Terrible! New Year's gift - the "life-demanding email" from my brother-in-law arrives!

Amazon has been making a lot of moves recently, and many sellers lament that it is getting harder every year...

Look, on the last day of 2019, my brother-in-law didn’t let the sellers have an easy time either, and sent a “New Year’s gift” to all the sellers!

Amazon bulk email

Just when everyone was preparing to happily spend New Year’s Eve, many sellers received a devilish email from their brother-in-law—"What to do if you encounter an account review? Official guidance is here!"

The email content is as follows:

It is understood that not only sellers in the US site received this email, but also sellers in Japan and Europe! Receiving a "life-demanding email" from my brother-in-law at this time of New Year's Eve is really a headache.

After all, it has only been 6 days since my brother-in-law sent a group message about the "Christmas gift" a few days ago...

My brother-in-law clearly stated in the email that sellers are not allowed to manipulate ratings, feedback and reviews, and if the seller continues in this situation, it may lead to account deactivation!

Of course, my brother-in-law gave the seller a temporary bomb, and he was happily on vacation with his lover Sanchez~

According to the Daily Mail on December 25, the world's richest man Jeff Bezos and his new girlfriend Lauren Sanchez were on vacation at the Caribbean beach, and the two appeared in people's sight with their arms clasped together. Sanchez's hot body and huge diamond ring attracted everyone's attention.

The little cutie can only sigh, it’s great to be rich!

The hard-working sellers who are still working on New Year's Eve, not only have no orders, but also have to worry about their accounts being suddenly blocked. How miserable it is.

If I think about it carefully, the email on Christmas Eve was more like a warning, while the email on New Year's Eve was more like an advance notice. Does this mean that my brother-in-law is really going to block the account?

Late notification of account suspension

I wonder if you still remember that on July 17, 2019, local time, the German Bundeskartellamt (Federal Cartel Office) issued a document titled: We have brought far-reaching improvements to the business terms for Amazon's third-party sellers.

My brother-in-law then gave in and sent emails to some sellers, saying that changes would be made to the European Business Solutions Agreement, which would take effect on August 16.

This means that after August 16, 2019, Brother-in-law must give 30 days’ notice before blocking an account! This news made the sellers very happy, but, despite saying so, Brother-in-law never fulfilled his promise...

Judging from this, my brother-in-law may have mistaken August 16 for Christmas? So, next, the seller may receive a real ban email?!

In response to this, some sellers said that sellers who received the email will not necessarily have their stores closed. Even if their accounts are suspended, there is a chance to restore them, but they will need to provide more account information to Amazon.

Therefore, sellers do not need to be too nervous. Strictly abide by the platform rules and operate safely. After all, as the second review becomes more and more stringent, the value of the account is also getting higher and higher. Only by ensuring the security of the account can long-term development be achieved!

In addition, Xiaokeai learned from the investment manager that VPS/VPN cannot be used to register an account, otherwise it is very likely to trigger a second review! For the sake of account security, sellers are best to register using a separate network cable in a clean network environment!
