Ep 209 - Ask the Dinosaurs: Amazon Seller Reddit Is a Cry for Help and We Are Here

The Ecommosaurus crew goes spelunking through Amazon seller Reddit and finds exactly what you would expect: genuine frustration, cautionary tales, a few great questions, and at least one post about somebody's mom getting scammed out of thousands of dollars. The crew works through the threads, from whether FBA is still worth it in 2026 to the four mistakes killing people's ad spend. They also weigh in on the mom situation, which is as sad as it sounds and raises real questions about the Amazon automation business model. Some of the Reddit takes are smart. Some are classic seller cope. The crew calls both out, answers the questions the threads could not, and reminds everyone that the problems sellers are venting about online are usually the same problems that have always existed. They just have a new audience now. This podcast is sponsored by 50-Pound Boson, an ecommerce marketing agency that aims to help small to medium–sized brand owners grow their ecommerce sales channels.
