Affected by the epidemic, the resumption of work time for most companies has been postponed again and again, from February 3 to February 10, and then to February 17, and some companies even directly postponed it to March 1.
However, the extension of the resumption of work does not mean an extension of the holiday, and most employees need to work from home. As a cross-border e-commerce seller, you can operate your account at home through VPS or remote software, so it will not have much impact on your work. But one issue that sellers are more worried about is whether there is a risk of account association when operating the account at home? How to associate two accounts logged into the same VPS? Recently, a seller accidentally logged into two accounts on his computer and is now very worried about whether they will be linked. The seller originally logged into A on a VPS, but accidentally logged into B. Less than 10 minutes later, he realized his mistake and quickly logged out to clear cookies, automatically fill in passwords, etc. (Screenshot from Zhiwubuyan Community) Other sellers have different opinions on this issue, but they can be basically divided into three groups: Seller A: It will definitely be linked, but it may not necessarily be blocked! So what you need to do now is to make plans for what will happen if your account is blocked! Seller B: Generally not. Mistakes may happen occasionally. Amazon robots are not omnipotent, unless you are really unlucky. Seller C: It has been recorded in the background. The same computer, the same browser, the same IP, it has been strongly associated. If there is a connection, just ask someone to go to the internal background to help you check, the IP and fingerprint should be associated. Whether you survive or not basically depends on your luck and the bad things you have done. Chenzi also agrees with the seller C's opinion that every step the seller takes in the Amazon backend will be recorded by Amazon. However, Amazon will not notify everyone immediately after the accounts are linked, and Amazon will not necessarily discover the problem of account linkage at the first time. There are many accounts on the Amazon platform, and it is relatively complicated for Amazon to manage them. Therefore , sometimes even if the accounts are associated, Amazon may not check it immediately and impose penalties. However, in recent years, Amazon has been strict in managing multiple accounts. Therefore, once factors that lead to association appear in the accounts, it is very likely that you will suddenly receive an association email from Amazon one day in the future. Therefore, sellers must be cautious when using VPS to log in to their accounts. In addition, most sellers still use remote software to operate their accounts. Are there any sellers worried that there will be account association risks involved? (Screenshot from Zhiwubuyan Community) There is no associated risk when using tools such as Teamviewer, Sunflower, QQ Remote, etc. to directly remotely control company computers, so sellers can operate with confidence. Some sellers bring laptops back from work and use their home network login accounts, or use computers that they have never logged into before. These two situations are basically not related unless you have logged into other accounts at home. Factors that may cause association In addition, sellers should also be wary of possible associated risks in hardware, account information, and products.
The hardware includes computer, network cable IP , router, modem, network card information, hard disk information, etc. To avoid hardware association, sellers are required to use independent computers and independent networks to operate independent accounts as much as possible during operations, and avoid logging into multiple accounts on the same computer or network. Account association does not mean that you can only log in to a certain account on the same computer. One account can be logged in on multiple computers and multiple network environments. Once a certain account has been logged in on this computer and network, it is not recommended to log in to other accounts. Registrant name, credit card holder name, payment account information, email address, address information, phone number, password, etc. Except for the case where the same set of information is used to register accounts on different Amazon sites, in other cases, the information of registered accounts should not be related to each other and should be as different as possible without any pattern to follow. Product similarity should be less than 30% , including pictures, SKU , product description, etc. In order to prevent account association due to product factors, sellers are advised to publish different products in different stores when publishing products. If you have limited products but want to publish all products in multiple stores simultaneously, it is recommended to make distinctions in product images, descriptions, SKUs, etc., and do not publish exactly the same product information multiple times in multiple accounts. During the period of working from home due to the epidemic, as long as sellers are more careful, the risk of account association is generally not high, and they can work remotely with confidence.
Friends who have returned to work must take good protection~
