If by "upset" you mean "out of business." There are hundreds(?) of multi-million-dollar businesses who do the vast majority of their volume as a seller on the Amazon Marketplace. On second thought, I guess there would be a short term huge i

The seller will drop ship it from another seller or they cancel the order. Not a lot of options. As long as they don't do it too often it won't affect their feedback ratings noticeably.

Yep they exist. Sellers are pretty hesitant to say who they use since that is handing business intelligence to their competitors.

I work at a mid sized Amazon 3rd party seller. We reprice automatically. With thousands of SKU's there's no other way to be competitive. There are many layers to consider though, you definitely can't let your whole catalog auto-reprice. Usu

I'm a PC. :( Chrome is so decent at modifying CSS & previewing the changes, seems like there could be a (simple?) extension that would track changes you make and give you a shareable preview link. Right? Are there other complexities I'm

I was exposed to all of that, but 1) haven't used much besides Unix/OOP/Databases since, and 2) feel like I only learned 1% of what I use even in those areas during college. A lot of it comes back to not having specific goals in college, sl

Depends what you mean by "know about." I had taken a couple of programming classes. I knew you could write code, compile it, and make a thing that does a thing. I started college as a Computer Engineering major, then realized that really
