The real problem? They might not work for you. In this episode, I'm breaking down shiny object syndrome in business — why it's keeping you stuck and spinning your wheels — and how to finally break free by choosing the lane that actually aligns with your values, lifestyle, and long-term vision. Because you don't need every method. You just need the right one for you. xo, Jacqueline | LEARN FROM ME | Etsy Profits PRO - Course + Coaching Program www.jacqueline-butler.com/etsyprofitspro Canva Crash Course www.jacqueline-butler.com/canva Midjourney Beginner's Guide & 130+ Prompts www.jacqueline-butler.com/midjourney | OTHER STEPS | Join My Email List & Get a FREEBIE! www.jacqueline-butler.com/freeguide FREE 5-Step Starter Guide: www.jacqueline-butler.com/starterguide FREE Facebook Community: www.jacqueline-butler.com/freegroup Website: www.jacqueline-butler.com Get In Touch: jb@jacqueline-butler.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/jacquelinebutler.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jacquelinebutler.co TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@jacquelinebutler.co | MY FAVE RESEARCH TOOLS | eRank https://erank.com?fpr=jackie31 Insight Factory https://insightfactory.app/ Alura https://www.alura.io/?via=jacqueline
Amazon's rules changed—and that's good news if you know how to play the new game. We sat down with Neil Twak, co-founder of Voltage Holdings and Cayman Data, to unpack why algorithm shifts have compressed launch windows to roughly 30 days, how structured data now acts like a prompt into Amazon's Cosmo engine, and why intent beats keywords for ranking and profitable growth. Neil makes a clear case for relaunching weak ASINs over reviving old reviews, and he explains how to train the algorithm with PPC while optimizing for tacos, not ACOS.We dig into pricing strategy and brand defensibility in a world of rising fees and policy risk. The winning move is to build in tier two and tier three price bands—$50 to $500—protect at least $12 per-unit profit, target 40 percent ROI, and turn inventory four times a year. That math lets you buy customers aggressively while maintaining healthy margins. Neil also maps a practical channel sequence: capture demand first on Amazon, Walmart, and TikTok Shop, then graduate to Shopify demand creation when your numbers justify the lift. You'll hear why TikTok's GMV Max ads preview Amazon's future, and how display and DSP can send qualified traffic to your DTC store without breaking terms.Data is the moat. Neil pulls back the curtain on Cayman Data's intelligence engine that identifies the small set of customer needs driving most of Amazon's revenue and greenlights product plays that slot into real demand. The big mindset shift: adopt portfolio thinking, validate fast with structured data and lean bundles, then double down only on the SKUs the market proves. If you're stuck in mid six to low seven figures, the unlock is moving from micro-ops to CEO mode—deploy capital faster, tighten cash cycles, and manage by tacos, ROI, and inventory turns.Ready to future-proof your brand and grow profitably on Amazon in 2026?

#746 If you're still thinking about Amazon FBA as a keyword game, this episode will completely change how you see selling online! In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, Neil Twa returns to break down what “omnichannel” really looks like — and why you shouldn't rush into TikTok Shop, Shopify, Walmart, or retail until your Amazon business is truly incubated and profitable. He shares a three-stage framework (discover, build, optimize) and explains how today's winning sellers think less like “keyword hackers” and more like data scientists — feeding Amazon's AI the right listing data so the engine can match your product to customer intent. Neil also demos how his team uses customer-need driven product research to build SKU pipelines inside proven “nodes,” avoid the low-price commodity trap, and identify higher-margin opportunities — then pairs it all with the capital strategy required to scale without running out of inventory! What we discuss with Neil: + Amazon as an incubation engine + Omnichannel timing matters + Discover, build, optimize framework + Customer need over keywords + AI-driven listing data + SKU depth before scale + IDQ scores and algorithms + High-margin node selection + TikTok halo effect + Capital strategy for scaling Thank you, Neil!

I met him at Kevin King's, $1 Billion Seller summit, and he's going to have a lot of knowledge to share with us. I'm going to dive in like immediately to what was mentioned in your bio. You had your account suspended. You had you ran into 400 K of debt and loans, but you've kind of come out the other end and you're you're crushing it right now on Amazon. So tell me, Brad, what happened with the account suspension?Brad 00:00:33 So I, I was doing, retail arbitrage and I got, I got really into it. it it was actually kind of unique. It started off, where I was, I, I was really into eBay growing up, so I was always selling stuff, just like as a kid throughout the house, whether it was mine or not. I was grabbing, like, antiques from the basement and, like, selling stuff out of the garage. And I think that's where I got kind of, you know, introduced to e-commerce and kind of obsessed so that that kind of was always on the side.Brad 00:01:11 And I was doing that through grade school, high school, and then into college. And I learned about Amazon FBA and I think 2012. and as an eBay guy, it was like blew me away because I was, you know, the guy waiting in line at the, at the post office and having to deal with customers. So the fact that you could just send a bunch of items in and Amazon will ship it and take care of customer service was very appealing to me. So I started, I just started watching videos and the easiest way to start, which I don't know how many people really started out like this, but I'm sure some. But I was going into, you know, odd lots and Walmarts and just buying toys or whatever I could find. And essentially I was just kind of learning that process. so, you know, that was a good way to, like, get my feet wet into Amazon FBA. and then, you know, life kind of happened where that was put off to the side.Brad 00:02:19 I was in the corporate world for a while. not doing very well. I just, was not very passionate about what I was doing, and, I got a call from a buddy. I was living in South Florida. I'm from Ohio originally, and, I got fired from one job. You know, I was working for good companies. They were, like, fortune 500 companies. And I kind of noticed right away that the people that were successful were extremely passionate about the company, and they had just drank the Kool-Aid. And I just did. I just didn't care, really. I thought our products were overpriced, which is not the mentality that you want to have when you're trying to sell something. so I was just kind of, just doing enough not to get fired. And my friend, in Columbus had called me and said, hey, I just bought this epoxy coating company. So what we're doing is we're installing, like, showroom floors in garages. You know, the the garages in Columbus or the Midwest are all cracked and spoiled.Brad 00:03:34 so, you know, this was December and he was like, hey, I can't pay you that much, but, you know, this will be our company. and I'll share profits with you. So I wasn't really doing much. You know, in terms of growing personally or professionally, although I was in South Florida, which was pretty cool for for an Ohio guy. Sure. I took him up on it, and I remember it was December. I go from this cushy sales job in South Florida. Even though I didn't like it. And then all of a sudden, I am installing, garage floors in the suburbs of Columbus. In December, we're using, like, heaters to keep ourselves warm. And the funny thing was, I actually was enjoying it more, because it was ours. So that kind of, like, turned on the light that, you know, the way that I'm going to be successful is if I'm doing something for myself, like, or as a team. And that kind of drew me back to this e-commerce stuff.Brad 00:04:36 and like I was saying, I had learned about, the Amazon FBA and I had a this background in eBay. So I just kind of I remember in one of your podcasts, you were talking about how after work, you would go home and just watch videos. yeah. Because you, you know, you kind of saw that as a way out. But, you know, what you have to do is you have to put in the time. You know, even after a long day of work when most people are just watching TV or they want to decompress. I was just drawn to just scanning eBay, you know, looking at Amazon. And I was like, I was wondering if there was an opportunity for products that I could buy on eBay and flip on Amazon. And I kind of just somehow stumbled upon this, category of high end skincare. And I was noticing that there was these really, like, high end brands that were selling for, you know, almost nothing on eBay because, li...
Scaling a business is slow and unpredictable. Many entrepreneurs don't make it to year five, and even fewer figure out how to scale.But what if the key to unlocking exponential growth was to multiply your efforts through strategic acquisitions?Tom Shipley is the co-founder of Atlantic Coast Brands, founder of Queen City Media, and co-founder of DealCon, one of the fastest-growing M&A ecosystems for entrepreneurs.

How programmatic acquisitions can solve cash flow issues, save struggling companies, and 10x enterprise value faster than organic growth alone.2.) Tom's “Add a Zero” philosophy to think bigger which helps to recruit better talent, attract better capital, and unlock strategic breakthroughs.3.)

You meet people who want freedom. Then you meet someone who refuses a boss so much he reverse-engineers his whole life. After Derek left the Army, he started Amazon FBA with nothing but podcasts, stubborn grit, and a few painful months of trying to "make a penny per ASIN." In this talk, we walk you through his jump from Excel chaos to 45,460 ASINs stored, his real replens, and a system that runs while he sleeps. You'll hear how he fights through IP blocks, bad prep centers, order cancellations, and the mental weight of slow progress. If you ever wondered what happens when someone treats sourcing like a gym routine, delayed gratification like a religion, and three in the morning like normal business hours, this one shows you.
