At an MDS gathering in New York, sellers vented about margins, yet most have accepted the changes and are diversifying.
AdExchanger describes MDS members gathering in New York and voicing frustration over shrinking margins, the end of credit card ad payments, a payout delay and fuel surcharges. Amazon has not reversed the changes, so most sellers accepted them rather than boycott again, and many are putting more effort into TikTok, Meta, Walmart, Target and their own sites. The piece cites Marketplace Pulse data showing Amazon's third-party seller count falling from 584,000 to 500,000 between January 2025 and March 2026.
It shows where sellers landed after the boycott: most accepted the changes and are putting more effort into other channels.
It's just not fun anymore.
