▶ Video account attention cross-border navigation It is learned that last week, former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos warned on Twitter that the US economy may be heading for a recession and advised sellers and consumers to prepare for difficult times. It is reported that the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates from almost zero to 3% to 3.25% now, and hinted that it may be close to 5% next year. Under this circumstance, consumers will most likely choose to save more rather than consume, thereby reducing total demand and easing the pressure of price increases. Judging from the recent fluctuating and even continuously silent order data of cross-border sellers, the precursors of these speculations seem to have appeared. However, what is causing the most headaches for cross-border sellers at the moment is undoubtedly Amazon’s increasingly tightened inventory restriction policy. Amazon's storage capacity is cut in half again It is learned that at 12 noon today , many Amazon sellers reported that the inventory capacity of the US site has dropped sharply: "Why is Amazon so arrogant today? It directly cut more than 10,000 warehouse capacity, causing the account to be unable to ship goods at present." "Amazon must be poisonous. When I woke up, my storage capacity was cut in half." "Kurong directly cut 70,000..." ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan As the latest warehousing time for the peak season approaches, many sellers are preparing goods with great confidence and are planning to show their skills. Amazon's move really caught the sellers off guard. - The latest arrival time in the US: Black Friday: November 2; Christmas: December 1
- The latest arrival time in Europe: Black Friday: November 4; Christmas: December 11
However, it is understood that this is the second time Amazon has reduced its inventory capacity since the second half of this year. As early as the end of August this year, many sellers in the seller communication group received Amazon’s replenishment restriction emails . ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Although Amazon stated in the email that only about 5% of Amazon sellers would be restricted from restocking due to the inventory reduction operation, after that, many sellers on the US site said that their inventory capacity had been greatly reduced, and some sellers even saw their inventory capacity plummet by as much as 60%. Considering that many sellers had difficulty in stocking up due to shipping restrictions on the eve of last year's peak season and could only clear their inventory at low prices , Amazon's two operations on the eve of this year's peak season will undoubtedly have a huge impact on countless sellers. We would also like to remind all sellers that in view of the recent adjustments in Amazon’s warehouse capacity, sellers need to pay more attention to changes in warehouse capacity and adjust their stocking plans in a timely manner. However, apart from this, although the current difficult situation of cross-border sellers has not changed and Amazon’s large and small scanning scandals are still ongoing, there is not all good news recently. Recently, we learned that Amazon has made some improvements to the complaint page for associated scanning numbers. Amazon Association Appeal Interface Update As the saying goes: There are thousands of reasons for account scanning, and association accounts for half of them. Among the many reasons for Amazon account suspension, association is undoubtedly one of the most troublesome reasons for Amazon sellers. Credit cards, legal persons, computers and even the Internet may become the fuse of association. Amazon has previously had multiple cases of misjudgment of associations, causing many sellers to be innocently affected as a result of having a large number of stores blocked due to inexplicable associations with unfamiliar accounts. However, we learned that Amazon recently made some updates to the backend related complaint interface. According to the appeal interface, the following three options will appear on the page after the Amazon seller’s account is deactivated due to association: - I identified another account and confirmed that I own it.
- I can't identify the other account.
- I have identified another account that I am no longer associated with.
▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group 1. Select "I have identified another account and confirmed that I own it": Amazon will remind sellers: If your other account is still deactivated, please do not file an appeal through this account, but work hard to restore your other account. Under this option, the seller must first resolve another account that was previously deactivated. 2. Select "I don't recognize another account": Amazon will ask: Have you used third-party company services or experienced account theft? Under this option, the seller needs to provide documentation explaining that the account has been compromised. 3. Select "I have identified another account, but I am no longer associated with this account at this time": Amazon will provide five reasons for sellers to choose from. After selecting the appropriate reason, the seller needs to provide relevant supporting documents. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Compared with the previous cumbersome related appeal process, this update of the appeal interface can be described as a "nanny-level tutorial" for Amazon sellers. It simplifies the appeal process and is great news. However, given the series of risks associated with account deactivation, we sincerely hope that all sellers will not encounter situations where they need to file a complaint, and avoiding association as much as possible should still be the top priority in ensuring account security.
