The Marketplace Change Tracker: The Only Source You Need for All Marketplace Updates

Written by Podean | 5/21/25 3:00 PM

In the fast-paced world of retail, something is always changing—an Amazon algorithm update here, a new seller policy there, or a platform-wide feature rollout. Staying ahead of these updates means staying informed, but keeping tabs on it all? That’s a full-time job in itself.

Take Amazon Ads, for example. In 2024 alone, Amazon released 120+ product updates. Keeping track of that volume of change is no easy feat, until now.

If you’ve ever found yourself with 20+ tabs open, scrolling through social feeds, and refreshing news alerts just to piece together the day’s marketplace updates, we can relate. That’s why we built the Marketplace Change Tracker.

What Is the Marketplace Change Tracker?

The Marketplace Change Tracker (MTrack) is a centralized, always-on feed that delivers every relevant update from the world of Amazon, Walmart, Target, and beyond. Think of it as a personal news feed, but curated specifically for marketplace sellers, retail brands, and e-commerce professionals.

Here’s what it tracks:
  • Platform-wide changes across Amazon and other leading marketplaces
  • Product and tool updates, feature releases, and policy shifts
  • Breaking news in e-commerce
 
Why It Matters

In e-commerce, efficiency and timing are everything. Whether you’re managing pricing, ad campaigns, or inventory strategy, knowing about a change as it happens can be the difference between staying ahead and falling behind.

The Marketplace Change Tracker helps your team:

  • React faster to industry updates
  • Avoid being blindsided by platform changes
  • Align business decisions with what’s happening in real time

So, instead of spending your mornings scrambling through endless tabs, searching for every relevant update, you can spend them making informed decisions.
