In this Back Talk Live session, Steve opens with an article reporting Amazon marketplace sellers averaged $160,000 in annual sales, up 60% year over year, and unpacks what that means for Amazon's defense against antitrust scrutiny.
He then takes live audience questions, including a detailed back-and-forth with a toys seller weighing whether to build an FBM backup plan given FBA check-in delays heading into Q4, and talks through why he thinks Amazon's throughput, not the carriers, is the real bottleneck.
A good listen for sellers who remember navigating that particular stretch of pandemic-era uncertainty.
