    Amazon’s Star-Only Ratings Backfire, Walmart Courts Collectors, and TikTok Hits the Mall

    Send us a text In this August 5, 2025 edition of Selling on Giants – eCommerce News & Updates, Mr. Will unpacks a jam-packed week of platform shifts, seller pain points, and retail evolution, all delivered with the clarity and dry wit you’ve come to expect. We start with Amazon’s controversial update to seller feedback: customers can now leave star-only ratings with no written explanation and no option for sellers to appeal. FBA sellers are already raising red flags about delivery issues being misattributed and the loss of transparency in how feedback affects account health. This change might improve average ratings on paper, but sellers are flying blind in real-time. Then we pivot to Walmart’s surprising move into collectibles. At The National Sports Collectors Convention, Walmart debuted its marketplace strategy for trading cards and memorabilia, featuring top sellers like Dave & Adam’s and Goldin. It’s a clear signal Walmart is curating verticals, not just expanding SKUs. Back on Amazon, Handmade sellers are suffering major traffic losses after a silent backend category reclassification blitz. Listings are being miscategorized with no warning, killing visibility overnight. Mr. Will breaks down how to identify if you're affected and how to work around Seller Support’s automated dead ends. Other highlights: Amazon’s new Return Reduction Recommendations tool now lives inside Voice of CustomerQ2 earnings show ad revenue up 22% to $15.7B while retail growth stagnatesTikTok’s viral videos are now streaming in malls via a Rockbot + Westfield partnershipWalmart’s Trust and Safety overhaul tightens seller scrutiny with AI and stricter onboardingHoliday prep starts now: WFS deadlines, listing audits, and deal submission windowsThe “eCommerce disruption era” is officially over—omnichannel is the new defaultGrainger proves B2B buyers demand digital convenience tooKroger merges KPM and 84.51° to strengthen retail media attributionThis week’s takeaway? Retail isn’t dying, it’s evolving. Sellers who adapt to blurred channels, smarter compliance, and platform-native content will be the ones who win in Q4 and beyond.

  2. AI Agents, Video ROI, and Walmart’s New Rules: What eCommerce Brands Need to Know

    AI Agents, Video ROI, and Walmart’s New Rules: What eCommerce Brands Need to Know

    Send us a text In the July 29, 2025 episode of Selling on Giants - eCommerce News & Updates, Mr. Will breaks down the week’s most important marketplace shifts with sharp insight, real-world context, and just enough edge to make it worth your time. This one’s all about clarity, performance, and the growing role of AI across the platforms that matter. Here’s what we cover: Amazon’s Potential Sales Lift for Shoppable Video Finally, some real numbers behind the video push. Sellers can now see category-specific sales lift estimates based on what similar brands earned after uploading shoppable videos. For Beauty and Handmade brands, the data speaks clearly—video moves the needle. Multimodal AI Search Comes to Amazon Search is no longer just about keywords. Amazon is now interpreting product listings visually and semantically. Main images and A plus content are being factored into rankings. If your listing isn’t aligned with how your customer searches and shops, expect to slide down the page. Walmart Tightens Jewelry Listing Requirements If you sell jewelry, you’ll need to start including metal type, purity level, plating method, and weight. Vague listings will be suppressed. Now’s the time to update your catalog before Walmart’s systems flag it for you. Walmart Adds Reporting to Review Accelerator Sellers finally get transparency into what they’re being charged and credited for each incentivized review. If you’ve been guessing at ROI, this report connects the dots. New Rules for Promotional Pricing on Walmart Walmart is cracking down on repetitive promos. You’ll need a 30-day buffer between identical discounts, and all offers must meet minimum thresholds. Plan your pricing strategy like a retailer, not a workaround. Motion’s 2025 Creative Trends Report Lo-fi still works, but it’s getting crowded. Humor is making a comeback. Long-form storytelling is converting. The best brands are building native content that feels like it belongs in the feed, not a billboard. McKinsey’s Forecast on AI Agents The future is already here. McKinsey projects AI agents could add $1.5 trillion in value by handling operations, pricing, and even creative. Retail is one of the biggest opportunities. The brands that build systems now will scale faster than the ones stuck in spreadsheets. Walmart’s Super Agents Are Live Walmart is already using internal AI tools to automate merchandising, inventory, and supply chain workflows. These aren’t off-the-shelf bots. They’re deeply integrated decision engines. The sellers who move quickly and stay clean on data will benefit most. Amazon’s Full Funnel Strategy Is Working Brands running Streaming TV and upper funnel ads are seeing lift in Sponsored Products. Attribution is still messy, but the momentum is real. If your detail pages aren’t optimized, even the best ad strategy won’t save you. ChatGPT Now Uses Google Search OpenAI confirmed that ChatGPT now pulls answers from Google. That means your SEO fundamentals—structured data, schema markup, and crawlability—now impact your visibility in AI tools. Your SEO strategy is officially your AI strategy. Trump’s EU Trade Deal Could Mean Tariff Relief Apparel, luxury, and industrial goods may benefit most. If your brand sources from or ships to the EU, this could improve your margins if you’re ready to act quickly and stay compliant. And One Last Thought AI can help you scale. But it can’t give your brand taste. That’s on you. Future Commerce said it best: plastic watches are everywhere.

In this week’s episode of Selling on Giants – eCommerce News & Updates, Mr. Will breaks down what really happened during Amazon’s biggest shopping event of the year: why some brands saw record gains, while others got buried under Retail pricing and rising CPCs. We dive into seller sentiment, AI-driven product discovery, and what the post-Prime Day “halo effect” actually means for your Q4 strategy.
