HOT TOPIC
Temu launched a new Shopify app that lets sellers list products on Temu’s marketplace directly from their Shopify accounts, no extra hoops required.
🔌 Plug in and start selling
The app connects Shopify merchants straight into Temu’s Local Seller Program across 30+ markets, without manual uploads or extra tools.
You get:
- One-click product syncing from Shopify to Temu
- Real-time inventory updates to avoid overselling
- Centralized order, shipping, and fulfillment management
- One dashboard to manage listings, inventory, and ops
📈 A win for both sides
This partnership lands as both platforms are in growth mode:
- Temu’s parent, PDD Holdings, reported 9% YoY revenue growth last quarter
- Shopify posted 32% YoY revenue growth and now supports millions of merchants across 175+ countries
- Shopify is also doubling down on AI-powered commerce with its new Agentic Storefronts
For Shopify sellers, this means instant access to global demand on Temu, without the usual friction of launching on a new marketplace from scratch.

BLACK MARKET
Did your listings go invisible in some regions?
Amazon sellers recently noticed a strange glitch: some FBA listings were completely unavailable in large swaths of the U.S., even when items were in stock, active, and fully compliant.
One seller said the “buy-ability logic” hid some products in Miami, N.Y.C., and Chicago, but they still showed up in L.A. and Austin.
😬 Seller headaches multiply
Sellers moving 150–300 units a month suddenly struggled to sell just 5. They faced:
- Falling below Amazon’s restock limits, blocking inventory replenishment
- The threat of long-term storage fees for stock that wouldn’t sell
- No guidance from Amazon on fixing or preventing the issue
Some only discovered the problem by accident, scrolling inventory and realizing the green “Featured Offer” check didn’t guarantee real availability.
🛠️ Glitch or experiment?
By mid-November, Amazon “de-regionalized” the listings, supposedly fixing the issue.
But here’s the kicker: this wasn’t just a glitch, Amazon may have been testing regional restrictions for FBA.
The fallout? Murky. Missed sales, potential storage fees, and sellers now watching which zip codes actually see their products.
AMAZON NEWS
Apple and Amazon hit with $1.2B lawsuit
Apple and Amazon are on the hook again…this time in the U.K.
A new opt-out class action claims the two companies colluded to keep Apple and Beats prices high, effectively pushing independent sellers off Amazon.
🚀 The allegation
Here’s what allegedly happened:
- In October 2018, Amazon got preferential wholesale terms from Apple
- Third-party Apple/Beats sellers were reportedly restricted
- By January 2019, most independent resellers had disappeared, cutting discounted options
💥 The impact
And here’s how it affected shoppers:
- Prices stayed high with less competition
- U.K. shoppers paid near full price for Apple hardware, Beats, and accessories
- Proposed class covers all UK buyers of new Apple products since October 2018, excluding mobile bundles
- Claimed damages exceed $1.2B
⚖️ The legal context
Some history:
- Similar cases in the US (2022) and UK (2023) were blocked or stalled
- The new filing claims the competition case is strong, with a new class rep and structure
If it proceeds, it could reshape how Apple and Amazon handle third-party sellers and pricing in the U.K., and draw wider antitrust attention
