Yesterday, I went to La Roca Village, an outlet shopping destination located 40 minutes outside of Barcelona. I went there 2 years ago and spent more than I planned because of all the crazy deals available, so I was expecting to have the same experience this year. Unfortunately, I ended…

Managing Amazon accounts and running my own Amazon account have easily taken over my life especially during this time of the year. If I keep doing this, burnout is just around the corner waiting for me to breakdown. So for today, I am making a conscious effort not to open…

Today I got hit with another charge as an Amazon seller–the long-term storage fee or also known as aged inventory surcharge. I thought they only start charging this once FBA inventory is stored for 270 days and more but I couldn’t be more wrong. The aged inventory surcharge is charged…

Early this year, just before I launched my first product, I hit a major roadblock. I received an email from Amazon Seller team informing me that my account has been deactivated. It was both surprising and stressful, as I had no idea what could have caused it. I immediately called…

I saw a video on Instragram–a guy explaining this Amazon and Temu shipping loophole that you can take advantage as a shopper. Amazon is the go-to online marketplace mainly because of its reputation of offering a 2-day or even same-day delivery to customers. Customers are known to be impatient so…
