The editor learned that Amazon will introduce a new simplified FBA inventory report. According to the new regulations, sellers can file claims with Amazon immediately without waiting for 30 days. This is undoubtedly a major benefit.

Good things always come with bad things. Amazon has issued new regulations. These products have added required item attributes. Products that are not filled in will be removed from the search!

In addition, with the epidemic situation abroad seemingly unstoppable, anti-lockdown demonstrations have broken out in many European countries! This familiar operation is heartbreaking!

Amazon sellers please note: products that do not fill in the required attributes will be removed from the search

Recently, Amazon has been making constant moves and frequently issuing policies. After Amazon announced a partial increase in FBA fees last week, it has now set new product attribute policies for sellers.

Yien.com learned that Amazon has issued an announcement on its European site, stating that from March 31, all consumables in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain that do not meet the new unit weight requirements mentioned below will be removed from searches. After suppressing searches for items that do not meet the new product attribute requirements, you will be able to find these items under Fix Your Product (FYP).

Affected products include the following categories: Baby, Grocery, Health and Personal Care, Beauty, Pets, Wine, and Cleaning Products. These items require a unit count attribute, which is a value (unit count, e.g., "5") and a unit type (unit count, e.g., "ounces", "counts", "grams").

For new consumable products in these categories, these are mandatory fields that must be filled out during the listing process. For existing products, sellers can submit or update unit count values ​​through the listing template or by visiting the Listing Quality Dashboard.

Sellers on the European site must pay attention. If they do not fill in the form according to Amazon’s new regulations, the product will be deleted from the search results, and sales will be greatly affected!

Amazon Introduces New Simplified FBA Inventory Reporting

When Amazon released new regulations to sellers, it also did not forget to give them some benefits. Amazon issued an announcement on the seller forum, stating that Amazon will launch a new , simplified FBA inventory report.

The enhanced report for inventory adjustments is designed to give sellers a more accurate view of adjustments to inventory levels, such as when items are deemed misplaced or damaged at an Amazon fulfillment center. Sellers ’ inventory adjustments are still available for download and online , but Amazon has added two enhancements to the report:

Online: Inventory adjustments for misplacement, damage at warehouse, and discovery will provide a link to the reconciliation adjustment on the Inventory Adjustment Report or the reimbursement transaction on the Reimbursement Report.

Downloadable Methodology: Inventory adjustments for misplacement, warehouse damage, and discovery will provide " Adjusted " and "Unadjusted " quantity columns. For example, when an inventory adjustment is reimbursed or reconciled, you will see a decrease in the unadjusted quantity but an increase in the adjusted quantity.

For all unreconciled inventory adjustments after March 19, 2021, you can file a claim with Amazon immediately without waiting 30 days .

In addition, Amazon also issued an announcement a few days ago to "ensure the accuracy of your emergency contact number". The content of the announcement is as follows ↓

Amazon will contact you using your emergency contact number if there is a serious problem with your account . Reasons we may need to contact you include:

- Your account is at risk of being deactivated

-There is a problem with one of your listings

-Critical issues that require your immediate attention

To check if the number on file is accurate, visit Seller Central, navigate to Settings, and select Notification preferences. Your emergency notification number is listed under Emergency Notifications on this page. Buyers will not see this number. It may be different than other phone numbers on file. We recommend that you provide a contact person who understands your Amazon account and the products you sell.

After Amazon issued this announcement, it sparked discussions among sellers. One seller said: “I provided the exact phone number as required by Amazon, but I received a call from Amazon Seller Service at 2 a.m., which was really infuriating…”

However, some sellers said: "A few weeks ago, there was a snowstorm that stopped all shipping in our area for a day, which resulted in many delayed packages and our performance indicators were also affected. Amazon called me and said, "Hey, your account is in danger of being deactivated because of your indicators."

The editor recommends that all sellers fill in their real phone numbers. If Amazon calls about account risks, the seller can also learn the details and then make adjustments, which can reduce the risk of account suspension!

Anti-lockdown demonstrations broke out in many countries

The third wave of the epidemic in Europe has returned strongly, and the story of blockade and anti-blockade has been repeated. Foreign media reported that anti-blockade demonstrations took place in London, Manchester, Brighton, Cornwall and other places in the UK.

On March 20, an anti-lockdown protest broke out in London, England, with thousands of people taking to the streets to confront the police, with demonstrators shouting slogans such as "No masks, freedom" and "No coronavirus". Foreign media reported that many protesters threw bottles and cans at the police, and about 100 people chased the police car, punching and kicking it as it left.

In addition to the UK, Germany has also been in chaos recently. It is understood that German protesters clashed with police over coronavirus measures on Saturday, and officers used water cannons , pepper spray and batons to hit people who tried to break through police barriers. More than 20,000 people participated in the protest in the central German city of Kassel, where there were also confrontations between demonstrators and counter-protesters.

Thousands of people marched through central Kassel despite a court ban, with most not abiding by infection control protocols such as wearing masks. Some protesters are also known to have attacked officers and several journalists.

Protests against government measures to curb the pandemic also took place in several other European countries, including Austria , Britain , Finland , Romania and Switzerland. In the Netherlands, police used water cannon to disperse about 500 demonstrators who gathered at Museumplein in the capital Amsterdam .

In Switzerland, about 3,000 to 5,000 people rallied in the northwestern city of Lista to demand the lifting of coronavirus lockdown measures that have kept restaurants and other venues closed for months; in Austria, about 1,000 demonstrators rallied in Vienna before being dispersed by police.

The above is just a glimpse of the recent landscape. In addition to the chaos in Britain and Germany , there are also chaos in the United States and Israel . In recent days, large-scale riots have broken out in dozens of cities in these countries, with nearly one million people taking to the streets to demonstrate, smash, loot and burn.

Isn't epidemic prevention for everyone's benefit? Why do people protest all the time ? Is life not worth mentioning in front of freedom? Many netizens have sincere questions!
