Starting 04-15, AZ US FBA is charging/showing placement fees to move your inventory around.
Is this a new fee, or just one that was buried and you had to look for it.
Running 20-50 cents per standard unit (adds up in a hurry).
Or is this AZ helping us???
Hey I made a funny! AZ and helping us in the same sentence.

PhD | Why are you leaving if you're doing well on AZ?
It's already difficult to build something on that platform so I think it'd be a waste if you just leave

By the end of next year, should have 1.4-1.5M for retirement.
Time to enjoy the last 1/3 of life. Will be volunteering F/T with a good friends disaster aid relief NGO (already doing part time with them) and do some travelling.
That's the plan, anyways. Time will tell, but should fall into place by end of 2025.

if you have a profitable business just keep it running on lower effort and volume
amazon have become nasty with more and more additional rules and expenses but a good business should not be shut down unless it is shut down by amazon

Since we sell other people's sh!t (brand names), it won't be too hard.

Good to see a fellow veteran crossing the finish line. I have about 14 years here, started in the depths of the recession. Made some good money, but burned most of it on bad investments unfortunately...
