Breaking news! Amazon is down again, and a large number of sellers' orders have plummeted...

A large number of sellers are experiencing order delays!

Early this morning, I saw a seller in the group asking : Is everyone's order volume normal today? I haven't had any orders for three hours, which is very strange.

As soon as the question came out, the seller group also became active, and some sellers echoed it ↓

Seller A: The ad shows that I have placed 3 orders, but I haven’t seen any orders for three hours. Could it be that Amazon’s backend has crashed again?

Seller B: I was so panicked, I thought the product was banned.

Seller C: I haven’t had any orders recently. I’m used to it. It’s nothing…

There are also sellers who stand out from the crowd of replies - in this Versailles competition, even if there are no orders for three hours, you can still find out, it’s definitely Barley!

So is this Amazon 's fault or are sellers really out of orders? Are order delays only experienced by some sellers, or is it widespread?

In fact, it’s not just the sellers in the group, there are also sellers in the forum who can’t help it ↓

It's been 3 hours and my ad is still being clicked. I'm broke, my products are not selling, and I'm spending extra hard on advertising.

What's going on? Is Amazon down for maintenance and I can't access the website?

I feel relieved to see you like this. I haven’t had any orders for two days .

Afterwards, the editor saw different sellers discussing this matter in more than five seller groups almost at the same time. It is certain that Amazon has collapsed again.

The seller guessed three reasons ↓

However, the sellers discussed mainly about the delay and decline of orders, and no other problems occurred. In fact, as early as Tuesday, some sellers reported that the product page was turned into a mess as soon as they visited it. Today, the problem finally broke out on a large scale.

Amazon has experienced multiple outages before, so what was the reason this time? I saw some sellers in the group guessing the reasons, among which three situations were discussed most ↓

1. Off-season

2. Americans are out of money

3. Change to daylight saving time

Some sellers said that although the current order volume is stable, it cannot be compared with the order volume during the peak season last year.

Whether Americans have money in their wallets is closely related to the sellers' orders. It is normal for the order volume to decline during the off-season and lack of money. This can also explain why some sellers were able to remain as stable as a rock during the three-hour Amazon outage.

When it comes to daylight saving time, the sellers in the group don’t quite understand it, but some sellers kindly posted screenshots in the group ↓

Yesterday, some media also released a notice on the adjustment of the 2021 US Daylight Saving Time trading hours - the 2021 US Daylight Saving Time will start on March 15, 2021 (Monday) and end on November 7, 2021. At that time, the trading hours of foreign exchange, precious metals, commodities, and US stock indexes will be advanced by 1 hour.

In fact, no matter what the reason is, as long as Amazon can give a reason, sellers can rest assured.

After all, Amazon’s multiple outages in the past have caused dissatisfaction among many sellers: every time we asked customer service, they did not give us a reason, so we had to guess on our own!

I also hope that Amazon can solve this problem as soon as possible and let the sellers’ orders come back quickly!
