Most Amazon and e-commerce sellers don't realize it yet — but the new 2025 Trump tariffs are already reshaping the marketplace.
In this video, I break down the real financial consequences for private label brands, wholesalers, and arbitrage resellers. Using fresh data from Threecolts and Marketplace Pulse, we'll look at:
✅ How 2018 tariffs impacted sellers
✅ What today's tariffs mean for your business
✅ The opportunities (and risks) ahead for different seller types
I'm staying politically neutral — focusing only on facts, data, and actionable insights you can use to protect and grow your business.
