Amazon Weekly Digest: Week of February 5

Amazon Weekly Digest: Week Of January 29

This is your host, The Badger, providing you with the top Amazon news stories this week. Welcome to Amazon Weekly Digest!

This week, Twitter announced a profit for the first time, the Philadelphia Eagles won the Superbowl, SpaceX successfully launches a rocket, and an angry Amazon seller gets pitched a new counterfeit prevention service.

Holly MacLean of Wee Urban almost took her inventory off Amazon until they proposed she join a counterfeit effort to clean up Amazon’s marketplace and install law and order.

The law will reign upon the Amazon marketplace. In other news, the Cavaliers were cleaned out this week right before the NBA trade deadline.

Her frustration was that Wee Urban had too many impostors and her sales plunged 80% in 2017. She was promised help by Amazon under a new program named Transparency. Since then, her Amazon account has spiraled out of control and other sellers have been making money off her brand. Now, she’s hired a lawyer to take on the eCommerce giant.
