How is everyones sales in 2025
I've read forums and heard people discuss "what recession, my sales in 2024 were so high!" BUT how are peoples sales going so far in 2025.
The back and forth with tariffs are making my head spin and i'm unsure if customers are freaking out and not really buying on Amazon. I noticed returns are super high! My sales some days are high and some days are low. They used to be consistent.

Amazon used to be a very good venue for me. It stopped several months ago. 2024 was my worst year ever since I started here in 2015, as soon as handmade was made available on this venue.
Which causes me to work harder on other venues to make up for the loss in sales here.
Unfortunately I have reached the point where I do not understand all the changes, and don't have time to teach myself how to learn all the new changes and how I am supposed to make them when I can't even understand the techno talk. I am too busy making products that still sell elsewhere.

My sales have dropped to almost nothing. People are not buying it seems. Gotta find another way!

Amazon changed the visibility of Handmade ASINs with the announcement of RECATIGORIZATION project in July 2023. You may see a steep drop-off in views/sales starting in August 2023. Some didn't see effects until February 2024.
Amazon has done nothing for Handmade except tout the "advantages" we are to see from this SEVERAL YEARS project. None have been seen, no end date has been promised.
It's not just "the economic uncertainty" though that's certainly a problem too. If you compare to the trends in your Etsy/Shopify/Michaels venues, you will see those sales trending upward, while Amazon languishes for lack of visibility.
