Amazon sellers, brace yourself.

The game is changing fast—and not in our favor.

In this video, I reveal 3 major challenges every Amazon seller needs to know about in 2025:

1️⃣ Gating Restrictions tightening (even on seasoned sellers).

2️⃣ A broken reimbursement system that's costing sellers profits.

3️⃣ The return of restock limits—and how it's squeezing your ability to scale.

These aren’t just rumors—they’re the REAL issues I’m facing in my own business, after selling $7M+ on Amazon since 2015. And while there’s no magic fix, I’ll share practical strategies that can help you adapt and stay in the game.

👉 Whether you're just starting out or you've been selling for years, knowing how to pivot NOW could be the key to surviving (and thriving) on Amazon's ever-changing landscape.

Comment below: What challenge are YOU facing right now? Let’s discuss solutions together.

Want to break through your Amazon plateau?

If you’ve been stuck with slow sales, stale inventory, and cash flow issues in your Amazon FBA business… this video is your roadmap out.

In this video, I share the exact mindset shift, strategy, and inventory system you need to unlock profits faster and start growing again — even if you’re starting small or struggling with stagnant sales.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
