What are the big trends in Amazon seller policies and enforcement?
On today's all new episode we spend some time diving into the latest news in the world of Amazon seller suspensions, policy enforcement and trends that all sellers should know about. It's a sit down chat with Jeff Schick (JeffSchick.com) - the most popular Amazon/Walmart seller policy expert and lawyer in our seller community.
Among other things we talk about
Bundles
Section 3 reviews
Proper sourcing
BOI report (what's that?! You need to know)
There's plenty of good news - Amazon is becoming increasingly predictable and seems to "get it right" in the end more and more often when it comes to policy enforcement for sellers!
Having a healthy selling account has never been a more valuable asset than it is now, and as under-informed or sellers of bad intent continue to unknowingly violate simple policies, the future looks very bright for well informed sellers who follow the rules!
If you'd like to learn to do Amazon the RIGHT WAY follow the path we've laid out in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com !
At the end of today's episode we also hear a Walmart seller success story that will inspire you! We also talk about automating the repricing of your Walmart inventory with Flash Pricer SilentJim.com/flash

Today's guest Jeff Schick
In this episode of Silent Sales Machine Radio, co-hosts Brian and Robin Joy share a crucial message for new and aspiring entrepreneurs in the replenishable business space: focus on sourcing. They explain why mastering sourcing in the first 8–12 weeks—or through your first 8–12 shipments—will set you apart from 99.9% of others starting the same journey.
From understanding the importance of testing ASINs to overcoming the hurdles of early-stage inefficiencies, Brian and Robin provide actionable insights and motivational guidance. They discuss the challenges of incremental progress, the importance of embracing the learning curve, and why staying laser-focused on sourcing early is key to long-term success.
The discussion dives into strategies for scaling, introducing tools and automation to make your business more efficient once you’ve mastered the fundamentals.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your approach, this conversation is packed with valuable tips to help you stay on track and grow your business.
Our special guest and legal advisor at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses the supply chain. He gives us the red flags to look for to make sure that your supply source is legitimate and authorized wholesale companies. We give a super helpful tip near the end which cuts through many of the steps to find products without going through the wholesaler.

Today's guest Jesse McDermott
After having coached nearly 10,000 students over 20 years in our ProvenAmazonCourse.com programs, we've noticed some distinct patterns.
Would you like to know what I've noticed about those who find success vs. those who don't?
I'd estimate that I could diagnose your level of success just by asking you a few personal questions that have nothing to do with business or success.
Questions like:
"When you face a challenge do you tend to complain publicly about it?"
"What are you daily and weekly good habits?"
"How do you feel about meeting new people?"
The answers to those questions have a lot more to do with business success than you might realize! Let's talk about it!

Join them as they explore what it truly takes to turn skepticism into success.
Our special guest and legal advisor at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com discusses returns and seller's reimbursements. It's likely that you have money owed to you as a seller and Jeff tells us how to go about getting those funds.

We've easily seen 50 or more major changes for Amazon sellers over the 14+ years we've been selling on Amazon and teaching Amazon selling strategies.

In light of the new challenges, what new advice do we have for sellers both new and experienced?
Is the opportunity on Amazon still viable for sellers?
Does the future look bright or are there shifts coming?
What are the big indicators that tell the whole story?
How much concern should we have about all of this?
Good news - we are seeing plenty of great signs, but let's discuss it!
