A little special post today as I collaborated with Artur Stanczuk, founder of MarketMaze, on a report discussing Amazon vs. Temu. Artur and I have known each other for a little over a year and frequently discuss the evolution of marketplaces and e-commerce. Given our shared views on the future of e-commerce, we decided to work together on a comparison article about two e-commerce titans: Amazon and Temu.

As you can find in the full report, here are some other news pieces I didn’t elaborate on but still found interesting. I’ve shared my thoughts on the linked articles, which come from various sources. I hope you find them interesting! Let me know if you think I missed anything big.

The Challenges of Attracting and Retaining Sellers for Amazon and Temu

Not every Amazon seller is the same, but many sellers are worn out. I think that’s something the article missed.
