There’s panic and mayhem in the LEGO Amazon reselling world right now, and it got so loud I had to come out of my summer break to talk about it. I’m seeing sellers get hit with messages that basically say: you’ve got 30 days to submit documents or you’re getting shut down, and a lot of listings are getting tagged overnight. The vibe is real—Amazon is easy, it’s been more than half of some people’s income, and now folks are staring at a forced exit and wondering if they have to “refind the hustle” on eBay or somewhere else. In this video I break down the three big bad realities: (1) a lot of people didn’t listen when I said to diversify off Amazon, and now they’re paying for it, (2) it’s happening in July which makes me think it’s wave one and it could get uglier in Q4, and (3) for some sellers, this is the end of the road. Then I give you the silver linings: it’s still July, so you can migrate to Walmart before Q4, and Walmart is in a “honeymoon phase” where they’re hungry for sellers. Also, don’t join the race to the bottom—forced liquidation now can actually create more demand later, especially if you move to a platform where you can control price better. Bottom line: stay steady, read the room, and build plan B, C, and D.
