Tens of thousands of stores were closed down! Did someone earn a house from this?

The past two days may be the longest weekend Amazon sellers have experienced this year. Just one day after the Review glitch, a large number of Amazon sellers were shocked to find that their stores were banned on Saturday morning. (Click here for details)

How many stores were affected and closed?

There is no exact number, but there is a very intuitive data, even the search volume of keywords has decreased compared to before. How many stores must be closed to cause this effect...

This time, a large number of sellers’ stores were banned. Logically, the happiest people should be the service providers who provided the unblocking services.

As the last resort for sellers who have access to "mysterious internal channels", are the methods of unblocking service providers still effective in the face of this store closure, which is extremely rare in scale and intensity?

I found a service provider in WeChat Moments and will show you a timeline of how the style of his WeChat Moments ads suddenly changed in the past two days. This will show how serious this store closure is.

However, this morning, the service provider's attitude suddenly did a 180-degree Thomas spiral backflip, which was completely opposite to the confidence on Saturday.

For various reasons, I didn’t post the screenshots, but as long as there is a service provider in the circle of friends who can unblock it, most of the Moments he posted in the past two days are in this style.

It seems that the unblocking service provider not only failed to make a profit on the 25th, but was surprised to find two days later that it had no way to deal with this closure.

In fact, from this notification email from Amazon, we can also see that this action of closing stores and freezing funds is completely different from previous ones.

As usual, I’ll post the official email picture first, and then I’ll mark some differences in the picture.

In the past, when a store was closed due to abuse of variants or manipulation of reviews, the store was often in a suspended state, and sellers could appeal by clicking the Appeal button.

In this email from Amazon, the official wording was very tough, directly saying "the account has been deactivated and the funds will not be given to you."

Judging from Amazon's official attitude and the fact that the service provider is unable to resolve the store closure, the intensity and scope of this store closure against Review can be said to be the strictest and widest in history.

Only accounts that have been mistakenly killed have a chance to appeal back. In addition, the sellers who have recently appealed must have flooded the official customer service mailbox, so even if you can appeal back, it will take a lot of time.

1. Judging from the reaction of the service providers this time, this store closure is different from any previous ones. We should be more cautious when choosing service providers who claim that they can handle the problem.

2. There are definitely sellers who use templates to file their own complaints. Templates are certainly a time-saving and labor-saving method, but if used improperly, the consequences can be quite serious.

After all, it is a matter of life and death for the store, so when using templates, try to only adopt the format and inspiration, and edit the language yourself to increase the chances of having your appeal approved.

3. If the seller is killed by mistake, you can try to get the store back by contacting the service provider or filing a complaint yourself.

But if there are any violations, don’t hold out too much hope, as Amazon is serious about closing the store this time.

Even the service providers who specialize in unblocking stores are powerless in the face of Amazon's closure of stores this time. Amazon is really determined to rectify the current violations and skirting practices on the platform.

It is still our consistent point of view that it is really difficult to survive with black technology and illegal means. Amazon is also constantly proving through actions that now only compliant operational sellers can survive.
