AVASK year in review: the top 10 e-commerce articles of 2024

As we look back on 2024, it’s clear that readers have been particularly interested in topics surrounding Amazon’s operational changes, VAT compliance services, and regulatory updates.

Our most-read blogs of the year reveal that sellers have – naturally – a keen interest in understanding how shifts in Amazon’s services and evolving regulations impact their businesses. From the ending of VAT services on Amazon to the closure of the Call-Off Stock Programme, and the Pan-EU FBA updates in the Netherlands, we’ve seen that you’re eager to stay ahead of the curve.

Green is the colour for e-commerce businesses

In 2024 we focused on compliance with environmental regulations, such as Amazon’s EPR services ending, and the single-use plastics deadline in Germany. This highlights a growing commitment to sustainability from sellers, which as the regulations grow and change, will strengthen through 2025 and beyond.

All about growth for 2025

Also, the interest in expanding into new markets, like Amazon Sweden – and navigating customs and border regulations for the UK and EU – reflects the proactive approach of businesses looking to grow and adapt in the dynamic e-commerce world.
