Hi Bradley, Many thanks for these great insights. I wanted to ask that you normally mentioned many Amazon accounts of yours, but I knew that one person can have only one account for Amazon seller. How do you do it

Just for a better understanding, why does Amazon automatically do this for some cases and not these?

Close the loop-hole is my opinion, it sounds like the professor is using the fear tactic to create fear amongst U.S sellers to argue to ban the loop-hole from closing.

This loophole needs to be closed, and another issue that requires attention is the growing influence of Chinese sellers. There should be regulations imposed on them to prevent them from entering every niche and triggering price wars. These factory sellers create their own accounts and sell at very low prices, disrupting the market. I’m sure almost 80% of sellers on Amazon are affected by this. They sell at such low prices that their factories in China barely make a profit, but by destroying the niche and driving many sellers out, they eventually raise their prices and dominate the market. Amazon itself does something similar by entering all the high-selling niches and initiating the same kind of price war. If this continues, no sellers besides them will remain in the future.

URGENT SELLER ALERT: SEISMIC SHIFT in FBA AHEAD Steven Selikoff, a former global business manager for Microsoft and someone with extension experience sourcing in China (he has lead seller sourcing trips there since 2018) has issued a dire warning to his clients. Your world is about to change dramatically, and not for the better. Many are unaware of the impending shifts or how to respond, but he’s gathered insights through timely connections and direct conversations with industry leaders. A lot of FBA businesses, especially those based on copycat and commodity products, are about to be crushed by low priced factory competition. If you are selling products in Gift, Home, Pets, Décor, Toys, Kitchenware, Office, and Apparel, then your factories can, and will, compete directly against you in the Factory Direct division, and their prices will be the same prices they charge you, or lower, Key Information You Need to Know Recent leaks about Amazon's direct discounts from Chinese factories are just the tip of the iceberg, and some details are incorrect. Steve has known about these plans since February and has been strategizing since then. His insights come from various high-level meetings and discussions: Amazon’s Discount Program: Contrary to rumors, some products in Amazon’s discount program will eventually be distributed from within the U.S., offering 2-day delivery options. New Platforms Emerging: More competitors to Temu, Shein, and Amazon are on the horizon, with some already in beta. These platforms, like Temu, are testing U.S.-based shipping. Walmart’s Strategy: Walmart is actively recruiting Chinese factories to sell directly to U.S. consumers, offering incentives and support, making it no longer a refuge from Chinese competition. Chinese Government Involvement: The Chinese government is encouraging these moves as part of a broader economic strategy.
