Amazon account registration upgrade! Free long-term storage fees for FBA in 7 countries!

Good news, following the US site, Amazon announced that it will waive long-term storage fees for sellers in seven European sites in May.

It is reported that this policy covers seven sites , namely the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland and the Czech Republic. All FBA inventory long-term storage fees in May will be waived. At the same time, all products weighing more than 15 kilograms at all sites, as well as non-priority delivery products at the logistics centers of France and Italy, will also be exempted from monthly storage fees in April .

The notification content is as follows :

Last year, many sellers were exhausted by the second review of Amazon accounts. Unexpectedly, this year, Amazon has stepped up its efforts and added new thresholds for registering accounts.

According to the seller's feedback, this is an address verification. Amazon said it will mail a postcard containing an address verification code to the address, and it is expected to take 7 days to deliver .

Some netizens said that the postcard they received would have a verification code, and the seller would fill in the verification code on the address verification page. Only after successful verification could they proceed to the next step of account registration.

Compared to the previous rumor that Amazon would conduct video verification , this address verification is easier to operate. It would be even better if it could replace the utility bills in the second trial. After all, sellers with real information may not be able to provide such proof.

However, address verification and video verification are currently spot-checked and have not yet been popularized to all sellers. However, this is a good thing for sellers with real information, but it is more troublesome for sellers who need to operate multiple accounts. Moreover, as the operation becomes more difficult, the price of buying an account will also rise. Everything has its pros and cons, but it is an indisputable fact that the platform is becoming more and more strict.

Previously, there was news that the products sold on Amazon must be consistent with the company's business scope, otherwise the account will be blocked! However, most of the sellers who were hit were sellers of epidemic prevention supplies, such as masks, forehead thermometers, etc., and they mainly occurred on European sites. There are also sellers who sell general goods who said their accounts were blocked, but the probability of this happening is very small.

Sellers also know that Amazon likes to settle accounts later, and various policies are constantly changing. Therefore, seller friends, be prepared to respond at any time and take precautions!
