In the past two years, Amazon's risk control policies have been constantly upgraded, and sellers can easily step into minefields if they are not careful. Last year's account suspension wave was even more brutal, with store sales bans and fund freezes putting many sellers in a desperate situation.
As the supervision of the platform continues to strengthen, compliance, branding, and refined operation routes have gradually become the mainstream. We can see that the extensive distribution operation model is being eliminated, and the refined distribution model is in the ascendant. However, the boutique operation route requires sufficient funds, high-quality talents and other large resources to truly gain a foothold, so successful transformation also faces considerable challenges. Recently, a trend of "new fine shops" has been sweeping across some video platforms , with claims of thousands of orders a day. Is this the rise of a new model or a scam? The rise of the “Xinjingpu” model is actually a scam for training to copycat sales? It is learned that according to a seller's revelation on the forum, many people can be seen recently on Douyin touting an operating model called "Xin Jingpu" . The videos are accompanied by screenshots of real orders, most of which are hundreds or thousands of orders per day. The seller said that for some orders, the ASIN of the product can be checked through the order number, and it turns out that many of them are copycat links, with hundreds or even thousands of products in one store all being copycat links. The homepage of one of the institutions shows that the company has a 3,000-square-meter warehouse and a mature warehouse management system, and is connected to 45 e-commerce platforms including Amazon. Behind the slogan "I am responsible for selecting products, you are responsible for uploading orders", in fact, it is copying the listings of competitors and selling other people's stores at low prices. Once a complaint of infringement is received, there is a high probability that both money and business will be lost. Not only that, these videos are ostensibly teaching sellers how to operate using the new Jingpu model, but in reality they are meant to promote their ERP services or training courses, and the training fees can be as high as tens of thousands of yuan. In addition to this, the model is a chain of routines. In the future, the independent site will be further promoted to sellers to earn more training fees. It can be said that there are big traps within small traps, and the traps continue. ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan Looking back at the previous large-scale wave of follow-selling stores, the whistleblower couldn't help but speculate that it was probably because this model of bulk follow-selling through ERP combined with so-called courses attracted a large number of small vendors to enter the market, thus causing many sellers to be implicated. Many sellers have also said: "Too fake. There are a lot of pig-killing scam products recently. The category rankings don't match the sales displayed. The negative reviews are outrageous. The videos used are the material of early TV shopping." "Looking at the different order numbers at the beginning, it is probably because you are selling links to multiple sites. Many people will complain about you later, and the performance of such an account will be very poor." "You can get the backend orders and amounts by pressing F12. Last year, when Amazon banned accounts, didn't many training institutions switch to TT to reap the profits?" In the past two years, the trend of cross-border e-commerce has swept the world. As new sellers flock to this market, various scams have emerged one after another. Here, we would like to remind all newbies to stay away from such marketing propaganda that is actually scamming people under the guise of new stores. Sellers often joke that "the leeks can never be harvested completely, they will grow again in the spring breeze". Sellers have to be ripped off by the ever-increasing service fees of the platforms, and they also have to be wary of paying IQ taxes to unscrupulous training institutions. The road to cross-border business is full of twists and turns. On the other hand, the international situation has been turbulent in recent times, adding more obstacles to sellers' cross-border trade. Multiple cargo ships encountered! Will the conflict between Russia and Ukraine further deteriorate? On the fifth day of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the situation remains tense and anxious. Some experts said that the Russia-Ukraine conflict may further disrupt the international supply chain. Since the situation started, Maersk, CMA CGM and other shipping giants have issued emergency notices to suspend ships from docking in Ukraine. However, a large number of ships are still stranded near the main Ukrainian ports of Odessa and Kherson due to the war. In addition, cargo ships have been damaged in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. According to reports, a ship called "Yasa Jupiter" leased by Cargill was hit in the Black Sea, which was the first time that physical goods related to commodity trading were destroyed in the waters. At present, the situation of the Russian-Ukrainian war seems to be deteriorating further. After European countries announced that they would close their airspace to Russia, Russia also took countermeasures, prohibiting aircraft from countries that had previously closed their airspace to Russia from entering Russian airspace. It is reported that Russian airspace is an important channel for the Arctic route between Europe and Asia or between North America and Asia. Once it is closed, other air routes will become more crowded and cargo routes will be affected. In this regard, a seller admitted that air delivery is likely to receive a new round of price increases. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group On the eve of the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, many sellers reported that the air delivery price of European routes plunged sharply, approaching 20/kg. However, now affected by factors such as the war, it has quickly climbed to the previous level and is showing a trend of further increase. Since the war between Russia and Ukraine, the performance of sellers has not been optimistic, and sales have been declining. Some sellers even said: I feel that all the orders have been wiped out by Pupu. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group It is learned that not only has the trade in some areas been interrupted due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, which has affected the sellers' order volume, but the return rate also seems to have increased. Some sellers have posted return applications from Ukrainian buyers, and the delivery of goods is facing great difficulties due to the ongoing war. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group The current situation of the Russian-Ukrainian dispute is complicated and confusing, and it is still unpredictable whether the subsequent situation can be stabilized.
