Part 5/9:

A Shift of Financial Responsibility

One of the most alarming aspects of this policy shift is how Amazon appears to be transferring liability for its operational inefficiencies onto the sellers. It essentially absolves itself of responsibility for inventory loss or mismanagement, placing the burden of these issues squarely on the seller's shoulders. If the policy had been in effect during previous logistical challenges, many sellers could have faced catastrophic financial losses without any recourse to hold Amazon accountable.

Sellers have reported experiences where Amazon lost entire shipments or mismanaged deliveries, leaving them out of stock during peak shopping seasons. These logistical challenges have only worsened, adding to the sense of frustration within the seller community.
