Why Amazon Sellers Are Leaving

The short version

Good sellers did not suddenly forget how to sell. The platform got harder. Payment holds choke cash flow, organic sales turned into pay-to-play ads, you cannot own or contact your customer, prices get locked, and accounts can be suspended without warning. Any one of these hurts. Together they pushed a lot of capable sellers to the sidelines. This section names each one plainly, so you can decide what to do about it.
