Unable to hold on any longer, the seller was blocked for clearing out inventory!

If products that have not been sold for a long time are kept in Amazon's warehouse, they will only incur more costs, but if they are recycled, it will also be a considerable expense.

Taking all these factors into consideration, many sellers will finally grit their teeth and discard all the unsalable products. However, a recent news shows that even directly discarding the products may cause problems.

It is understood that a woman in Virginia, USA, recently reported that she inexplicably received hundreds of packages from Amazon, but she had not placed any orders recently.

According to local media reports, the packages contained about 1,000 headlamps for running and cycling, 800 glue guns and dozens of children's binoculars.

The woman said that the recipient of these packages was called "Lixiao Zhang", but there was no one with this name here. In order to deal with these packages, the woman took these things and ran around the town, asking everyone she met if they knew a person named "Lixiao Zhang", but most people thought she seemed to be a little crazy.

At first, the woman thought she might be the victim of a fake order scam, where merchants send their products to a random address in order to improve the product rating.

However, the real situation does not seem to be the case. According to local media investigations, this situation is likely that the seller is clearing out the unsold inventory in the warehouse.

"It all comes down to money," said New York Attorney CJ Rosenbaum, who represents Amazon sellers. "There are many Chinese sellers on the Amazon platform, and when there are products that cannot be sold, it is even cheaper to just discard them than to recycle them. "

After the incident was exposed, Amazon launched an investigation and found that the seller "Lixiao Zhang" violated the platform's relevant regulations. Finally, it decided to block the account.

Local media quoted an Amazon spokesperson as saying that there is no tolerance for this type of behavior on the Amazon platform, and we will continue to take all measures to protect our sellers and consumers and hold bad actors accountable.

This incident also sounded a wake-up call for sellers. Many sellers may not have thought that they would still violate the platform rules even if they did not want the goods. After this incident, sellers may need to think twice before they encounter such a situation in the future.
