That’s a legitimate assessment, considering the platform attracts over three billion monthly users and generates $1.59 billion in daily sales. However, the eCommerce marketplace also comes with risks; in 2023 alone, Amazon found, seized, and discarded over seven million counterfeit items. As the counterfeiting problem continues to grow, Amazon has rolled out several programs and tools to help tackle fraud and give brands more control over their listings. This article explores one such initiative, the Amazon Transparency program. It’ll explain what it is, how it works, and how it can...

Have you heard about the failed Cherry Express run? Chile shipped about $60 to $130 million worth of cherries to China, but the shipment was delayed in the Pacific Ocean and arrived 28 days late. Even though the cherries were kept cold the entire time, many of them still spoiled and were rejected once they got there. Thankfully, some of the cargo was still in good enough condition to be salvaged, giving Chilean exporters at least a little room to negotiate. Now, imagine if there were no cold chain system in place at all. Sure, the loss was already massive, but...

If you’re importing goods and selling on Amazon or your own DTC site, drayage isn’t just another logistics term — it’s your first mile of fulfillment. When your containers arrive at U.S. ports, the clock starts ticking. Delays mean detention fees. Confusion means inventory bottlenecks. Drayage is the short-distance movement of cargo — from port to warehouse — and if it’s not fast, clean, and compliant, your entire supply chain suffers. That’s where MyFBAPrep comes in. What Is Drayage, Exactly? Drayage is the short-haul transport of shipping containers from ports and rail yards to their next stop: a prep facility, 3PL...

On June 29, 2025, Amazon quietly recalibrated its Seller-Fulfilled Prime (SFP) and Priority Shipping Options (PSO). If you’re not ready to adapt at speed, your margins are already under pressure. What Just Changed—and Why It Matters 1. Streamlined Trial Management Amazon isn’t messing around with sluggish onboarding or vague probation periods anymore. SFP trial rules are tightened—and it’s zero tolerance for underperformers. If your system isn’t built for scale, Amazon won’t wait for you to catch up. 2. Raised Performance Bars for Active SFP Sellers The baseline performance you ran with is being reset. Amazon is ramping up expectations—this isn’t just...

Let’s face it: returns are part of the eCommerce game. And while they’re expected, they can also be expensive. From shipping fees to added operational workload, returns quickly add up. For brands, every return is a moment that can impact customer satisfaction, retention, and overall business health. That’s why eCommerce returns management has become a key focus for brands looking to stay competitive. A solid reverse logistics strategy through a third-party logistics (3PL) provider can help improve product quality, streamline operations, and create a smoother experience for both businesses and customers. So, let’s explore the most common reasons behind returns and...

Amazon’s handing down a seismic shift—from September 2 to November 30, 2025, deprecated variation themes are being purged from seller templates. Themes flagged “Deprecated: Do Not Use” will block edits to pricing, titles, bullets, and keywords while remaining live (just untouchable). You’ll see the error: “the value specified is invalid.” Why This Matters for FBA Prep You’re not just moving boxes—you’re architecting scalable operations. Variation themes peeling out under Q4 pressure means no redesigns in October, no fixes during peak season. It’s a vulnerability that cripples both listing agility and customer visibility. What Sellers Are Saying From Seller Forums, the sentiment...
