Ep.90 How to Be Compliant with Amazon as an FBA Seller

Welcome to the Sprint to Profit Podcast for Amazon Sellers. Today we wanted to bring up some of the struggles Amazon sellers have been facing in dealing with compliance. Not to mention, what is now expected of sellers versus what they may have thought they could do in previous years (as of November 2021). We are going to be speaking about how to stay compliant with Amazon, what you should do as a seller, and when you need to do it.

We are not telling you all this to scare you. We want to make sure you are protected and staying on the right side of both Amazon’s policies and actual laws. If you do things right, you have a lot less to worry about.

We want to emphasize that these are compliance rules that are in effect in November of 2021. Amazon is constantly changing their policies so if you’re listening to this, far into the future, the Amazon ecosystem could look a lot different.
