Fire prevention, theft prevention and follow-selling prevention! Easily save the sellers who are followed by others


Follow-selling is a common topic among Amazon sellers. It has been mentioned countless times! Many sellers say that they are on guard day and night, but the most difficult thing to prevent is follow-selling.


I believe that sellers on Amazon are aware that selling by following others is a bad behavior of stealing the success of others' labor without working for it. Not only that, selling by following others will also cause the seller's sales to drop, the golden shopping cart to be snatched away, and even attract bad reviews for no reason... This is why everyone hates selling by following others so much now!


Recently, many brand sellers have expressed that they are a bit overwhelmed. Let’s take a look at what the following sellers have to say.


A

Seller A:

My popular product links are often copied by others, resulting in more and more negative reviews. The reviews reflect that the products I received from other brands are of poor quality. I am so helpless. What can I do with the negative reviews left on my listings?


B

Seller B:

My price is the lowest but I can’t get into the shopping cart, and I can’t get rid of the followers. What should I do?


C

Seller C:

Today I got rid of another FBM follower. I have never figured out what the purpose of these FBM followers who have no goods to send is. FBM fills in the logistics order number randomly? Can they receive the payment? If they can't make money, what's the point?


Some sellers even saw their orders drop by half after being copied. The products they copied were not the same as the ones they advertised, and their store rankings kept dropping. The key is that they still couldn’t catch the copycats.

Why is the act of copying sales condemned by everyone?

First of all, Amazon itself advocates this behavior, because Amazon itself is a platform that focuses on products, not stores, and customers, not sellers. Amazon's purpose is to give customers the best service experience and better choices, so if different sellers share a detail page, it will give consumers more choices.


In the eyes of many sellers, follow-selling is the most disgusting and hateful. Because I worked hard to create the listing, and I posted pictures, uploaded text, and filled in product attributes step by step, why can others follow my sales at will? And a large number of sales will be taken away in a short period of time. At this time, you have to find ways to drive away these follow-selling.



On the one hand, because the sellers keep lowering the product prices, it affects our interests. In many cases, the sellers’ prices are too low, which affects our minimum price standard during the flash sale . Some sellers are serious about following the sellers and keep lowering their prices to get back their sales. But even if the prices are lowered, they can’t get the shopping cart back from the sellers. What should we do? What about the “night walkers” who maliciously follow the sellers in the middle of the night and disappear in the morning? What should we do if the sellers who are followed by the sellers ask the service providers to drive them away but the more they are driven away, how to effectively drive away the sellers? How to deal with the problems like these?

How to effectively drive away copycat sales?

There are several general treatment methods:


1. Contact the followers and send them a warning email, informing them of the actions that will be taken if the products are not removed from the shelves. Some followers are actually lucky and think that they will not be discovered by the other party. Some will take the initiative to remove the products after receiving the warning email.


2. You can file a complaint with the platform . This method is time-consuming and energy-consuming, but the effect is not obvious. Some sellers will exploit loopholes in the platform. Of course, if the seller has registered the brand on the platform, the probability of success is relatively high.


3. Sending a lawyer's letter to persuade the copy-sellers to quit is more deterrent and the copy-sellers are more likely to give up.


If you want to completely avoid being copied or minimize the negative impact of being copied, there are two ways: one is to make the product barrier high enough , which requires sellers to invest a lot of money in product research and development. The other is to build your own brand to reduce the negative effects of being copied.


Of course, these methods are effective, but they are common practices, and many copycats know how to avoid them smoothly.
