As an Amazon seller, it has always been ups and downs.
Compared with last year’s infinite glory, this year the entire industry is more turbulent and in a mess. The accounts of large and small sellers have been blocked by Amazon, some companies’ capital chains have been blocked by Amazon, and some small companies have had their accounts blocked by Amazon. The capital chain is broken and the entire industry is in turmoil.
From the beginning, I held the dream of making thousands of orders every day, but now I just want to clear the inventory quickly and stop losses. Only the sellers can understand the helplessness and bitterness involved.
This year’s industry situation is indeed unprecedented, which can’t help but make us Amazon workers deeply worried: If we don’t do Amazon, what else can we do in the future?
For Amazon, this is impossible.
No matter old or new sellers, this year has felt as ruthless as a battlefield.
The problems encountered by sellers are often a kind of brain circuit. For example, the seller below shared his strange experience. It can be said that he was “disorganized” by Amazon. It cannot be said that it is a variation of yesterday. Okay? I easily got rid of the variant, and found that more than 900 comments had been hidden. It can be said that Amazon has “troubled” it, and it was not just yesterday, so I left a negative review…
For the old Amazonian, of course, his experience is just the tip of the glacier, the existence of the “sprinkler”. Many sellers are going through tough times that we can never imagine.
It is reported that the brand was shut down by Amazon on July 3, and all other websites and accounts related to the brand were shut down. Amazon did not give any opportunity to complain. Therefore, there are still more than 1 million SKUs in stock, which are urgently needed to be cleared at low prices in order to realize cash.
So far, many big sellers have fallen in this incident. I thought that everything would be wiped out and small sellers would have an opportunity. However, in fact, the current situation of small and medium-sized sellers is not satisfactory either. Some sellers have discovered that they have related numbers, so now they can only turn up their advertising, lower the price, and place more orders to reduce the unsaleable rate. For Amazon, whether to block the account or not, the struggle has been given up.
As Amazon workers, some sellers also reported: Amazon has been in business for three years. Tired and feeling hopeless.
Now Amazon continues to crack down, price wars are coming one after another, and some sellers have encountered some unscrupulous peers, unscrupulous colleagues and other bad things. Whether it is Tieba or Weibo, it will remind people of some Unknown seller.
There are also sellers who have spotted the newcomers who have entered the Amazon market, so they have switched careers and become service providers.
He said: “If a person teaches you to make money, then he must teach you to make money, instead of letting him make money by himself. This is the principle of “getting rich silently”.” An Amazon seller said that many Amazon sellers who have not made any money have gone to Amazon for training.
Seller accounts have been frequently damaged in recent years. Faced with frequent Amazon incidents, some sellers have summarized several ways to change careers:
1. Cross-border e-commerce training.
2. E-commerce multinational enterprise management consulting.
3. Foreign language training.
4. Stock trading.
5. Pick up the bottle.
6. Psychological guidance for Amazon sellers.
