Amazon employee confirmed! One person affects 50,000 people! My brother-in-law took action against the mask seller...

As the international epidemic spreads, the United States has once again made a ruthless move! They stopped counting the number of pneumonia cases and instead used yes and no!

States with confirmed cases are marked "yes", and states without confirmed cases are marked "no"! The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explained: Because each US state reports independently, they no longer publish important data!

This typical idealistic operation is quite puzzling. Does it mean that if you close your eyes, it will be dark? This move has also caused dissatisfaction among many American people!

But no matter how we try to cover it up, the current severe global epidemic situation has become an indisputable fact! At present, the cumulative number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in 76 countries abroad has reached 12,668, with 2,103 new cases in one day!

And according to the latest news, even an employee at Amazon's headquarters in Seattle has been diagnosed! This employee took sick leave on February 25, and it is not clear whether this person has been working in the company or has traveled in recent days.

If this employee has had mobility experience, then all 50,000 Amazon employees in Seattle may be affected! Not only that, some people said that the entire Amazon warehouse may have to be sealed and disinfected, which made the sellers panic for a while!

As the epidemic continues to spread, protective materials such as masks have long been in short supply in the United States. This can be seen from Amazon's mask sales data, and some Chinese sellers have already taken the lead!

At the beginning of the outbreak, those who were sensitive took the lead in taking action!

As early as the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, some Chinese sellers began to prepare for the export of medical supplies such as masks, protective clothing, and goggles! The operator of a company in Bantian, Shenzhen, recently revealed that their masks from Amazon received tens of thousands of orders every day, and the sales volume was extremely hot!

Another seller revealed that he started selling masks on Amazon in early February, and now he has an average of 1,000 orders per day! Even self-delivery can get 300 to 500 orders per day!

It can be seen that the top positions on the Best Seller list are almost all occupied by masks.

In fact, there are quite a few sellers who can find mask resources in the country, and the supply of masks in the market is gradually beginning to balance!

In Xuzhou, Jiangsu, the country's first self-service mask vending machine has been launched, and each person can buy 2 N95 masks per day; in Beijing, 50 gas stations have started selling masks, with 30,000 masks released every day!

It can be seen that with the increase of China's production capacity, masks are no longer allocated by the government, but are gradually flowing into the market ! However, what cross-border sellers are most worried about is: Does the country allow the export of masks?  

For example, the picture above: According to the customs notice, all types of masks, protective clothing, goggles, gloves, thermometers and other materials cannot be exported at present! The beginning of this picture is signed "Customs regulations prohibiting the export of epidemic prevention products"!

It was later determined that this picture without any seal, stamp or signature was fake news! The purpose of releasing it may be to prevent a large number of sellers from entering the mask category to grab business!

I also did not see any relevant ban on the website of the General Administration of Customs! In addition, Shanghai Customs recently refuted the rumor of "banning the export of masks" on Weibo ! Shanghai Customs stated: The company's qualifications meet the normal export requirements, and individuals can mail them out normally!

Although masks are in short supply internationally, it does not mean that sellers can rush in and buy them. These things still need to be dealt with!

Previously, due to the surge in demand for masks on Amazon, some sellers took a different approach in order to quickly get their products on the shelves, using other product names or listing them in other categories! Now, the chaos is over, and Amazon has started to take action!

According to the sellers: a large number of follow-up links have been removed this morning. As for the reason, it may be that the inventory is sold out, or it may be that Amazon has forced the links to be removed. The most likely reason is that they have been detected by the platform! A few days ago, I saw more than 30 stores following a link, but this morning they all disappeared!

Especially for self-delivery, it is difficult for orders to bear ODR, and many of them have not been FDA certified. It would be a waste of time to do it now, and you may not even get the money by then!

Another seller revealed: In addition to FDA certification, Amazon also requires sellers to provide invoices , and the supplementary invoices are invalid! If you cannot provide them, Amazon will determine that you are selling counterfeit goods and then block your account! At present, a group of sellers have suffered losses because of this!

In this extraordinary period, sellers who dare to sell emergency supplies must bear risks! What sellers are worried about now is: if their accounts are blocked, can they get the money back? Otherwise, it will be a waste of time...

As the popularity of masks grows, Amazon will inevitably further investigate and punish " non-compliant" mask accounts in order to maintain market order, and the control will become stricter in the future!

If sellers still want to take part in this trend, please be sure to prepare all the qualifications at home and abroad ! Otherwise, in the end, the sparrow may fly into the chaff - a false joy!
