My boss used to sell on Amazon, until one time they royally screwed him over using this method. He had a product where he was given exclusive online rights to sell. Somehow it disappeared in the Amazon warehouse, but at least they provided a refund. Less than a week later, the same product showed up back on Amazon under a first time seller.

Working for a small business, Amazon has absolutely allowed for the collapse of local retail. But let’s be real, people put local retail out of business. People chose convenience over community. They’d rather have it delivered to their door, or to their trunk, instead of actually taking the time to walk into a store that’s not a Target or Walmart.

Don’t order from Amazon. Easy fix.

I’ve been using Scribus for layout design for years. It works well, but there’s a huge learning curve. Being able to have another option would at least be welcomed.
