Amazon brings you the customers as opposed to you needing to find them. Many ad networks are banning mask ads due to "price gouging" for political/PR/legal reasons.
True story: yesterday I got a downtime notification for my ecommerce store. It turns out Shopify pulled it down with no warning because their automated scan detected we were selling face masks. We sell fashionable face masks, and it was actually a test listing that failed our testing phase so we never stocked the product or sold them. The price was also super reasonable and would have supported, at most, 30% margins (but in reality it failed testing, meaning the margins were negative).
I am transitioning off the platform and will never use Shopify for anything serious. What a POS company. They seem to think they are running a marketplace when they are actually selling a completely replaceable and somewhat buggy software-as-a-service that treats their customers like idiot children.
They had no idea if we were buying thousands of dollars of traffic per hour and they are lucky we weren't.
