ZD: “He also doesnt totally understand how it works by that statement, you cannot turn off Amazon Fufillment for 25 hours, Which is how the real money is made on Amazon”

That’s irrelevant if he feels that it is wrong to have an online business running for 7 days. Parnassah comes from Hashem alone, and you will gain nothing by doing improper hishtadlus (see Chovos Halevavos and other Mussar sefarim). I don’t know anything about the halachos involved, but apparently Rav Wolfson (if he was quoted correctly) considers this problematic and hence, unhelpful.
