Video account attention cross-border navigation


It is learned that according to the report of Shenzhen Health Commission, on January 11, Shenzhen reported 4 cases of new coronavirus infection, and they have been transferred to the hospital for isolation and treatment.

As the year draws to a close, the epidemic has struck again. As Shenzhen is the base camp of many cross-border companies, Amazon sellers are worried. Can they go home for the Chinese New Year this year? Can the recent goods still be shipped?
 
In addition to being constantly concerned about the progress of the epidemic, sellers dare not relax their cross-border business. For sellers, the most exciting thing about doing business on Amazon is not the stable Lin Dan every day, but not knowing when they will be spoofed by others.
 

The seller offers a reward of 500,000 yuan to find the prankster

Recently, a screenshot of a WeChat Moments message was circulated in a seller communication group. According to the screenshot content, the poster may be an Amazon seller, who said:
 
This year is the most difficult year for Amazon e-commerce sellers. Now they are being attacked crazily by their peers. They have been attacked many times before, but they have always kept their original intention and did not fight back. Now they can no longer tolerate it! If relevant insiders can provide information about attacking a certain brand, once verified, they will be given a thank you of 500,000 yuan, and the person who provided the clue will be kept confidential!

According to the above information, it can be known that the seller is operating the fascia gun category of Amazon's Asia site, but fellow sellers in the same category have repeatedly made spoofs. After being "tortured", the seller asked for help in the circle of friends, trying to find the spoofer by offering a "heavy reward".
 
At the same time, some sellers found that this content has appeared many times in the circle of friends, and the subjects of the screenshots are not the same person. It can be seen that this information has been forwarded and spread by many sellers, so it is not clear who the source of the information is.
 
However, many onlookers have questioned this information:
 
“Is there really anyone who would spend $500,000 to find a competitor? Wouldn’t it be better to use the money for promotion?”
"You're kidding me. Maybe you won't pay me if I help him find it?"
 
As a result, the sellers had different opinions, and then several speculations about this "large reward" began to circulate.
 
Guess 1: It's just a scam
 
Some sellers verified the above information and found out that the brand was being transferred, and the trademark did not display personal information. No related stores could be found on the Amazon front desk. Therefore, they speculated that this should be a scam . In terms of the strength of individual sellers, it seemed a bit unrealistic to come up with 500,000.

Guess 2: The reward amount is just a gimmick, the purpose is just to scare competitors
 
Some sellers said that the credibility of content posted on WeChat Moments is not that high. Big sellers will not do this, and small sellers cannot afford so much money. The reward amount is likely just a gimmick to scare competitors.

I believe that many sellers will face similar difficult incidents. Faced with several spoofs from competitors, the seller launched a "heavy reward", but in reality most sellers can only swallow their anger because they are unable to solve the problem.
 
The cross-border circle is so large that all kinds of things happen. Sellers may not only be pranked by their peers and service providers, but also by their former colleagues.
 

Amazon account blackmailed by former colleague

Recently, a seller posted on a forum that the Amazon account of the company's operations department received a blackmail message from someone else, saying that these orders were evaluation orders made by them, and demanded that they pay back more than 10,000 yuan to the other party.
 
After discovering something fishy, ​​the company decided to call the police. Two days later, the police found the person who sent the blackmail message, and that person turned out to be a former colleague who had already left the company.

As an Amazon seller, it is common for accounts to be spoofed and blackmailed, and such cases have been happening in the cross-border circle. However, the special thing about this incident is that the blackmailer turned out to be a former colleague.
 
This incident makes people wonder why the former operator would go against his former company? Similar pranks are happening all the time in the cross-border circle. Maybe the mastermind behind the scenes is also someone familiar?
 
According to the seller, the operator "knelt down and begged for mercy" to the boss lady at the police station, explaining that he had to resort to this desperate measure due to financial problems, and begged the boss lady to write a letter of understanding. If she did not write it, the operator's future would definitely be greatly affected. In the end, the kind-hearted boss lady still wrote it.
 
The sellers have different opinions on the outcome of this case. Some believe that there is no need to write a letter of apology, while others support the boss lady's approach.
 
1. Reasons for not writing
 

  • Tolerance towards lawbreakers is punishment to society;
  • If your own problems violate the law, you should not let others bear the responsibility;
  • After writing the letter of apology, he will think that it is enough to kneel down and cry when he makes a mistake, and he may commit more serious crimes in the future.

 
2. Reasons for writing
 
First, in this matter, apart from the time cost and mental loss, there seems to be no other major resource loss. Repaying evil with kindness, through a simple letter of understanding, can bind a person's relationship, which is a low-cost transaction. Although it may not bring benefits in the future, it is at least possible to gain benefits.
 
Second, leaders can establish an image of kindness and benevolence, which can make their employees more convinced and make it easier to manage them in the future.
 
Regardless of the outcome, this incident has sounded a wake-up call to many cross-border practitioners. The cross-border e-commerce industry will also be subject to legal supervision. Sellers and service providers must not take risks and do whatever it takes for the sake of profit. Only by grasping the balance between morality and interests can a career develop in the long run.
