Amazon released their new FBA fees for 2026.  Keeping up with tradition, Amazon released it in the most confusing way possible. They also claim that their new fees only add 8 cents per unit sold of the average item selling price. This leaves sellers scrambling to calculate how their products and profit margins will be affected.  Luckily, Dave is breaking down these fees on a per size category level and how these will affect you as a seller, whether you sell small or oversized items.  Dave also breaks down the pricing increases for their different programs, namely Amazon's bulk storage program AWD and Multi Channel Fulfillment.  Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction to Amazon's FBA Fee Increases 02:53 - The Impact of FBA Fee Changes 05:49 - Analyzing Fee Increases by Product Category 08:54 - The Effect on Bulky Items and Packaging 11:49 - Placement Fees and Their Implications 14:50 - Additional Fee Categories and Inbound Defects 17:50 - Conclusion and Future Considerations As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, leave a comment down below if you're interested.

There have been reports of a significant decline in the number of Chinese sellers on Amazon, according to SellerSnooper and Marketplace Pulse, but their disappearance is not that simple. Dave dives into why Chinese sellers are disappearing from Amazon and where they went. Today's episode is sponsored by Sellerboard.

Just go to sellerboard.com/ecomcrew and get clarity on your margins today. Back in 2022, we did a report on how many Chinese sellers there are on Amazon. The number was up  to 55%.  Granted that this was back in 2022, you'd expect the number of Chinese Sellers to increase.  As of October 2025, the number has drastically lowered to ~30%.  This would normally be cause for celebration but the answer isn't that simple.  A lot of Chinese sellers have been opening up US LLCs to dodge paying taxes in China, where they aren't as lenient with counting expenses against your business.  Timestamps 00:00 - The Decline of Chinese Sellers on Amazon 02:42 - Tax Regulations and Their Impact 05:54 - The Golden Tax System in China 09:03 - Panic Among Chinese Sellers 11:53 - The Shift to US LLCs 14:54 - The Reality of Seller Statistics As always, if you have any questions or anything that you need help with, leave a comment down below if you're interested.

Importing from China, even with Trump Tariffs 2.0, may still be viable today and in the near future.  Today, it still is the best option compared to the other rising manufacturing companies like Vietnam, India, and Thailand.  Compared to America, manufacturing in China is still the best option even factoring in the transit costs and 3PL costs.  However, in the far future, China might not be the country to manufacture from.  We're holding a special Importing from China webinar on October 8th where we'll be talking about how you can find products that still make sense to source only in China (and skip the ones that don't) while getting the lowest tariff rates and more!

Dave discusses the recent SEC allegations against Tai Lopez, who is accused of running a Ponzi scheme through his acquisition of legacy retail brands. He dives into the details of the accusations, the flaws in Lopez's business model, and comparisons to other entrepreneurs like Alex Hormozi. What happens to Tai Lopez now?

Send us a textAmazon has launched a new profit analytics dashboard inside seller economics. It gives sellers detailed reporting on fulfillment costs, fees, advertising spend, and storage.
