That quote is out of context. He was hoping to make a large profit selling anonymously on Amazon. Now that he's been blocked from doing that, he has to try to break even selling locally (and surprise, surprise, he's much more concerned about his reputation when doing that).
I think this quote from him captures his situation much better:
> “It’s been a huge amount of whiplash,” he said. “From being in a situation where what I’ve got coming and going could potentially put my family in a really good place financially to ‘What the heck am I going to do with all of this?’”
