Amazon Weekly News 9/24: Videos In Listings, Prime Day Rumors, & More

Amazon announced this week that sellers can now upload videos for their listings if they have sold on Amazon for longer than a year and meet certain eligibility criteria. The uploaded videos will be eligible to appear in the images section of Product Detail pages.

One of the biggest stories of the year that we have reported repeatedly here on the Weekly News is: when is it going to be Prime Day? A new article from the Verge claims that “Prime Day shopping will take place October 13th and 14th, and that the company will make an official announcement September 27th.” Now, this is still just a rumor, but it is potentially exciting news.
