Urgent! A large number of old accounts are verified by postcards! Video verification is expanding...

Recently, a large number of old accounts have received emails requiring address verification . The emails show that Amazon needs to verify the company address displayed on the seller’s profile page. Amazon will send a unique code to the archived address , and the seller needs to enter this code in the seller platform before the specified date.



Compared with the regular postcard verification, most of these verifications are required to be completed before June 7, 2021. Until today, some old accounts have received this email, and they are all required to be completed before June 7.

More than half of the sellers who received the postcard verification this time were accounts that were signed up by the merchant link in August last year, and some were accounts that were signed up at the end of last year or in January. This made some sellers wonder if this was an aftershock of the account scanning, after all, a large part of the accounts that were scanned at the beginning of the month were from August last year.

Compared to scanning the number, postcard verification is much more "gentle". Even if the seller does not complete the process on the specified date, future payments will remain in the seller's account until the address is verified .

 
“I also opened an account last year and received the same email yesterday. I filled in the address and am waiting for the postcard to arrive.
Don't panic, it's a blessing, not a disaster. If it's a disaster, you can't avoid it! "

Some sellers remind everyone that you must fill in an address where you can receive the postcards. Just add the address that can receive postcards to the office address in the background. If you modify it on a computer that you often use, it will not trigger the review!


After the seller confirms the address, Amazon will send a postcard containing a verification code to this address, and most postcards will be delivered within 5-7 business days .
 
There are generally two types of express delivery for postcard verification, one is SF Express sent from Shanghai (usually from the European station) , and the other is UPS (usually from the US station and Japan station) . The express information cannot be found, and you can only wait for the courier to call .

Sellers need to note that neither of these two types of packages can be forwarded, cannot be placed at collection points, and even cannot be placed in express lockers. They need to be signed for in person , and when signing for SF Express, a verification code must be provided to ensure that it is you .

What if it is not me? After all, he is a domestic courier, so there are still many flexible ways.
 

Sellers please note! Video verification is expanding!



In February this year, Amazon video verification came with great momentum, sweeping a large number of accounts, and service providers made a lot of money. I originally thought that Amazon had stopped, but unexpectedly, in recent days, it suddenly started a new round of sweeps.



The email content indicates that in order to protect the security of the account, Amazon requires sellers to verify their identity in order to continue selling on Amazon. Sellers need to make an appointment with Amazon staff for a real-time video call and present their original ID and the company's business license (if applicable) during the video call . The video call is expected to take 20 minutes. Sellers can choose the date and time they want to make a video call to complete the appointment, but can only choose up to three time periods.

Among this batch of video-verified accounts, a large portion are new accounts or accounts that have only been in operation for a few months .

Some sellers said that it was fine if a batch of old accounts were scanned, but they would be abandoned if they could not be verified; but this time a new account came again, is Amazon leaving them no way out ?

It is not difficult to see that Amazon video verification is not as simple as a whim check . In the future or in the next few months, video verification is likely to become a regular verification . This also shows Amazon's determination to control "fake accounts" or "trading accounts" on the platform.

Since sellers cannot escape video verification, adequate preparation is necessary. After all, complete information will help to pass the verification in one go and can also reduce unnecessary troubles later.
 

What materials are required for Amazon video verification?

1. Original Chinese citizen ID card or passport .

2. Paper version of business license. The name of the legal representative should be shown on the business license, which should be consistent with the name on the ID card.


What is the video verification appointment and confirmation process?

Step 1: After receiving the Amazon video verification email, the seller needs to make an appointment for video verification as required ;

Step 2: It is recommended to choose Chinese as the appointment time. After the appointment is made, please pay attention to whether you have received the video verification operation guidance email in your mailbox;

Step 3: Download the Amazon Chime software on your phone or computer according to the instructions in the email. You can also use the web version. Open the software or go to the corresponding web version website and enter the meeting number provided in the email. Prepare the relevant information and complete the verification.


In addition, during the verification process, sellers also need to pay attention to the following: when verifying an ID card, they must show the front and back of the ID card to the other party facing the camera; when verifying a business license, they must look at the front and back of the business license from top to bottom, left to right, and right to the camera .
