NurseGotlotsAbody (@outerspirit) reported@amazon I still haven’t received the promised refund for sending back a table that was broken when I received it. I paid $250 to send the table to CA per Amazon’s instructions. What do I have to do more to get my refund?!
-
Rekha Shekhawat (@RekhaSh84581912) reported@amazon a new scam by Amazon where the address is correct and the delivery person insists that it’s your order & gives a broken item insisting to pay. I called at customer care &they refused to help

Alexander Brueck (@Brueck1988) reported@curious_founder @curious_founder @grok Is it policy or the fact that gas turbines are sold out into the 2030s that made Amazon pursue solar? Is this is an example of AI datacenters driving record investment into renewables battery storage which will help drive prices down and accelerate adoption?

haitham (@theonlyhaitham) reportedOn Amazon, ad budget is the fifth lever. Almost everyone reaches for it first. The order that actually works: Margin, before you spend a cent. Size tier, box dimensions, cost of goods, pack size, price. Everything you win here is permanent and costs nothing to keep. Then kill the spend that converts nothing. Not trim it. Kill it. Then fix conversion, because it is the only thing that lowers your ad cost permanently instead of for a week. Then repeat purchase, which is revenue with no ad cost attached to it. Only then scale spend, and never past the point where the channel stops paying for itself. Brands that start at step five just buy a bigger version of the problem they already had.

Smith Wills (@_Smithleee) reported@AmazonHelp my account was terminated I can’t login again I have $76 balance inside, I called customer service but all to no avail Can I get back my $76 or not??

Proflex Finance (@ProflexFinance) reportedWhat would break this read. Demand, not supply. Cover ratios on hyperscaler deals have fallen from nearly 5x in February to below 2x in July. Amazon's March sale was 3.4x covered. Its July sale, 1.6x. If books rebuild above 3x, the crowding-out case weakens fast, because it means the duration bid is deeper than this year's price action suggests. Amazon has already said it will not issue more debt in 2026. If the other four follow and Goldman's $400bn for 2027 gets marked down, this reverts to a credit story and stops being a rates story. #Bonds #Rates

Dan (@doja_dan) reportedYour time is precious and there are some good nuggets in here for you to check out. Timestamps below so you can skip straight to what you need: Detailed Timestamps 00:00 - Ditching YouTube Polish for Live X Streams Why spending weeks polishing YouTube content is dead compared to streaming live straight to builders on X. Testing StreamYard live video setup and chat integration. 01:30 - Live Delay Test: FaceTiming Izzy Calling Izzy live on FaceTime to measure real-time stream latency (5–6 second delay). Chatting about Lost Village festival and feeling like a boomer trying out live streaming tools. 04:30 - The £2M Amazon FBA Trap (The 7% Net Profit Reality) Turning over £1.5M–£2M by age 23 running an Amazon FBA arbitrage business across Europe. Why revenue is pure vanity: after taxes, goods, shipping, and fees, the actual net profit was a painful 7%. 06:15 - The £200k Manchester Warehouse & Finding Our Skillset Taking out a £200k lease on a 5,000 sq ft warehouse in Manchester to scale logistics. Scaling to £40k/month and realizing our real edge wasn't logistics—it was configuring internal tech stacks, CRMs, and offshore teams. 08:30 - Why Traditional Business Owners SUCK at Tech Why traditional service business owners come from corporate backgrounds and lack basic tech literacy. How my co-founder Ollie (head down in code) and I realized we could out-tech traditional incumbents. 10:30 - The $9.99/mo B2C SaaS Trap & Trend-Chasing Why building $9.99/mo B2C apps is a nightmare: 30% App Store cut, high ad costs (CAC), taxes, and instant clone competitors. Why chasing short-lived X trends (like bidding apps or bubble animations) fails long-term compared to B2B. 12:40 - Getting Offered £1 for Our Business & The Shift to Consulting The story of an industry incumbent taking us through a long acquisition cycle only to offer us literally £1 for the business. Selling our IP and 250+ client relationships to a second competitor and pivoting into software consulting. 15:00 - "Build-First" Consulting: Flipping the Sales Cycle Why old agency models (5 discovery calls, 6–9 months of development, huge fees) are broken. How generative AI lets you build a custom working prototype for a client before you even sign a contract or jump on a call. 17:00 - The Manchester Cold Call Example (8-Hour App Build) Real example: A guy cold-called offering networking breakfasts in Manchester with a clunky spreadsheet sign-up process. How I took his URL, scraped his branding, built him a full custom event sign-up portal in 8 hours, and sent it to him for free. 18:50 - Career Advice for Students: Skip the CV "Humiliation Ritual" Why sending CVs to corporate job portals and ATS screeners is a complete waste of time. The alternative: Find your dream company, build an app that solves a specific headache inside the job role, and DM it directly to the hiring manager. 21:00 - Mapping Business Departments with Claude (The Prompt Taxonomy) Breaking down core company functions: Strategy, R&D, Product, Marketing, Lead Gen, BizDev, Commercial, Onboarding, and Customer Success. How to prompt Claude to map out roles, workflows, and data touchpoints inside any industry to find high-value AI opportunities. 24:30 - Results-as-a-Service (RaaS) & AI Video Generation Moving from SaaS to "Results-as-a-Service": delivering finished outcomes instead of access to a dashboard. Taking a company URL, running it through Claude for a script, pushing it into AI video tools (Higgsfield), and delivering finished B2B promo assets. 28:00 - What AI Workflows to Build vs. What to Avoid What to avoid: High-risk areas requiring 100% accuracy (e.g., heavy financial analysis, legal compliance). What to target: High-leverage, subjective workflows where speed and efficiency matter more than total perfection. 30:40 - Laptop Battery Emergency & Geeking Out Over GrokBot Brief pause to hunt down a charger mid-stream while my chief of staff is away. Why I’m constantly testing GrokBot automations across different department workflows. 34:00 - From OpenClaw Jank to Production-Ready AI The transition from early, unreliable AI agent frameworks (OpenClaw) to commercial-grade automation. How to use AI bots to automate back-office admin in high-budget industries. 36:00 - The $40 Trillion B2B AI Opportunity Why 4 years after ChatGPT launched, traditional B2B companies are only now actually waking up to AI integration. Wrapping up the stream and sharing the general philosophy behind building software in 2026.

Rekha Shekhawat (@RekhaSh84581912) reported@amazon @amazon I have the broken items with the Amazon packing at my place given to my home which I never ordered . Is Amazon now selling customers details to be scammed ?? This means we are not safe at our own homes

Charlie from Boardroom (@ecommboardroom) reportedMost ecom teams don’t have a data problem. They have a decision problem. Shopify, Amazon, ads, GA4, QuickBooks — the signals are already there. The win is turning them into 3 priorities, not 30 tabs. That’s where ops gets faster.

HowlingBunghole (@HowlingBunghole) reported@Periphery_Anon My problem with Gail is that she doesn't understand that the Action-Adventure Genre is supposed to have action and adventure in it. In the end, nobody is going to read this. The BattleTech Legends novels are the only ones that really sell (within the top 500 of Galactic Empire Science Fiction on Amazon).

Amazon Seller Help (@amznsellerhelp) reported@GM12980 Ah, understood - thanks for clarifying. So you've connected your own UPS account to Amazon Buy Shipping, and then connected Buy Shipping to ShipStation. Both should be pulling the same rates from your UPS account via Amazon's Buy Shipping API, but ShipStation is showing higher. Is that correct? This a known issue and is commonly caused by a Pickup Type Mismatch. ShipStation may have a different pickup type configured than what Seller Central uses (e.g., "Daily Pickup" vs. "Customer Counter" vs. "One Time Pickup"). Different pickup types = different rates from UPS, even on the same account. We'd recommend visiting ShipStation -> your carrier settings for Amazon Buy Shipping/ UPS and verifying that the pickup type matches what's set in Seller Central. If this still doesn't sort it out, you can follow up with us again here or create a case via Seller Central and our support teams will continue to look into this for you further. -Lou

John E Lee 🇺🇲🌵 (@johninasheville) reported@krismayes You had nothing to do with it fake AG. This is just a start. All platforms that have brainwashed half of America with "news" from Apple, Google, Amazon will be held accountable. If you get your "news" from any of these sources, you're part of the problem. Wake the fck up

Jim Pulaski (@jpula23687) reported@GioBruno1600 Big rack. I will give her that. She has no solutions to any of the problems she cited except to raise taxes and go on a spending spree. She has no legislation to her credit despite years in Congress. She did,however, discourage Amazon from building a plant in Queens which would have provided residents with thousands of jobs.

空の大怪獣マイク (@MikeTruk93) reported@CHARLIEBOT34 Fair. Got him for 23 off Amazon and feel pretty good about it. I’m sure he’ll drop down even lower at some point.

Louis Massett (@LouisMassett) reportedAn excerpt from Traddyland, Chapter 25. From the same conversation with my old classmate Seamus, three sentences on. "Can you blame them?" I said, and I felt the old darkness tightening in my chest. "Learning that the man who ran your high school was accused of ****** a Mexican boy does not tend to foster piety." "Don't go there, Louie." "Okay. Sorry, not sorry. But how many people have to abandon their faith before we admit that the SSPX isn't the solution to the problem — they're just one part of it?" Traddyland. On Amazon.

Emilio Damian (@STTsupra) reported@DisTrackers @SungTaiSan I have the same issue with the Jordan Funko Pop. I ask for an exchange and they ask how can we improve. I tell them do not send Funko Pops in envelopes. My next 2 replacements are in envelopes. They never learn. Do better @amazon

Rich Hylton (@RichHylton_) reportedPeople buy when four things line up. Speed. Ease. Low cost. Low risk. When your offer hits all four, they buy. When it misses one, they hesitate. Amazon won on speed. McDonald's won on speed. Uber and Netflix won on risk. None of them tried to win on everything. They picked one and owned it so hard nothing else mattered. Your people are already telling you which one they care about. It's in the objections. The questions they ask before buying. The reason they didn't buy last time. Find the one that's broken. Fix it loud enough they can't miss it. want easy fast money? fix big painful problem.

Rustle V. Daises (@HeyJay132987) reported@KosherVeruca I don't pay for a TV license fee, literally getting cooled down with my AC as i write this, and yeah, i can. I bought Japanese knives not too long ago. I say "bought", I technically got them for free because there was a mess up with the Amazon order.

Spencer (@ecomrat) reportedSome random ecom ball knowledge that will help you scale faster and make your business more durable: 1. If you produce products in China and don't know what Sinosure is, you're at a massive disadvantage. Sinosure is a state-backed insurer that allows your chinese suppliers to give you net terms without taking all the credit risk themselves. My brand gets net 120 day terms with $0 down because of this. Gives us an insane cash flow advantage that allowed us to scale extremely quickly The crazy thing is a lot of factories don't even know what it is. Ask your factory about it and about getting terms. If they don't know what it is, tell them to apply for it and then look for another factory that does. 2. If you're getting ripped off by Chinese counterfeits, there's a way to fight back that's way better than just doing DMCA takedowns. You can sue them in federal court, get a temporary restraining order, take that TRO to Amazon or any of the other marketplaces (Alibaba, Aliexpress, TT shop, Temu, etc.) and they'll take down the listings and freeze their payouts. Then settle with them or collect their abandoned funds via something called a default judgement. Ask Claude about it. We did this and collected multiple 6 figures from the bad guys. Bonus is they're way less likely to spin up a new listing and knock you off again because you hurt them financially. They'll move on to something easier. Btw there are firms that will do this for you on contingency and split the payouts with you. 3. You should have a 3PL in China, even if you already have a US 3PL It let's you sell worldwide overnight and can also fill the gap shipping to the US if you ever stock out in your US warehouse. You never want to have to turn off your ads and lose momentum. US orders get shipped by our US 3PL, everywhere else gets shipped by China 3PL. Congrats you're now a global enterprise. Stack all of these and thank me later

Justice Bait Themhoes |🍃|🔌🐰|🥥🧁| (@Zaid_Ikari) reported@JiltedValkyrie So, while buying components for the RV setup, I came across this. Since I won't be able to buy a big $33k battery off the bat, I found an adapter that connects to the EV power, but it puts out 120v so next i got a 240v to 120v 3000w step down converter off Amazon. Note: I haven't seen all your vids yet, so IDK if you have something like this yet.

Margaret (@Margaretofg) reportedMargaret in Manhattan is Book Thirteen in the Margaret of Greenwich® Young Adult series by R. L. Rhyse. Returning home pregnant wasn’t what Margaret had expected after her study in Berlin. Nor could she have foreseen the startling family news that awaited her. Yet these events lose importance as a far greater issue arises: a looming attack on the United States to murder an entire generation of its Army officers.

CTK Capital Intelligence (@CTKCapitalIntel) reported$NVDA Q2 FY27 results: Revenue: $96.2B (+106% YoY) vs ~$92.2B est Non-GAAP EPS: $2.22 vs ~$2.08 est Data Center: $89.0B (+117% YoY) Gross margin: 75.0% Q3 guide: $108B revenue, 74% GM The math underneath: Q2 guide was $91B ±2%. Ceiling was $92.8B. They printed $3.4B above the top of their own range. Data Center is 92.5% of total revenue. Prior-year Data Center was roughly $41B. Sequential: $81.6B → $96.2B. +17.9% in one quarter. YoY growth accelerated: Q1 was +85%. Q2 was +106%. Q3 guide of $108B implies +$11.8B sequential, or +12.3%. That's more added in one quarter than AMD's entire trailing-twelve-month revenue. Gross margin guided down 100bps, 75.0% → 74%. Three facts that matter more than the beat: 1. The $108B Q3 guide assumes zero China Data Center compute revenue. Any China contribution is upside not in the number. 2. Hyperscaler capex — Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft — hit $166B in Q2 alone, +87% YoY. Full-year 2026 estimated near $745B. Nvidia's Q3 guide is priced against that, not against a forecast. 3. Last quarter Nvidia grew revenue 85% and the stock fell 1.77% the next session. It closed at $208.48 Monday, down 2.91%, after a seven-session losing streak. Educational only. Not financial advice.

Adam H (@AJH55614490) reported@AmazonHelp Hi Ruby, yes I am still able to sign in normally. My account is not locked, but it has been falsely flagged for "too many returns" and a confirmed refund was reversed. Please send me a secure DM link so I can share my order number and evidence with you privately. Thank you.
