For cross-border sellers:

" I've used all my shopping money to buy goods, but now we're facing the 'peak season' which couldn't be any slower..."

" The freight station is closed, and the delivery is cold! All major platforms are still vigorously suppressing it. Infringing stores are closed and products are removed from the shelves. Nothing goes smoothly!"

"There are only a dozen days left until Black Friday, it's cool..."

Shanghai Pudong Airport Cargo Terminal is closed! Shipments are suspended!

Yesterday, a case of COVID-19 was confirmed at the West Cargo Terminal of Shanghai Pudong Airport. The West Cargo Terminal was immediately closed for testing, and all import and export cargo will be affected.

A freight forwarder issued a notice saying: " According to the notice from China Eastern Airlines Disease Control, all goods in the entire warehouse area are not allowed to move today, and no personnel are allowed to leave the China Eastern Airlines West Area. The Seventh Section of Customs has notified to suspend inspection for one day, and await further notice. "


At present, all relevant personnel on site of China Eastern Airlines are undergoing nucleic acid testing . The goods in the warehouses of Shanghai Logistics Phase II and Phase III cannot be shipped for the time being , and the specific shipping time will be notified separately after the test results are received.


The freight forwarder also stated that based on the current situation, goods cannot be shipped through Shanghai Pudong Airport, so those who need to ship goods urgently should not consider Pudong Airport.


A seller said: The freight forwarder told me today that the goods could not be shipped from Pudong Airport. I was stunned at the time. Now the goods are almost out of stock. When encountering such a thing again, I can only raise the price first.


The latest news shows that the Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention has completed testing of 186 close contacts, 8,717 related personnel, and 524 environmental samples, and all test results are negative . The testing has been completed and I believe that the export of goods will be able to proceed smoothly soon.

EPS Law Firm strikes again, and a large number of accounts are frozen

A few days ago, many Wish sellers said that they were sued by EPS Law Firm. The product involved was: Baseboard Buddy lazy mop . EPS Law Firm usually hides the case, so by the time the sellers found out, their accounts had already been frozen.


The Baseboard Buddy lazy mop represented by EPS Law Firm this time is a popular "lazy tool" all over the world. It is almost a must-have for people at home, especially during the epidemic when people are confined at home. It is active on the best-selling lists of almost all platforms.


Baseboard Buddy belongs to ALLSTAR MARKETING GROUP, and the products that the company has represented include: Magic Mesh magnetic door curtain, ICE GEINE ice bucket, MagicBax earring holder, Snuggie lazy blanket, TrueTouch pet gloves, Socket Shelf , etc.


It is understood that a total of 53 Wish accounts have been prosecuted. The Wish backend TRO interface shows that the store has been suspended and there is a fine for freezing .

And yesterday, AliExpress and Alibaba International Station were also targeted. 74 AliExpress and Alibaba International Station stores were complained about, and some sellers were fined.


According to EPS Law Firm’s practice, other platforms will also be frozen one after another, and sellers of this product should remove it from the shelves immediately .


It is worth noting that all the product images on the Baseboard Buddy website are copyrighted, so even if the word trademark is not used directly but the image appears , it is still considered infringement. The risk is also very high if the same title separates two words and the product is the same.


Furthermore, all other products under the plaintiff company ALLSTAR MARKETING GROUP are dangerous, some of which have already been represented, and there is a high possibility of cases occurring for those that have not yet been represented.


Sellers are probably familiar with the law firm Epstein Drangel LLP (EPS for short). The firm mainly collects evidence through screenshots, and has high requirements for sellers to reach a settlement. The settlement amount is mainly based on the sales volume of the infringing products. The higher the sales volume of the products, the higher the settlement amount . The law firm is very efficient. It only takes about a week from the first case to the freezing, which does not leave much time for sellers to respond and deal with the case.

eBay and Amazon block such products

Tomorrow is Singles' Day, but November 11 has a special meaning in the UK.


Every November 11th is the British Veterans Day to commemorate the martyrs of the war . From the Queen to the common people, everyone wears poppies to express their condolences. The Royal British Legion (RBL) has set up a fundraising fund to collect donations through activities such as selling corsages to help British soldiers and their families.



And with the COVID-19 pandemic raging this year and the UK under lockdown again, more people will buy poppy-themed products online .


Many sellers have also spotted this business opportunity and sold such products on Amazon and eBay , including popular lapel pins, metal and felt badges and brooches, as well as window stickers that read "I support the Royal British Legion" and football scarves that read "Don't forget". However, none of the proceeds from these products are donated to charity .


RBL Senior Legal Adviser Singh-Khela therefore urged the public to purchase poppy commemorative pins through the official RBL Poppy Appeal store and said that any fraudsters who attempt to illegally gain benefits from counterfeit items will be actively pursued .


eBay and Amazon said people can only buy such products through RBL official stores and other sellers are not allowed to sell such products.


eBay also uses filters to block and remove listings that violate its policies, and in the last week of October alone, eBay blocked nearly 10,000 memorial-related products .
