Amazon vs. Walmart

​

I’ve seen tons of sellers ditch Amazon completely in favor of Walmart in 2025.

​
Which begs the question:

​
​Which is the better platform for third party sellers in 2025?

​

I give my honest thoughts in this week's podcast episode featuring Walmart expert Noah Mincis.

My Biggest Amazon Hack

​

I call it the YoYo Repricing Strategy.

​

It helps me make multiple extra sales per day at my max price.

​

Step 1) Raise your price to your max every 3 hours

Step 2) Hold it there for 20 minutes

Step 3) Revert to regular repricing

​

Like a YoYo, your repricer should constantly be raising your price to your max to help you squeak out extra high-profit sales.

​

I made a full (1+ hour) Repricing Masterclass video covering this strategy in detail plus 7 additional strategies.

Chinese Products Are Getting More Expensive

​

According to this article, median prices of China-origin goods on Amazon US grew 2.6% January–mid‑June, outpacing the 1% growth in core CPI.

​

The main categories affected:

​

• Electronics

• Home goods

• School supplies

​

My take: Amazon sellers importing from China are feeling the squeeze.

​

While this mainly affects private label sellers, arbitrage sellers gearing up for the back to school rush will also be negatively impacted.

Amazon Leverages AI To Cut Jobs

​

In a recent interview, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy emphasized that AI-driven automation will result in fewer employees while boosting efficiency for the ones who remain.

​

He claims AI will help free workers from mundane tasks, focusing on higher-impact roles.

​

Jassy said the company aims to evolve workforce composition rather than expand headcount.

​

My take: Amazon is betting big on AI. Not just for efficiency, but for reshaping its entire workforce.

​

For sellers, this is a warning and an opportunity: if you’re not finding ways to leverage AI in your ops, you’re already behind.

​

​

That's it for this week!
