Is it worse to work for Amazon than to collect waste? A boss offered a base salary of 20,000 to retain Amazon employees, but...
Recently, Maizi saw a post on the Zhiwubuyan forum by a seller doing business on Amazon in a fourth-tier city, saying that when he was selling waste cardboard boxes, a scrap collector immediately guessed his identity.



The seller was quite surprised. He didn't expect that there were people in fourth-tier cities who knew about Amazon. Is Amazon so popular? Or is there some other reason?

But wow, what’s incredible is that the comments are all off topic, talking about the benefits of collecting waste…

Indeed, many people subconsciously think that few people in fourth-tier cities know about Amazon, and at most they know about cross-border e-commerce and foreign trade. This shows that the guy who collects waste is also a boy with a story! The comments under the post are very lively:

Some people said that they underestimated the profits from collecting waste . Now they have learned something new!

Some people also asked themselves whether it was too late to collect waste now?

There are even people who are seriously analyzing the market...

The discussion is getting more and more heated. People who don’t know really think that Amazon is useless and can’t make money...

Maizi can't help but wonder if the Amazon sellers in the forum are trying to get readers to give up Amazon and start collecting scraps in order to reduce their own competitive pressure?

Have you forgotten the Amazon sellers at Shenzhen Bay No. 1 ? After all, the Internet has memory. After all, with the current rising trend of cross-border e-commerce, there will be more and more merchants entering Amazon, and more and more Amazon operation talents.

Shenzhen Bay No. 1 was snapped up by Amazon sellers, and top 985 and 211 students flocked to Amazon


Last year, the news that " House No. 1 in Shenzhen Bay was snapped up by Amazon sellers " not only swept the cross-border circle, but also went beyond the circle. Many laymen were attracted by Amazon's operations and had fantasies about them.


Although it may sound a bit exaggerated, it is undeniable that Amazon did make a big purchase and bought a house at Shenzhen Bay No. 1 worth over 100 million yuan.


The popularity of cross-border e-commerce has made many people see "business opportunities" and they have flocked into cross-border e-commerce, including many top students from 985 and 211 universities and overseas returnees.


Some sellers reported that their company had received many talents from 985 and 211 universities this year, and they speculated that they might just come to learn and then go out on their own after acquiring skills.

The influx of top students has added a touch of mystery to cross-border e-commerce, and the high salary has also increased the appeal of Amazon operations positions. Maizi casually searched for Amazon operations positions on the recruitment platform and found:

The basic salary starts at 8k, and commissions and bonuses are calculated separately .


Although the salaries on recruitment websites are somewhat exaggerated, Maizi also learned about the industry salaries of many real sellers on the forum and shared them with you.


Seller A: Basic salary is 8k, work weekdays, get off work on time, commission is based on gross profit. Our company's commission is calculated based on 5% of gross profit for 0-250,000 RMB.


Seller B: One and a half years, base salary 1.5, commission gross profit 4. Working on Amazon is not about time, but experience.


Seller C: Pinghu, Shenzhen, two and a half years of boutique experience, basic salary: 13-15, commission is 2-3 points of team gross profit, no overtime on both weekends and holidays.

Seller D: 2.5 years of experience, base salary 8K, commission of 20% of net profit, two days off a week, no need to punch in, basically start work at 10am and leave at 5pm, but except for packing the goods, you have to do everything by yourself.


According to the feedback from sellers in the forum, in Shenzhen, it is common for operators to have a base salary of 6-8K. As for commissions, the calculation methods of each company are different, and it is relatively easy to have a comprehensive salary of over 10,000. Of course, there are definitely exceptions.

For example, yesterday Maizi received a WeChat message from a friend, who said: After he proposed to resign, his boss offered him a base salary of 20,000 to retain him , but he refused...

It is true that comparing yourself to others can only make you angry. Maizi's friend can speak English, German and Japanese. As for the reason for leaving, he only left a message to Maizi: " The world is so big, I want to go and see it. "


Indeed, according to feedback from industry professionals, some businesses can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan in commissions in just one month during the peak season , and some businesses can earn more than 500,000 yuan in commissions in a year . In summary, there are many people who make money on Amazon!

Finally, what Maizi wants to say is that if you want to operate on Amazon, you should calm down, build your own listings, find the right business opportunities, and sell them in big orders.
