Amazon News Live: AI Wars, Etsy Checkout, China’s Lead & $5 Groceries

Amazon Sellers — the battlefield just shifted again.

AI isn’t just talking about your products, it’s now selling them. Walmart, Etsy, and Shopify are catching a wave of AI-driven traffic while Amazon tightens its walls with Rufus. Meanwhile, China-based sellers now make up more than half of Amazon’s seller base, and Amazon itself is pushing a new grocery brand where almost everything is under $5.

That’s not all—ChatGPT’s new instant checkout is already moving stock for Etsy and soon Shopify. Deals, traffic, and competition are changing fast, and sellers need to keep pace.
