""We're running out of f---ing margin," said Michael Patron, who runs an eight-figure Amazon business and frequently criticizes the company's policies on his X account. "I think that's why it keeps getting more and more frustrating.""
""Sellers have complained for years, but this feels different," MDS co-founder Eugene Khayman said in a post on X about the boycott. "The reason is simple: this is no longer just about irritation. It is about cash extraction.""
Amazon sellers, who represent over 60% of sales on the platform, are struggling due to high tariffs and rising energy costs from the Iran war. Recent policy changes by Amazon, including a 3.5% fuel surcharge and altered payment methods for advertising, have further strained sellers' margins. Many sellers, including those from the Million Dollar Sellers community, are protesting these changes through a 24-hour advertising boycott, expressing that the situation has escalated from irritation to a serious threat to their financial viability.
