Amazon tightens its investment policy! The "business scope" review is coming again...
|
Amazon tightens investment policies Recently, some sellers reported that they have registered a new account for almost a month, but the merchant link is still not available. Some merchant managers have outrageous requirements for opening a store, requiring factory or product certification and R mark or TM receipt . This makes small sellers wonder: Does Amazon no longer need small sellers to join?
▲ The picture comes from the Internet Feedback from a seller who registered on the US site. The seller mentioned that when he registered his store, the investment manager required him to provide product certification and a contract with the factory before he could register.
▲ The picture comes from the Internet 1. Own factory, the factory has a third-party inspection report or ISO certification 2. Both the R mark and TM mark are acceptable. 3. If you don’t have your own factory, it’s also OK if your stable cooperative factory has the above qualifications and is willing to provide you with the ability to open a store on Amazon. 4. The category is suitable for B-end consumer purchases, while the fashion category is not suitable for corporate purchases.
The download time has been extended In addition to the higher requirements for registration qualifications, the time it takes to register with Amazon has also increased significantly. Some sellers said that their materials were as formal as possible, but they still haven’t been linked after submitting the information for more than 14 days, and some have been for more than a month. Self-registration also requires video verification.
More and more sellers are joining Amazon. As of March 21, the Amazon marketplace has added 295,000 new sellers in 2021. This number is equivalent to 3,734 sellers per day, 155 sellers per hour, and 2 sellers per minute. By the end of this year, 1.4 million new sellers will join the platform. In such a hot situation, the quality of sellers varies, and Amazon is also tightening its investment policies, presumably in an attempt to avoid the uneven quality of sellers on the platform from the source.
Amazon has been gradually guiding high-quality sellers such as factories and brands to settle in, so the qualification review of sellers is more stringent , and sellers need to improve their qualifications as much as possible. Amazon frequently sends “business scope” review emails Recently, many sellers have reported that even if they did not receive emails regarding video review, they still received emails regarding business scope review. The email stated: "Please confirm the representative items of the products and categories you intend to sell in your Amazon seller platform account, and make sure that your company can conduct online sales. If the products you will sell in your Amazon seller account are not consistent with the business scope of your existing business license, please go to the local industrial and commercial bureau to apply to update your company's business scope to match the product categories you plan to release on Amazon." Amazon reminds that sellers can make changes to their business scope, for example, adding "e-commerce" or "conducting business activities through the Internet". Sellers who have received relevant review notifications need to change their company’s business scope. If the change takes a long time, they can send an email to Amazon to explain the situation and request an extension of the review period. After the seller encountered the video verification, he became confused again: “We registered as an advertising company, so why didn’t we register as an e-commerce company in the first place??” "We met YKC at the European site, and then received this email..." A method suggested by sellers is that if there is no relevant business scope, you can go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to modify it and apply to add the business license scope. When registering a company at the beginning, you also need to pay attention to the company's business scope to avoid more trouble in the future. Due to customer service error, 15,000 pieces of inventory were removed Recently, a seller reported in the community that a system bug caused the sku to map to the wrong Asin, resulting in 15,000 unsaleable stocks! Customer service asked the seller to remove all... According to his description, he had two independent links for the same product in different colors: sku01 and sku02. When he consulted about merging the variants, the customer service made a mistake and directly merged the two products. Although the seller had unpacked it in time, a big problem still occurred: the ASIN corresponding to Sku01 on the "Inventory Management" page was correct. However, the corresponding asin on the "No inventory for sale" page is Sku02, which causes Sku01 inventory to be unsaleable, and only sku02 can be sold normally. I opened many cases to ask customer service, and most of them directly said to remove it. But the total inventory of sku01 is 15,000, which has a great impact. I also tried to delete both links using the template, and then restore them with the template after 24 hours, but the same problem cannot be solved. And there are more than one seller who encountered a similar situation! Seller 1: I have encountered this before. What’s worse is that the customer service representative made the wrong mapping the second time! Seller 2: I also encountered this problem recently. I contacted customer service and used this method. However, the customer service did not say that I had to wait for 24 hours. I refreshed the template for a long time and opened several cases but still could not solve it. In the end, I had to move the warehouse and change the label. This kind of thing still requires persistence. It hurts! In response to this situation that has frequently occurred recently, some sellers have also provided solutions: The data for managing inventory and managing FBA inventory are inconsistent. In this case, open a few more cases and tell them clearly which ASIN should correspond to which SKU and FNSKU. If you meet an experienced customer service, it can be solved. This is a system problem. Don't remove it! I can only say that the level of Amazon’s customer service is also uneven. If you encounter problems, you might as well open a few more cases. You will always meet experienced and kind customer service! *The article comes from the Internet. If there is any infringement, please contact us to delete it. |
