WHAT’S NEW ON AMAZON 2019

Every year Amazon changes things, a lot of things. While we love to sell on Amazon sometimes their abrupt changes are very unwelcome. If we know anything about Amazon it is that they are always changing. Most of the time it is for the good of our business and other times it is a royal pain! Either way, we want you to be in the know about the newest changes Amazon has been making and how they will affect your business.

Amazon is continually changing, and new rules are frequently introduced. As business owners, you know that the only thing that is consistent in business is change. Many of the changes happen because new technology is introduced, but changes also occur because of the changing habits, wants and desires of our customers. As an Amazon seller, you must comply with the new rules that have been introduced, and there are sure to be more rule changes throughout 2019.

In this episode we discuss what’s new on Amazon in 2019. We explain many of the new rules that you need to be aware of such as how Amazon is using transparency codes to spot counterfeit items. We also share new information on how GTIN exemption, nexus standards, changes to sales tax, restricted brands, and California Prop 65 warnings will affect your business’s procedures and explain what you should do if you encounter Amazon’s Restricted Products Policy Violations.
