| | Amazon Adds Another Fee - This Time a “Temporary” Fuel Surcharge.
Amazon has announced a new 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge on fulfillment fees, citing ongoing increases in transportation and operating costs. While the company says it has absorbed these costs up until now, this move shifts more of that burden directly onto sellers. msn.com

| Amazon is holding sellers' money hostage.
DD+7 Amazon payout policy timing has been a moving target for sellers, but concern is mounting with the expanded enforcement of the DD+7 reserve policy, set to take effect across European accounts by September 2025 and U.S. accounts by March 2026. Under DD+7, Amazon holds seller funds for seven days after the customer’s delivery date before releasing them for disbursement. For many third-party sellers, that week-long delay can feel like an eternity when payroll, inventory restocks, an d advertising costs depend on predictable cash flow. riverbendconsulting.com

Amazon detail pages with videos added showed a 23.8% increase in sales compared to those without a video.
Amazon is quietly pushing brands toward social-first commerce. UGC videos aren’t a “nice to have” anymore, they’re becoming table stakes for conversion, ranking, and Creator Connections. Videos give shoppers the confidence they need to click Add to Cart. When shoppers can see your product in action, understand how it works, and visualize it in their own lives, they're far more likely to make a purchase. Get videos at just $79/video. amazonrankpro.com

| | | Amazon ends FBA commingling on March 31 - what really changes for sellers.

| | | Amazon Quietly Changed the Rules on Ad Payments. Most Brands Didn’t Notice.
Amazon has started rolling out new rules tied to credit card usage, impacting profit margins starting as early as April 15th, and not every brand got the alert. That alone should raise a red flag.

We surveyed 181 marketplace sellers representing over $2 billion in combined annual revenue.
Only 23% of marketplace sellers are thriving — simultaneously growing revenue and improving margins. Another 31% are grinding: revenue is up, but margins are flat or declining, putting them on a potentially unsustainable treadmill. And 38% are distressed, with, at best, no growth in sight. At worst, both revenue and margins are heading in the wrong direction. marketplacepulse.com | | |
| The 2026 eCom Trends Report | The Rules Are Changing.
This is our sixth Trends Report with 300 owners representing $3.5 billion in combined revenue participating. A huge thank you to members of the eComFuel Community and the Operators Network for participating and promoting. Something in this report always changes how I think. I’ve spent years side-eyeing heavy paid traffic dependency, convinced it was a margin trap. This year’s data changed my mind. My hope is something in here challenges your thinking, too. ecommercefuel.com | | |
