▶ Video account attention cross-border navigation Oh, how dangerous it is! It is harder to get orders than to climb to the sky! Cross-border sellers have been suffering from orders for a long time!
Even today, despite the risk of being removed from shelves due to infringement, Bing Dwen Dwen is still a hot topic among cross-border sellers due to its huge potential for explosive sales. Last time I posted, a seller joked: "It's delicious even if you take a bite of the meat and it's removed from shelves!" But just recently, it was learned that the trial result of the first criminal case in the country involving infringement of the copyright of the Beijing Winter Olympics mascot image has been announced: the suspect who produced and sold pirated Winter Olympics mascots was sentenced to one year in prison and fined 40,000 yuan. ▲ The picture comes from China News Network Currently, the National Copyright Administration is strengthening the investigation and punishment of traditional infringement and piracy issues. Therefore, if you enter the Bing Dwen Dwen market now and are caught, you will be punished. I would like to remind all sellers not to take risks. In addition to Bing Dwen Dwen, there are other products on Amazon that are likely to be removed from the shelves in the near future. The following will explain them one by one to sellers. The UPC code turns red! Is Amazon checking it?It is learned that recently, many sellers in the seller communication group reported that the UPC code display field exceeded the maximum length limit. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Some sellers said that they purchased their UPC codes on Taobao, and when they were editing and modifying the product information, the UPC was reported as incorrect. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group Some sellers on the forum also reported that they encountered the same situation: although they used the 13-digit UPC code, the Amazon backend prompted that the product UPC value exceeded the maximum length, resulting in the inability to edit or change product information or parameters. ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan Some sellers opened a case and asked customer service. Some customer service staff replied that it was due to system problems, while others asked the sellers to delete it themselves and re-upload it using a template. ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan Some sellers also remind everyone not to change the UPC code, which will result in one SKU code corresponding to one EAN and one UPC, and the seller will then completely lose the listing. ▲ The picture comes from Zhiwubuyan There are even many sellers whose products have been removed from the shelves because they were unable to resolve UPC anomalies. In response to this, some sellers said that Amazon is now checking UPCs more and more strictly, and the problems this time were all with old UPCs, which is most likely because Amazon is currently checking them. ▲ The picture comes from the seller communication group At present, there is no clear conclusion as to whether the situation encountered by sellers is a system update problem or Amazon is verifying the UPC code. But as we all know, Amazon has always attached great importance to compliance operations. Whether it is strictly prohibiting false reviews or strictly checking UPC, these are all measures taken by Amazon to require sellers to operate in compliance. Therefore, we would like to remind all sellers that operating in compliance is the key to long-term success on the Amazon platform. However, for the situation where the UPC code display field exceeds the maximum length constraint, some sellers have proposed their own successful solutions. Here are two methods for your reference:
The first one: 1. Use template to delete listing; 2. Use the template to re-upload the listing using Asin. Second type: 1. Use the template to change UPC to ASIN; 2. After the refresh is successful, the product becomes editable, but Amazon may split the product variants; 3. Re-merge the variants.
It is worth noting that sellers who have not encountered this situation can choose to register their brand, apply for UPC exemption, and operate in compliance to directly avoid the occurrence of the above situation. In addition, Amazon has recently had a lot of product problems in one category, and US authorities are asking Amazon to restrict sales of this category. Problems frequently occur! Will the sale of sodium nitrite be strictly restricted?WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. authorities are putting pressure on Amazon to restrict sales of certain chemical products amid an increase in suicides linked to sodium nitrite sold on the company’s website, according to a new report. It is understood that sodium nitrite is actually a strong oxidant and is sold on Amazon as a food preservative for preserving meat. However, foreign media investigations show that 10 people have been identified who committed suicide using sodium nitrite purchased through Amazon, including three teenage students. US authorities pointed out that the product is sold on Amazon, and because Amazon has a recommendation system that recommends the product to potential buyers, it may cause more suicides, and the families of the affected consumers have filed lawsuits against Amazon. Accordingly, US lawmakers have also written to Amazon's CEO, asking Amazon to provide a report on its sales of preservatives, detailing how it addresses dangers and how it handles complaints. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the sale of sodium nitrite on eBay has long been banned. Previously, Amazon removed a large number of 18650 batteries from its shelves. A large part of the reason was that in August last year, Amazon faced a class action lawsuit in Washington because the platform sold 18650 lithium batteries with energy capacity far below its advertised capacity, which might pose a serious risk of injury to consumers. It can be seen that after this incident, chemical products with potential hazards such as sodium nitrite are likely to be strictly restricted from sale, and may even face the risk of being removed from the shelves in batches. We would also like to remind relevant sellers to be prepared to avoid panic when Amazon takes restrictive actions. Do sellers know of any other products that are risky to sell recently? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
