Then, the conversation shifts with Mike Stiles, who has spent more than a decade helping US-based sellers expand globally. He breaks down the Sell Globally workflow, the Marketplace Guidance tool, and strategies to tap into Europe’s 10 Amazon marketplaces (and 30+ consumer countries) through programs like Pan-EU FBA and remote fulfillment. Mike also shares how Amazon is listening to seller feedback, simplifying VAT and compliance hurdles, and equipping brands with resources to confidently scale into international markets. Whether you’re looking to optimize freight forwarding into the US or unlock new revenue streams in the EU and beyond, this episode is packed with practical insights, upcoming innovations, and step-by-step guidance to future-proof your Amazon business.
