The test report was fake and the seller’s account was blocked

Everyone who works for Amazon knows that many products require professional test reports to pass the review, because it is not uncommon for products to be recalled due to non-compliance with standards. However, the third-party testing community is also mixed, and if the report is fake, the consequences may be irreversible.

An insider broke the news to the editor that a seller’s account was recently blocked because of this:

The seller entered Amazon in 2019 and sold small appliances, mainly electric stew pots. At that time, the requirements for listing were not very high and the test reports were not very formal. However, recently, Amazon required a quality report for the product, so the seller found the whistleblower (a third party who did the testing).

The whistleblower's offer was a bit high, and the seller finally agreed after much hesitation, and sent a sample for structural inspection. After preliminary testing, this electric stew pot did not meet safety standards . At this time, it was discovered that there was still room for recovery if it was handled in time, but the seller encountered another third party.

The third party, relying on its early success stories on Amazon, assured the seller that the problem could be solved for a few thousand dollars. With all the sweet talk and especially the lure of price, the seller naturally chose to believe it.

Then the seller got the report and uploaded it to the backend, but within a few days, the test report was found to have problems. Because of the safety risks and good sales, the seller received the bad news that his account was blocked and his funds were frozen. Later, he found out that the content of the report was completely irrelevant. He was greedy for a short-term bargain, but the price he paid was that his entire store was blocked ...

According to the whistleblower, a regular test report usually takes 20-25 days, while a fake one can be done in as little as three days. If you compare the real and fake reports together, you can see how perfunctory they are.

The real test report has very detailed contents, involving dozens of test items, while the fake one has only a few lines, and the test items are only a few categories of appearance, and there is not even a list of components. Not only that, even the few items on it are all fabricated.

Moreover, the whistleblower also revealed that many people come to ask about the price every day, but they still choose small companies in the end. The reason for this is either because they are greedy for small profits or they are hoping for luck.

Money that shouldn't be saved is worth spending. Sellers should also take this as a warning and never have any bad thoughts on the test report. No matter what category you are in, product quality should be put first. You should be responsible for the product and even more so for the consumers. High standards are a supervision rather than a constraint for sellers.
