Trade War With China Hits Small Amazon Sellers

The trade war between The US and China is affecting Amazon sellers. It’s even gotten to the point where finding suppliers outside of China and manufacturing outside that country are being suggested as possible solutions by Jungle Scout, a small company dedicated to helping entrepreneurs run their Amazon businesses. Small Business Trends got a first-hand account of the small business’ issues involved from Shane Stinemetz, Vice President of Operations at Jungle Scout. Stinemetz is also a Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) seller. “I’ve been selling on Amazon for 3.5 years with the sole intention of building up a healthy, automated business that only requires a few hours of management per week,” he wrote in an email. “My business generates ~$90k net profit per year.”
