Apr 10, 2026 Season 5 Episode 1
The Amazon Strategist Show

Amazon sellers are facing a brutal reality in 2026:

Rising shipping costs.
 Higher FBA fees.
 Shrinking margins.

In this episode, John Cavendish sits down with Burak Yolga, Co-Founder & CEO of Forceget, to break down what’s really happening in global supply chains and how eCommerce brands can survive.

What you’ll learn in this episode

• Why shipping prices are rising again (and what’s coming next) 
 • The real impact of geopolitics on Amazon sellers
 • How to reduce landed costs and protect your margins
 • Why relying only on Amazon FBA is becoming risky
 • The hidden costs most sellers ignore (HTS codes, duties, storage)
 • Why omnichannel selling is no longer optional
 • How Amazon’s new payout changes affect your cash flow

Key Takeaways

  •  Shipping volatility isn’t over yet 
  •  Amazon fees + ads + coupons are eating margins 
  •  Sellers must optimize supply chain AND diversify channels 
  •  Cash flow is becoming one of the biggest risks in eCommerce 

Why This Matters

According to Burak, up to 25% of mid-level Amazon sellers are leaving the market due to rising costs and competition.

This is no longer a side hustle.

It’s a full-scale business or nothing.
