Ouch, what did you guys end up doing? Move to your own platform?

We stopped shipping things to FBA. Sadly we still had to sell on Amazon since it's the best way to sell books online, even with their shenanigans. But without FBA benefits there's no way to compete with Amazons deep discounts on new books, so we pretty much only sold used books.

It feels absolutely horrible knowing that the only way to make any money online with books is to sell on your biggest competitor's site.

Right, because everyone just has their own "platform". And one that can compete with Amazon no less.
