xchefhatx | 8 years ago | on: Amazon's new refunds policy will 'crush' small businesses, outraged sellers say

Last year I made a little over $500k GROSS selling games on Amazon. This policy change is going to be a nightmare because fraud and bootlegging are rampant on their platform.

Small businesses and large ones too are being forced to become sharecroppers for Amazon if they want to stay in business.

At some point we have to stop using "the wife" as an excuse. I can't tell you how many times a friend has used "the wife" as an excuse for...

not starting a project, not finishing a project, not learning something new, not starting a lifestyle business, not investing, not changing their career, not leaving a sucky job

It's not the wife, it's you.

Gross.

I have a card game business that's aimed towards women, PoCs & the lgbtq community - groups who aren't traditionally served.

Every couple of weeks I ship product to an Amazon warehouse and do a bit of advertising on Facebook. It brings in around $40k/mo and 3-4x during the holiday season.
