Recently, Seller Central has gone through several UI and layout changes that honestly feel like they’re modeled after platforms like Alibaba or Taobao—and not in a good way.
Here are a few specific concerns:
The ads dashboard now highlights suggestions that are either irrelevant or not useful, yet they take up the most visible space.
The campaign UI sometimes defaults to a multi-marketplace view, which is very confusing and inconvenient—especially for sellers focused on just one region.
The new Seller Central homepage, which we’re told will be mandatory starting June 18, is a major downgrade in usability. While the sales data section is still there, it’s now preceded by several blocks of less relevant information, making it harder to quickly get to the key metrics we check daily.
Overall, the homepage looks more like an ad-filled cluttered portal than a business dashboard. The structure seems to prioritize content HAQM wants to push rather than what sellers actually need.
A lot of us are wondering—has HAQM been hiring ex-Alibaba or Taobao designers? Because the recent design direction feels eerily similar: more complexity, more noise, and less efficiency.
Please take seller experience seriously. We’re here to run a business, not scroll through a maze of forced suggestions and UI experiments.
