Avoiding Account Shutdowns: Proactive Support Strategies for Amazon Sellers With John Cavendish [Ep.184]

The rules of selling on Amazon have changed, and sellers who don't adapt are paying the price in time, revenue, and sometimes, their entire account.

In this episode, we're joined by John Cavendish, the founder of Seller Candy, an agency that deals with Seller Support on behalf of Amazon sellers.

We dive into what's really going wrong behind the scenes of Amazon businesses with someone who sees it all from the inside. From shifting product launch strategies to the overlooked support issues that sabotage sellers, we uncover the patterns that can quietly erode your success.
