I believe that sellers who have been paying attention to the morning paper have seen these two news items.

Many sellers lament that Amazon is getting bigger and bigger, but the seller experience is getting worse and worse.

Just yesterday, Amazon’s system suddenly “failed” and scared many sellers again.

A large number of sellers’ flash sales were cancelled due to system problems

Yesterday afternoon, a seller posted a message on the forum asking for help: Just now, I found that the one-day flash sale that had been scheduled in the background of the US site suddenly disappeared ... It was directly deleted, and even the background record was gone.

After the flash sale was cancelled, the seller was also very uneasy: What should I do if there is no inventory for the event? What should I do with my sales? It’s only the beginning of this 21 years, and it’s already so difficult...

After seeing this post, some sellers checked their own flash sale information in the backend and found the same situation. Some showed that the submission was not successful, while others appeared in the review section.

Similarly, in the seller communication group, a large number of sellers reported that their flash sales were cancelled by Amazon for no reason.

According to sellers’ feedback, most events in January have been cancelled, but those in February and March are still available.

Moreover, the large-scale cancellation of this flash sale has affected sites such as Europe, the United States, and Japan , causing many sellers to panic. What is going on?

For sellers, due to the impact of the new crown and logistics, the order volume has been unsatisfactory recently. They can only stimulate sales through activities such as flash sales, but the system's sudden cancellation of flash sales has really confused the sellers.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. This morning, there was news that the flash sales had been resumed. But what was puzzling was that although the flash sales had been resumed, the time had been changed by itself.

It seems that the large-scale cancellation of flash sales is most likely a problem with Amazon's backend, and most sellers' activities have been resumed, so sellers do not need to worry too much.

Today, the tense situation in the United States is still what sellers should pay more attention to. This morning, Trump was once again on Weibo's hot search list. What surprises and unexpected things did the "King of Understanding" bring us this time?

Trump impeached again, may lead to riots in the US

As early as two days ago, the news that the U.S. House of Representatives impeached Trump was widely circulated, making many of Trump's supporters sweat. Now the result is finally out.

On the 13th local time, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on the draft of impeachment against Trump. According to Fox News, the House of Representatives finally voted to pass the impeachment of President Trump with 232:197 votes .

In fact, this is not the first time Trump has been impeached. In December 2019, Trump faced impeachment for abusing his power and obstructing the normal work of Congress. A joint poll by ABC and Ipsos showed that 56% of the respondents believed that Trump should be removed from office.

But politics is often a matter of one thing affecting the whole body. Trump's removal from office will also affect the stability of American society and the spread of the new coronavirus epidemic to a certain extent. The violent protests by Trump fans at the U.S. Capitol have not yet subsided. If Trump officially leaves office, this scene may reappear.

According to ABC, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently received a "threat warning". The FBI claimed that an armed protest group had sent a threatening message to the government that if Trump was removed from office before the inauguration of US President-elect Biden, "armed protests" and "super-large-scale rebellions" could break out in all parts of the United States from January 16 to at least January 20.

Although the official has not disclosed the exact information, the US government has also strengthened its defense forces. It is reported that before the inauguration of the new president on January 20, about 10,000 National Guard soldiers will be on standby at the Capitol to maintain law and order.

Therefore, sellers should also pay close attention to relevant news. If there is a large-scale riot in the United States, it will inevitably affect the seller's sales and back-end logistics. At the same time, large-scale gatherings or riots may also cause super-spreading of the new crown epidemic. During the riots at the Capitol last week, three Democratic congressmen tested positive for the virus.

In addition, the Spring Festival holiday is coming soon, and sellers must prepare goods in advance and plan delivery and operation plans to deal with emergencies.

Have the sellers’ cancelled flash sales returned to normal? Feel free to share in the comments section~
