Summary
"If I were in charge I'd make some big changes."
You don't have to look far to find plenty of ideas from sellers on the topic of "how to make Amazon selling better", but we have to keep in mind that Amazon has multiple parties to keep in mind!
There's the shopper (they are first ultimately and rightfully so)
Then there's Amazon's own best interest (profitability, risk management, shareholders etc)
...and then there's the seller last but no least!
I for one am so grateful for the Amazon reseller opportunity -it's provided incredibly consistent opportunities for 10s of thousands of families including my own and the future is very bright, but...
Of all the ideas for improvement that are swirling around, I think I've found three that are great (with no downsides) for ALL THREE parties!
The ideas are:
- Eliminate the suppressed buy boxes
- Show shoppers the fastest delivery option on ASINs with many sellers
- Show sellers more data in regards to understocked shelf space in the warehouse network
- Today's episode unpacks these ideas.
If you're ready to get on the path to building a great business online, it's time to get into the ProvenAmazonCourse.com training!

| 0:06.4 | I'm your host today. |
| 0:07.7 | Jim Cockram, it's just you and me hanging out. |
| 0:09.8 | I've got some content today. |
| 0:11.5 | I'm kind of talking to Amazon, the company, but you're allowed to come along for the ride. |
| 0:17.4 | It's a look inside of some of the things that I think are just so obvious that Amazon |
| 0:22.5 | should be doing that would make life so much easier for us as sellers, make our businesses |
| 0:29.3 | so much more profitable, but that's not the point of Amazon, is it? No, the point of Amazon |
| 0:35.6 | is to also serve their customers very well and to make a |
| 0:39.1 | profit as a company, right? Well, the suggestions I have do all three. And I think they're very smart |
| 0:47.0 | decisions that could be made by Amazon as a company. And the nice thing about all of them is they |
| 0:52.7 | really wouldn't cost anything, very little. |
| 0:55.9 | These are decisions that could be made in a day, a switch that could be flipped. So I think there are |
| 1:00.8 | some very valuable ideas that deserve some attention. And I thought since I've got this |
| 1:06.7 | voice in the industry, since we've got this platform, Hey, why not send a shot over the bell? |
| 1:13.7 | Hey, Amazon, if anyone's listening, flip these switches so you can make more money. |
| 1:20.2 | So your customers, your shoppers will be happier. And the sellers, those of us who keep the shelves |
| 1:26.6 | filled at your hundreds of warehouses, |
| 1:29.1 | well, we'll be making more money too, building our businesses right alongside of Amazon, |
| 1:34.8 | serving the customers together. |
