E641: I tried to get my tariffs back today. Here's what happened.

from The Ecomcrew Ecommerce Podcast · host Mike Jackness & Dave Bryant

Dave breaks down the recent wins for e-commerce sellers: tariff refunds now being available and Amazon rolling back their credit card policy changes. He talks about why this is a bigger deal than it seems to be, how you as an e-commerce seller can start claiming your tariff refunds, and what this means for sellers moving forward. Sellers have gotten the biggest wins in the past week.  First, Amazon sellers have managed to get Amazon to take back their credit card policy changes where Amazon would not allow sellers to pay for advertising with their credit cards. Second, e-commerce sellers are now able to start collecting their tariff refunds after the tariffs were ruled illegal by the Supreme Court.  In this episode, Dave walks through how you can collect your tariff refunds from the US government and breaks down Amazon's response to the sellers who were organizing a protest.   Timestamps 00:00 - Recent big wins for Amazon and e-commerce sellers 00:58 - How to claim tariff refunds 03:08 - The problem with the tariff refunds  04:33 - The refund process and timing 05:30 - Why the US government moved fast to reimburse tariffs 06:26 - My previous experience getting audited by the CBP 12:40 - Amazon's policy change on credit card payments for advertising 13:10 - Seller backlash and protest on April 15th 14:38 - Amazon's PR response  16:31 - The importance of seller organization and collective action 17:29 - How seller protests influenced Amazon's messaging 19:23 - Final thoughts on organizing and pushing for e-commerce seller rights Resources & Links Quiet Light Brokerage ACE CBP System
