PSA: Amazon has become a dumping ground for cheap Chinese crap
craigb replied to bitflipper's topic in The Coffee House
I can confirm that one thing Amazon does is this: Once they see that something is selling well, they have China make it for them then they undercut everyone's price. Many people don't realize that the seller they're seeing is one of many for that product (yes, you can check out the other sellers if you see that link). To get the coveted "Buy Box" however you have to be the lowest price. Additionally, once a listing has been hijacked, you CANNOT advertise to get rid of your now stale inventory because... wait for it... AMAZON ONLY LETS THE LOWEST PRICE SELLER ADVERTISE!!! ??? There are many other reasons to NOT work with Amazon, but I was trying to avoid the painful memories. -

These are the two I use often. Although the video portions are nice, I usually have them playing in the background when I need to work early in the morning or while a client is over and were reviewing things. https://www.youtube.com/@Nocturnes_Art https://www.youtube.com/@enjoylifeandloveyourself

As someone who used to be a third-party seller on Amazon (along with my business partner), I can tell you that all the rumors you hear about Amazon are not completely accurate. They are actually far worse than you hear about! I can give many reasons, but I don't want to make myself angry again. Our final straw was when they basically stole $16,000 worth of inventory from us. Enough said for now! ? -
