Amazon admits misjudgment and apologizes! US site sales plummet...

Recently, the traffic of US sites has decreased significantly, and the sales of many sellers have plummeted. Sellers are suffering...

In fact, as early as last week, some sellers reported in the group that the sales volume of the US site has dropped significantly recently. The bidding of the ads has not increased much, but the sales volume has not increased. Compared with before, it has dropped by half!

I believe that many sellers are not only troubled by the decline in sales, but also have headaches because the time required to enter the warehouse, put on shelves, and deliver FBA products has been significantly slowed down.

One seller said, " When the city was locked down, I thought everything would be fine once it was lifted, but I didn't expect that the lifting of the lockdown would be the beginning of a nightmare! "

This is greatly influenced by the current environment in the United States.

Previously, there were several waves of " small explosions in orders", which were related to the US government's subsidies and the choice of online shopping due to the epidemic. The decline in orders this time can be summarized as follows:

1. Epidemic in the United States

At present, the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States has exceeded 2.1 million on the 15th, the death toll has exceeded 116,000, and rebounds have occurred in many states. The situation is very serious.

2. Riots in the United States

The nationwide racial protests sparked by the killing of black people by American police have not stopped and are still fermenting. Various social problems caused by the riots continue to emerge, affecting logistics, travel, etc., and the "offline stores" were robbed, resulting in a decline in online shopping enthusiasm;

3. The US government will no longer give out money

According to CNN, the federal government's additional unemployment benefits of $600 per week for unemployed workers during the new coronavirus epidemic will expire at the end of July this year and will not be extended.  

This directly hit the shopping enthusiasm of the American people. After all, if the government no longer gives out money, they will have to live frugally.

According to the current situation, the impact of the epidemic and riots in the United States may not end so soon. But I believe that as the situation improves, orders will return to normal.

A few days ago, many sellers were blocked due to account association issues!

However, many sellers said that they felt wronged. They only had one account and had been operating it honestly. They could ensure that the account registration information, network, email, mobile phone, etc. were all new, but they were still judged to be related. What was going on?

Just yesterday, many sellers said they received an apology email from Amazon:

So, this is another " misjudgment "!

Although Amazon apologized and restored the seller's sales privileges, the seller has no place to complain about the losses caused by the suspension...
