How I'm adapting to the gating situation on Amazon: It's a weird one mostly because of who they chose to regate Typically when brands go hard gated they at least give people a few weeks to sell out and it's across the board, no one can sell it This time some of the biggest sellers got kicked off while random small sellers are still on the listings Most of us expected the big clothing brands to drop off at some point after closing off new sellers but the way they did this doesn't make much sense If it's not intentional, do everything you can to amplify the voices of people who are affected Personally I will be much more aggressively shifting to midsize brands and boring niches that haven't been hit nearly as hard I'm also gonna be squeezing the opportunity on Walmart and other marketplaces for these brands, building up some backup income there No one said running a biz was going to be easy, but hopefully we can get some clarity from Amazon on what is going on so we can more confidently invest in our biz Hoping for the best for all of us, but encouraging sellers to stock up on inventory for the holidays and trapping people with the bill should be criminal Give us some info here @AmazonHelp @ajassy @dharmeshmehta @JeffBezos @amznsellerhelp @FTC
