Amazon bans are coming again! Links are being deleted like crazy, and the ban on sales is causing panic among sellers


Cross-border e-commerce sellers who have been deeply involved in the US market have many expectations for Biden's election, including giving money to save orders, stabilizing the US dollar exchange rate, and controlling the epidemic. However, many sellers are also worried that after Biden becomes president, he may issue a blockade order to effectively control the epidemic, which will deal a heavy blow to cross-border logistics.


Biden wins, Trump loses


The drama of the US election finally came to a conclusion after five days of passionate performances by Trump and Biden. Biden defeated Trump with 290 votes and 214 votes, and was elected president ( Trump currently refuses to admit defeat )!


Before the results came out, many sellers were focused on the US election. They refreshed the voting page several times, and worried about how much fun they would lose if Trump lost the election. After all, Trump has become the funny guy...

According to foreign media reports, Trump was photographed by reporters with tears in his eyes when he learned that Biden won the election. In the photo, Trump's eyes were blurred with tears and he looked very sad ...


If I hadn’t known that hundreds of thousands of people died in the United States due to the epidemic, I would have been moved! Could it be that Trump is doing another "fan abuse"?

Since Trump is not the center of his debut, no matter how he abuses his fans, before Trump packs up and leaves the White House, it is better to turn his attention to Biden, who is about to take office for four years!


As early as the beginning of the US election, some seller friends asked: " Whether Trump or Biden is president, will it be better for us to do cross-border e-commerce? "

As long as you know that their position is "President of the United States", you will know that there is only one answer. The editor has summarized a few points, but they are just personal opinions. You are welcome to criticize and correct them.

I believe that all sellers still remember the happy feeling when orders soared after Trump first issued subsidies to Americans.

Perhaps, the first thing Biden will do after taking office will be to issue subsidies to mend the divide between the two factions of the people . During the campaign stage when Biden and Trump were fighting wits and courage, Trump, after being attacked countless times by the House of Representatives, proposed a $1.9 trillion subsidy plan for Americans. However, the Democratic Party has always refused to pass it on the grounds that the subsidy amount is too small. In the end, the Trump administration increased it from the initial $2.2 trillion to $2.4 trillion. In fact, the Democratic Party just doesn't want Trump to pass this subsidy plan before the election, so that Trump can get more votes.

Therefore, once Biden takes office, Americans may have more money in their pockets. At this time, relatively affordable products on e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and eBay will have a big boom. But this boom should not occur until after January. Maybe this year, the Spring Festival holiday of all sellers may have to be taken later~



Of course, Trump has left behind a lot of mess. How will Biden clean it up after taking office?

In his acceptance speech, he said that the United States will still experience a "dark winter" of the epidemic, but the COVID-19 task force will follow scientific guidance, start work from that day, and lead the American people to defeat the epidemic.

In other words, the demand for epidemic prevention materials in the United States will explode again! Due to the election, the second outbreak of the epidemic in the United States was ignored by the world. In fact, Biden supports the people to actively fight the epidemic. Now the epidemic in the United States has broken out again on a large scale. Once Biden takes office, he will actively promote the control of the epidemic and hope to bring basic conditions for the economic recovery of the United States. This is his campaign promise and something that must be done. Then, this brings more opportunities for Chinese cross-border sellers engaged in epidemic prevention materials.



The repeated outbreaks of the epidemic have brought about another outbreak of household goods! The arrival of winter will further increase the number of indoor activities for Americans, including indoor household goods, indoor sports equipment, etc.

An Amazon seller said that she has received orders for robot vacuum cleaners worth more than RMB 1 million per day this year. These indoor products will continue to sell well in the coming peak season...


Outdoor products can now start preparing for the outbreak in 3-6 months. After Biden takes office, he will mobilize all the media controlled by the Democratic Party to educate the public, and it is possible to control the epidemic in a relatively short period of time. Once the epidemic is under control, a large number of Americans will know how to properly prevent the new coronavirus epidemic, and at this time, normal outdoor activities will be carried out quickly.

Just like the Chinese, in fact, everyone did not neglect outdoor physical exercise during and after the epidemic, and major parks were also opened one after another after taking precautions.


The market for gun accessories in the US market will be hit. For many sellers in the US market, gun accessories and maintenance products have always been highly profitable products.

In the future, there may not be such a good opportunity. Because Biden came to power, they are strongly opposed to the American people having guns. During the Obama administration, they always strongly condemned those gun violence incidents. In fact, during Trump's tenure, there were several strong gun violence incidents in the United States, but they were all ignored by Trump because Trump supports traditional companies such as military firearms.

The Democratic Party seems to place more emphasis on influencing the public ideologically, so it controls the media.


Anyway, Biden's election as the 46th President of the United States has more advantages than disadvantages for Chinese e-commerce sellers . It is foreseeable that there will be greater short-term benefits, but it is difficult to say about long-term benefits.

In fact, for Amazon sellers, it doesn’t matter who is elected, because sellers are most concerned about whether their orders will be affected, and they are worried that Amazon will cause trouble again. For example, the light strip category has been turbulent recently, and many sellers’ listings have been deleted.

Light strip category listings are being deleted like crazy


A seller revealed that Amazon has been frantically rectifying the light strip market recently. Many links of the light strip category have been deleted, and many of them are from the top 50 sellers. Light strips are a hot product during the Christmas season, and Amazon's sudden move really caught the sellers off guard.



The editor consulted several sellers of light strips and found that the light strip category is not popular at ordinary times, but it is extremely fierce during peak seasons such as Christmas! In the previous peak seasons, this category has caused a lot of trouble. Not only does the platform require various UL certifications, but it is also common for sellers to do things against each other.


Around this time last year, a small seller on the Japanese site caused trouble, resulting in the removal of all sellers of the light strip category on the Amazon Japan site except for those operating their own products. This caused a bloody storm at the time.

At present, most of the sellers on the platform who are still safe have shortened their titles and modified the main and auxiliary pictures. Sellers have said that they are now trembling with fear and hope that no more trouble will happen.

UPS increases peak season surcharges


Although the recent logistics problems have been improved to a certain extent, it is still the peak season after all, and many logistics companies will charge peak season surcharges, and logistics costs will increase again.

Last week, a seller said that he received an email from the Guangdong Provincial Post Office informing him that prices would increase starting November 7, and UPS also recently raised its peak season surcharge.


It is understood that the price of UPS shipments to the United States was previously 16.2 yuan/kg, but it increased to 23.4 yuan/kg from November 8. The price of UPS shipments to Europe increased from 10.8 yuan/kg to 16.2 yuan/kg.

Some freight forwarders said that since there are more goods in the peak season, UPS shipments still need to be queued. UPS shipments to the United States require 1-2 days to queue, and shipments to Europe require 3-4 days to queue .

During the peak season, Amazon warehouses will also slow down the processing of shipments due to the surge in the number of goods, and if the warehouses are overwhelmed, they may refuse to accept shipments.


Don't use yellow tape to seal the shipping box


In addition, freight forwarders have recently collectively posted on WeChat Moments to remind sellers: Please do not use yellow tape when sealing the boxes for shipment to avoid unnecessary delays!


It is reported that recently, when the customs inspected e-commerce goods, they found many cases of goods sealed with yellow tape. After opening the boxes, sensitive goods and prohibited items were found. Now the customs requires that all goods sealed with yellow tape should be subject to spot checks and even sent to the disposal department for processing . In order to speed up the customs clearance time, it is now recommended that sellers must use transparent tape when packing goods to avoid unnecessary spot checks and delays in shipment.


In fact, as early as two years ago, there was a rumor in the industry that for all shipments from Amazon warehouses, colored tape was not allowed to be used for packaging cartons (only transparent tape could be used), and that untidy and irregular cartons would not be accepted .

However, when the seller asked the customer service staff about this matter, the other party said that they had not received this notification and the relevant help page had not changed at present.


The authenticity of the freight forwarding news has yet to be verified, but at present, it is likely to be true, and all sellers should be prepared.


It is said that 2020 is the year of doing Amazon, but the editor feels that it is not easy to do Amazon every year, especially when it comes to new products!

Listings have no reviews and low rankings! It is difficult to achieve conversion without orders , and many sellers are worried about getting orders.
