The new store’s FBA shipment volume has increased to 3,000. Is Amazon only accepting large customers for registration?

It is most appropriate to describe the seller’s recent state as a mixture of sadness and joy!

Yesterday, the US distributed money, which made the sellers who had been depressed for a while due to the decline in orders excited. Later, the news that the inventory limit for new stores was relaxed to 3,000 made the whole joyful atmosphere continue to today.

Of course, life is full of "surprises". When we were preparing to raise our glasses to celebrate, we received news that Amazon's official investment promotion was approaching saturation and that large customer qualifications were required to settle in, as well as changes to Amazon Japan's FBA fees and sales commissions in 2021, and increases in small and standard size FBA delivery agent fees.

Amazon's official investment is approaching saturation, and only those with big customer qualifications can settle in ?

Yesterday, a screenshot went viral among sellers.

The picture information shows that Amazon's official investment promotion is now approaching saturation. To enter the North American and European sites, you basically need big customer qualifications. That is, it can only process applications from companies that can provide factory or product certification and have R marks or TM receipts . Those who cannot provide the above information will not be processed for the time being.

After seeing this news, the sellers who were preparing to open stores were confused and speculated that the reason why Amazon took such measures was most likely because there were too many new sellers entering the market this year, making it almost "Amazon for everyone."

In fact, their speculation is not without reason. One seller said that his relative who does machining is already on the way. Another seller also said that this is expected, and service providers are also scrambling for quotas this year.

According to relevant data forecasts, 1.5 million new sellers will join Amazon in 2021.

After receiving the relevant news, the editor immediately verified it with Amazon's investment manager, but as of press time, no relevant reply has been received.

Despite this, there is another rumor about Amazon's investment promotion that a seller has refuted after verification.

A few days ago, a seller refuted the rumor that " Amazon's investment manager will close the channel at the end of March and accounts can no longer be registered "!

According to the seller, he called the English customer service number in the United States on March 15 and asked whether there was any matter of closing the account application channel. The answer he got meant that the investment promotion department would be given a holiday at the end of March, so it would definitely be closed during the holiday, but everything would be normal after returning from the holiday!

The registration link is a very important step for sellers to achieve sales on Amazon, so they attach great importance to it and are very sensitive to related news.

But the editor would like to remind you that you should still be careful to avoid some scam sellers.

1. It is better to find an Amazon agent to register. It is fast, free and safe. Now there are some training companies that will help you register, and the fee is as high as more than 10,000 yuan. Don't waste your money.

2. Be careful to distinguish the authenticity of the investment manager, because some people will pretend to be an investment manager to obtain information.

Surprise! The number of new products that can be shipped to new accounts has increased to 3,000

Are the sellers who saw this picture very excited? They wanted to catch up with the American money-giving plan and catch up with a wave of hot orders, but who knew that the inability to ship goods became an obstacle to hot orders.

For sellers, registering a new Amazon store is difficult, and the restrictions on shipping new products in new stores are also quite a headache.

But the good news is that not only can old stores ship 3,000 new products , but now even new stores can ship 3,000, referring to Amazon's US site. The biggest relaxation of inventory restrictions was during the Spring Festival, when sellers reported that Amazon could ship 3,000 new products and 4 months of sales for old products.

Amazon also has its own "standards" for inventory limit quantities , and sellers really don't understand it↓↓

"My old store can only give out RMB 200 for new products . I don't know what Amazon's standards are. "

“ Amazon is so generous to new accounts . ”

“Even if I give a new account a new product with such a large shipment quantity, I still don’t dare to ship it myself.”

"Raw material prices have risen, and the ex-factory price has also increased. Now we have no goods to ship. "

Every time Amazon relaxes inventory restrictions, it is gradual and depends on sales. Sellers whose inventory has not been relaxed yet can pay more attention to the background or wait for a while.

In general, the shipping quantity of Amazon US and Japan is favorable to sellers and has been relaxed. In contrast, the inventory restrictions of Amazon Canada are "very different".

Some sellers have reported that the shipping restrictions on the Canadian site are becoming more and more abnormal. Not only is the shipment limit for a single sku limited to 75, but now the entire store is directly restricted . The number of items that can be shipped in their own store is only 5,000.

Because of the tightening of Canada's inventory restrictions, sellers are still shipping goods that exceed the maximum inventory level, and are also worried about excessive storage fees. They don't know what to do ...

Amazon Japan's fees have increased ...

Yesterday, Amazon Japan will also re-issue the annual fee adjustment notice, and the fee adjustment will take effect on June 16, 2021.

In general, Amazon's order processing, shipping and delivery costs have increased significantly, but for sellers, the sales commission for most products will remain unchanged, only Amazon's logistics delivery fees will increase slightly. The following is a summary of the announcement.
