Summary
When a well-respected voice in the Amazon space drops a data-packed video declaring the Amazon seller is dying, you pay attention. We did. We checked every number. It all holds up.
Then we realized something wild: he wasn't making one video. He was making two. One is a warning for private label sellers. The other? It's basically a recruitment ad for resellers. Hot dogs, stadiums, and the off-ramp nobody's taking. This one's a ride.
Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: "What is a Section 3 Amazon seller audit, and is Amazon actually punishing sellers?" Use coupon code "MISTAKE" to get your first month of services for only $1 with Jeff and his team!

| 0:00.0 | I watched a video this week that made me question everything I thought I knew about Amazon. |
| 0:07.5 | This guy laid out the data and his conclusion is 100% clear that the Amazon seller is dying. |
| 0:14.3 | So fewer new signups coming onto the platform, big brands are taking over, ad costs that would make anyone's eyes water. |
| 0:22.3 | Chinese factories are cutting out the middlemen. And the worst part, every piece of data that's |
| 0:28.3 | mentioned in that video, it checks out. It's accurate. I watched the same video. You sent it to me, |
| 0:33.6 | and I've been seeing other videos that are kind of doom and gloom like this about Amazon in general. |

| 1:00.5 | Of course you were. |
| 1:01.9 | It's actually the strongest case I've seen for reselling since we got into this. |
| 1:06.4 | I agree. |
| 1:07.6 | They were making two videos. |
| 1:09.0 | They just didn't know they were making the video for us. |
| 1:12.8 | Yeah. |
