Selling Partner Services under attack: What is the real reason?
Amazon’s ‘Selling Partner Services’ department is the backbone that connects millions of third-party sellers around the world to the company’s platform. From vendor onboarding to coordinating logistics, this team handled everything. But now, according to reports, the company has started restructuring in this unit. An Amazon spokesperson has described the layoffs as “limited”, but looking at the data of the last six months, the company has eliminated about 30,000 jobs so far. The question arises whether these teams have now become irrelevant, or have technology taken their place?
