Mike and Dave reflect on 2022 as ecommerce entrepreneurs, including their biggest wins, failures, and general outlook moving forward.
2022 was a year of successes and challenges for ecommerce sellers—the industry is literally shifting right beneath our feet!
In this episode, Dave and I will take a closer look at how 2022 has been for us as ecommerce sellers, what with all that’s going on between the market coming out of the pandemic, changing administrations, and Amazon’s constantly changing policies.
We’ll be breaking down some of our biggest wins, including raising our traffic on all properties, as well as our biggest challenges, such as nightmares on the logistics front. We’ll also touch on the biggest complexities that we faced as entrepreneurs to give you an idea how to sort them out for your own business.

Mike and Ben go over EcomCrew’s Amazon ToS Handbook to answer some burning questions you might have as an ecommerce seller.
Being an Amazon seller is tough, and the fact that Amazon rarely ever gives categorical answers to sellers’ questions does not make it easier. Matter of fact, Amazon’s selling terms of service are almost always either vague, elusive, or downright contradictory.
This is why we crafted EcomCrew’s Unofficial Guide to Amazon ToS, where you can find the answers to all your burning questions as a seller all in one place.
In this Back to Basics session, Ben and I will go through the handbook to give you a clear idea of what you can and cannot do on Amazon..
