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.
