I used to deliver at an Amazon warehouse in Pa. One day in July I went there and saw an ambulance. Naturally I asked if something was wrong.

I quit buying anything from Amazon after selling as a small business owner on their marketplace. Their practices were horrible, and hurt very small businesses the most. After spending most of a year getting my online toy shop set up on their marketplace, they notified me in October that I would be shut down from November through mid January due to low sales (but I would be able to sell again after the Christmas season was over). That's the main time for sales of toys! I built a new online store off Amazon in 30 days and never looked back. I've boycotted Amazon ever since.

[@MickeyWilson-ql7zx]

Walmart the same

[@TruthNJustice33]

eBay is the same scam too. eBay, encourage us to offer free shipping. Then, when they take their chunk of the sale, they don't exclude the shipping fee. For instance, if an item sales for $500.00⁉️ They will be charging %14+this and that. Right there, they are taking from us almost $100.00 dollars. Then, if we offer free shipping that can cost around $30.00 with insurance. If our investments in that item was $350.00, we end hardly covering our investments, and 00 profits. In fact, I have lost $ in some of my sales. We, the business owners, are those companies slaves because they pocket in, extremely sick amounts of money from our sales. You got it right ❗ Amazon, gets rich with our hard work. Then, they will consider your sales, like if we got them from free or took it out of the garbage can. They don't consider our $ spend on the investment. Then, they will report all those sales to the tax man, so that the rip off, can keep going.

[@worldobserver3515]

I don't think it was $300 million. What's your source?

[@umu-i-d2785]

We used to sell on Amazon. What Amazon does is this: THey have all the numbers, they know what sells and at what price. Once they know a product is making money, they will highjack the sellers listing by selling the same item through the sellers listing. And since they can buy in huge quantities, they can underbid the original seller. So the seller will be left with boxes and boxes of stock that no one is buying any more. WE lost quite a bit of money and ended up giving away hundreds of items to charity, just so we don't have to look at them any more. Never again

I am an Author and Amazon won't show my books because I refused to give them 55% of my profit and I didn't give them power over my IBSN. I bought my own ISBN. I haven't had a single sale on Amazon. In fact my books don't populate at all unless a person types in the entire and exact title.

[@aron.a]

Hey! Did you optimize your listings? You need to target keywords that are relevant for your products, and actually do the so-called on- & off-page SEO. The competition is stiff and it's getting harder day by day. More and more people are looking for ways to get out of their 9 to 5, and it's hard. I've been helping sellers with their eComm issues, and I'm sure I could help you out. If nothing else, I could point out details on your ASINs, which you might want to look into. Hit me up, if you'd like to give it a go. Cheers!

I experienced the same thing. Though I let Amazon populate an ISBN for me because I have only published it through Amazon. But still, zero sales, and my book doesn't populate in search results unless the exact title is searched for. I have given up on my book. I can't afford to pay publishers.

I sold on Amazon for 14 years. I quit selling a few years back when fees and government regulation drove me out of business.

Running a restaurant or a food truck is the most exhausting and highly unrecommended business to get into. There is so much loss, and it's rare to see businesses like that thrive. Most get into for the passion of food. It's good that you make your food at home. I do too. However, I go to restaurants on the occasion but I know that I'm paying for food I don't want to make at home that they probably make much better than me, the experience and for the good time.

I survived by going entirely wholesale off Amazon and marketing direct to small American mom and pop toy stores. My income shrank but we made up for it by overseas sales to distributors.

Also, the Amazon documentary he is talking about is about 4 months old, less than an hour long and on a youtube channel with less thn 200 subs and less than 10k views (The ad about Public Square has more views than the documentary itself).

I was a driver for amazon for almost a year and i found how terrible the company is first hand. Once in a while they would give us much more deliveries (about an hour or two of extra work) and if we finished in time (by not taking breaks and working very fast and making unsafe deliveries) we would get more deliveries forever. We were encouraged to work as fast as possible and then they made us work even faster, if we don't meet the quota we get replaced.
