Amazon sellers, please pay attention! Six points you need to pay attention to in October

Amazon US announced that with the holiday season approaching, brand buyers can sign up for the Amazon Vine program at a discounted price of $100 per parent ASIN (saving 50%) until October 31, 2022.

Whether you are a new brand seller or launching a new product, the Amazon Vine program can help sellers get your first product review. Participating in Amazon Vine can help increase sales of new products or slow-moving products by up to 19%.

When the seller receives the first review from a Vine user, the account backend will immediately enjoy a 50% discount when paying the fee. The number of participants in this discount is consistent with the upper limit of Vine, that is, 60 parent ASINs can be registered at the same time to participate in the Vine program, and all accounts that meet the participation conditions can enjoy the discount immediately. If the seller's product does not receive any reviews, or the first Vine review is published more than 90 days after the registration date, Amazon will not charge any fees.

Beta testing of detail page enhancements. From now until January 2023, when customers view the desktop version of detail pages for certain products, they will see a new widget with “Other popular products from this brand.” This widget will appear for brands using Amazon Attribution and measure sellers’ non-Amazon marketing on product detail pages through Google Search Ads. Note: All brands participating in the Brand Referral Rewards program are automatically enrolled in the program.

On October 6, the Amazon platform announced the German WEEE upload channel. Stores that have already registered can fill in the WEEE number according to the platform prompts. If they fill in the number before January 1, 2023, they will be compliant. After January 1, 2023, Amazon will block non-compliant products for stores and brands that have not filled in the WEEE registration number.

1. Amazon requires you to provide a registration number to prove that your product complies with the German Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Law. You must submit a waste electrical and electronic equipment registration number for the brand and device type combination you plan to sell. Otherwise, from January 1, 2023, Amazon will stop selling your non-compliant products as required by law.

2. For customers who upload multiple brands, multiple categories, or register a single category or a single brand, please register other brands or categories as soon as possible;

step:

1. Click on the yellow warning "Please provide registration information"

2. Select the corresponding category to enter. Look at your WEEE certificate to know which category to choose. Most products are in the fifth category of WEEE. If it is the fifth category, choose small non-photovoltaic equipment.

How do I know which category my WEEE certificate is registered for?

First, you can query by entering the WEEE certificate number on the EAR query website;

The second is that you can see it directly on the certificate. If you can read German, you can see it directly, or translate it using translation software.

3. Enter the registration code and submit it for review.

Most products fall into the fifth category of WEEE. If they fall into the fifth category, select small non-photovoltaic equipment. After entering, you can see the brand name. Enter the certificate number after the brand name and submit it. You need to wait for Amazon to verify the packaging certificate number. The verification takes about 5 days, and the same should be true for WEEE.

If you click on a category and there is no brand association, and it shows that it is not yet registered, this means that the category was selected incorrectly. You can step back and reselect the category. If the category and brand are not registered correctly, you need to supplement them and then fill them in.

It should also be noted that WEEE registration is renewed every natural year. In 2022, you can only register for WEEE in 2022, and you can only submit a registration application for WEEE in 2023 from January 2023. This means that if you register now, you will immediately need to pay 2 years of fees. If you wait until 2023 to register, although you can save money, your product is likely to be removed from the shelves.

Amazon Europe announced that sellers can increase orders from Amazon Business (B2B) customers by using the new Amazon Business Discount Analysis. Sellers can view personalized business price and quantity discount recommendations for their popular ASINs, or generate reports for the entire catalog.
