In this August 19, 2025 episode of Selling on Giants – eCommerce News & Updates, Mr. Will breaks down the headlines shaping how sellers prepare for Q4 across Amazon, Walmart, Shopify, eBay, and beyond.

Walmart is waiving Q4 storage fees to lure more inventory into their fulfillment network, while Amazon is doubling down on strict deadlines and peak fees for Prime Big Deal Days, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday. eBay is bringing resale fashion back to the runway with live shopping events, and Shopify has refreshed its SEO guide with quick wins sellers can implement before peak season.

Amazon also expanded Vine to heavy and bulky items — a game-changer for categories like furniture, appliances, and fitness equipment. Meanwhile, consumer sentiment slipped for the first time in four months, signaling deal-hungry shoppers this holiday. Meta rolled out stronger brand protection tools on Facebook, and Poshmark founder Manish Chandra is stepping down as CEO after nearly fourteen years, signaling potential platform shifts ahead.
