1. Choose a collection company with high security and pay attention to the confidentiality of the collection method
When choosing a collection agency, the first thing to consider is security, and the second is the rate. In terms of security, sellers can understand the background of the collection company’s establishment, financial qualifications, whether it has a payment license in the countries covered by the business, and whether it cooperates with well-known international banks, because the cooperative bank is also an endorsement of the collection company. Some small collection companies do not have these two qualifications, and their security may not be high, so they cannot guarantee funds. It is not recommended for sellers to choose such companies.
When the seller binds or modifies the collection account, it is recommended to copy the collection account information directly from the background of the collection account, such as BIC, IBAN, and the name of the payee, and then paste them one by one to the Amazon background to bind the collection method.
Some sellers’ account funds were stolen before because criminals used some “black technology” means to directly tamper with the collection account, but the seller did not receive relevant reminders. Now Amazon has upgraded the process of replacing the payment account. The payment account can no longer be modified directly. The payment account needs to be verified. Only after the verification is passed can the payment method be changed. This adds an extra layer of protection for sellers. Therefore, sellers must protect the registered email address and password of the payment account to prevent the leakage of account information.
2. Use company-specific email addresses and mobile phone numbers
1. Registration email
Sellers are advised to apply for one or several new email addresses, which are specifically used for Amazon registration and operation to avoid association and account theft, and also to avoid the inconvenience of handover of employees who leave the company later. It is best not to use NetEase email addresses (such as 126 email addresses and 163 email addresses). QQ email addresses, Hotmail, Outlook, and Gmail are recommended.
2. Mobile phone number
Mobile phone numbers are the same as registered email addresses. It is recommended to use company-specific ones. It is not recommended to use the manager’s private mobile phone as the registration verification number and contact information. Similarly, it is not recommended to use the employee’s personal mobile phone number to avoid the inconvenience of handover caused by employees changing jobs later.
3. Do a good job of security and confidentiality in other details
In the process of daily operation, the following suggestions are made: ① Pay attention to the network, and Amazon stores are best operated by dedicated lines; ② Do not click on links in unknown emails; ③ Do not send ASIN codes, listing titles, store names, registered email addresses, and payment account information to the group without coding to prevent people with ulterior motives from misusing them; ④ Do not casually disclose your Amazon account email address and password to protect your account security and do not let others take advantage of it.
In short, sellers must have a good awareness of account theft prevention, so that account operations can be safe and worry-free.
