Amazon Buy Box: FBA aggregators are taking more share. here's what to watch
Buy Box rotation is getting noisier as larger FBA aggregators expand. If you sell on Amazon, the trigger to watch isn't competitor price. it's seller-count change on your listings. The Pricing module now flags rotation events so you can react before margin slips.

Read the MAP write-up
MAP enforcement is back on the rise. brands pulling resellers more aggressively
We're seeing a clear uptick in brand-side MAP enforcement across home, pet, and outdoor categories. Resellers who breach pricing floors are getting cut off faster, with documented violations now expected at the dispute stage. Operators who carry brand SKUs should be ready with timestamped, screenshot-backed evidence.

Q1 fee creep: marketplace take-rates inched up across Amazon, Walmart, Etsy, TikTok Shop
Channel fees crept higher again this quarter. small individually, meaningful in aggregate. If you've been pricing off the same per-SKU contribution model since last year, your margin floor has moved without you. Re-baseline your platform-fee assumptions before your next reprice.

Shopify dynamic-pricing tooling: what changes for D2C operators
Native dynamic-pricing surfaces inside Shopify keep expanding, which is good news for D2C operators. and a forcing function. The brands that win the next 12 months will be the ones who pair Shopify's surface with off-platform competitor signal, not the ones who run rule-based pricing in a vacuum.

Buy Box rotation patterns we're seeing across pet, home, and electronics
Three categories with very different rotation signatures. Pet: slow, predictable, brand-led. Home: chaotic, reseller-heavy, MAP-violation prone. Electronics: fast, FBA-aggregator dominated, sub-hour cycles. The repricing strategy that wins one of these can lose the other two.
