Brands disappear without reason, products unsalable? Amazon sellers face constant crisis

Cross-border e-commerce sellers have had a hard time recently. It is not easy to survive the account blocking storm, and it is even more difficult to survive in such a market environment.

In today's environment, sellers not only have to face rising costs, plummeting profits, inventory backlogs, and halved order volumes, but they also have to endure the fear and even "unexpected disasters" brought about by Amazon's system bugs from time to time .

The brand name was changed and the brand registration was inexplicably revoked. Sellers: What’s going on?

Recently, many Amazon sellers have stated that the store’s brand has been inexplicably modified, and the product listings are displayed normally in the background, but appear to be split up in the foreground and cannot be sold normally.

Seller A: The sub-bodies of all links to our store products have been split.

Seller B: It’s strange. The front end shows that it is split, but the back end is normal.

Seller C: I have also encountered this situation. The brand names of the products have all been changed to uppercase.

After communicating with the seller, the editor found that the reason why the product was split on the front desk was basically because its brand name was suddenly changed from lowercase letters to uppercase letters.

This situation resulted in changes to the brand registration or uploaded products that used lowercase brand names, causing bugs in the product listings and causing them to be split.

However, some sellers said: "I also used lowercase letters, and everything is normal now." This shows that not all sellers have encountered this situation, and there may be a certain probability problem.

In fact, under normal circumstances, lowercase and uppercase letters convey the same meaning, so sellers basically don’t care. But this time, the brand name was suddenly forced to be uppercase, and the products were broken up, and the sellers were still very confused.

It is reported that this operation may be related to Amazon’s recent policy changes. However, sellers should pay attention to Amazon’s email notifications and check the changes in the front desk in time to find out the specific situation.

In addition, sellers have recently encountered another strange thing: their brand registration was inexplicably revoked .

The editor learned that some sellers in the seller group said that the brand registration was lost without any notification, and it was directly displayed that no brand was registered . Moreover, the sellers were unable to register again. After re-applying, it showed that the brand name had been registered. On the one hand, the registration was cancelled, and on the other hand, it was impossible to re-register. The sellers fell into a vicious circle and didn't know how to save their brands.

In this regard, some sellers said that this is a bug that has appeared again . Amazon has problems from time to time. Last year, it was gradually restored in about one or two weeks. However, some sellers said that after contacting the Amazon brand team, it was basically restored in about three days.

In short, Amazon’s occasional “sexy” operations really make sellers feel uneasy, and they can’t help but sigh: It’s so difficult to be a qualified Amazon employee!

"Sales volume increases, while inventory capacity decreases." Has the sellers' inventory capacity been cut to the minimum?

Every family has its own problems. In addition to the sellers who are facing the above difficulties, many sellers are also worried about their inventory capacity. Recently, a large number of sellers have been clearing out their warehouses and selling off their goods. The series of actions of clearing out their inventory with tears is really "pitiful".

The peak season has arrived, but having no goods to ship has become the biggest headache for a large number of sellers.

Recently, some sellers have expressed in the seller group that their sales volume is obviously increasing, but the inventory capacity is decreasing again and again . What is Amazon trying to do?

From Amazon's updated policy, we can learn that sellers can free up more storage space for goods by selling inventory, removing or disposing of slow-moving inventory, and canceling non-urgent unshipped items.

Therefore, referring to the above policy content, some sellers believe that if sales are increasing, then the storage capacity should also increase accordingly. However, at present, many sellers are actually experiencing the exact opposite situation. One practitioner said that the more sales increase, the more the storage capacity decreases, which is too weird!

The day before yesterday, a seller reported to the editor that after the storage capacity was updated, he found that his already pitifully small storage capacity had been cut again, and he was completely unable to ship goods . He felt that he could not make a living like this. He was really not given any way out!

In fact, sellers have been troubled by the storage capacity problem for a long time. In July, some sellers had already experienced the "roller coaster" feeling, with storage capacity rising and falling sharply in a very short period of time. Just when they saw hope, they were met with expected disappointment. Some sellers even said that the goods that could be shipped out of the store were less than one-tenth of the usual amount, and the shipment volume had also dropped more than a little.

At present, many sellers who have encountered this dilemma have begun to think of various ways and try to clear inventory through various channels to solve the problem of storage capacity. However, the editor also reminds all sellers to use safe and compliant methods, otherwise it will bring potential risks to the account.

Canada Station’s storage capacity policy updated, sellers: There is finally hope for the second half of the year

Yesterday, Amazon released a new announcement to adjust the replenishment and storage restrictions on the Canadian site.

The announcement showed that the inventory limit of the Canadian operations center was temporarily reduced in May. Now, sellers can store two months of inventory in the operations center.

According to the announcement, although the current operating capacity has not yet returned to normal levels, the situation is continuing to improve. In August, the Canadian station will increase the recruitment of talents in the existing operation center and will open four new operation centers between August and November this year .

As stated in the announcement, in May, when other sites announced the relaxation of shipping restrictions, the Canadian site was "unique" and announced the tightening of inventory restrictions. At that time, a large number of sellers on the Canadian site reported that the storage capacity and shipping quantity had dropped sharply, and some sellers' total inventory dropped from 20,000 to 7,000 . The sellers smiled helplessly: "Even if we have the fate of explosive orders, we don't have the ability to ship!"

Now, this once controversial site has finally announced the relaxation of its storage capacity restrictions. Many sellers were dumbfounded and said, "The Canadian site has always been 'only giving slaps but no candy'. Is it giving candy this time?", "Happiness came too suddenly. There is finally hope in the second half of the year."

Although the Canadian site may not be the main market for some sellers, Amazon's expansion of the Canadian site's inventory capacity is undoubtedly good news for sellers. This may mean that there will be a glimmer of hope in the second half of the year, and the road to store operations will be relatively smooth. At present, what all Canadian site sellers have to do is to increase sales as much as possible. For those products that are really not selling well, it is better to clear them out as soon as possible!
