It's been almost a year since I last sold off one of my e-commerce businesses.
Since then, a lot has changed.
Amazon's new fees were implemented, interest rates have skyrocketed, and FBA Aggregators are few and far between.
I invited Dave over today to discuss how Amazon may or may not have had a hand in directly affecting the valuations of e-commerce businesses, and why the market hasn't recovered from 2 years ago. Here are some of the big takeaways from this episode:
The Big Takeaways- E-commerce valuations have decreased mainly due to the uncertainty caused by Amazon's fees and policies. Who knows when Amazon will come out with more fees that'll impact profitability?
- Google's latest algorithm update has hit a LOT of content websites, leading to decreased traffic for everyone involved which directly impact its valuations.
- If your e-commerce business is sold at a 2x multiple, it might not be enough for you to retire. Wouldn't it be better to hold onto your business instead?
- 00:00 - Introduction and Sponsor
- 02:56 - Mike's Run at the World Series of Poker
- 08:13 - E-commerce Valuations
- 20:07 - Valuations for FBA Businesses
- 21:06 - Valuations for Off-Amazon Brands
- 22:01 - Uncertainty in Content Site Valuations
- 28:14 - Decision to Hold onto a Profitable Business
- 31:08 - Dave's Funny Story
- 34:21 - eBay's Attempt to Change
