Unexpected Amazon orders, those bugs that make sellers tremble with fear

Over the past weekend, something strange happened in the Amazon store. There was no movement in orders on the 8th and 9th, but new orders with the time displayed as the 7th kept appearing!

Until now, there are still sellers placing new orders for the 7th. Even if the seller presses F5 and it is cracked, the new orders for the day cannot be refreshed, and all orders for the 7th are placed.

It seems that my brother-in-law has not been idle after retiring to the second line and becoming a hands-off boss. He has developed a groundbreaking time machine that allows sellers to place orders on the 7th on the 9th . The orders from the past completely solve Amazon's traffic problem.

Joking aside, I think this may be due to an Amazon data bug, which mistakenly displays today's orders as those on the 7th. If this is the reason, the impact will not be significant and will not affect normal sales. The only possible problem is whether the backend will also count these transactions on the 7th when calculating conversion rates and traffic. In this way, the backend conversion data for the past two days will be quite ugly, which will in turn affect advertising and traffic.

At present, this bug has not been officially confirmed and has not been fixed yet. Everyone needs to pay more attention to the store data in the next two days and on the 7th, including visitors and conversion clicks, etc.

Amazon has had a lot of terrifying bugs this year. Just counting two or three of them, they are all serious bugs that could cause financial losses at best, or even bankruptcy at worst.

In early December, many sellers had their brand records removed. Because removal of records had happened frequently before, and they would not be restored automatically without appeal, everyone thought there was a problem with the record and complained to customer service. As a result, Amazon directly announced in the middle of the month that the removal was caused by a bug.

However, many sellers who filed complaints on their own have already entered the complaint process and will be reinstated after their complaint materials are reviewed and approved. However, many sellers who did not take any action at all had their brand registration automatically restored. The sellers were dumbfounded, as their proactive response backfired.

Fortunately, as long as you contact customer service, if the removal is caused by a bug, customer service can manually restore it, which saves the seller the appeal process, otherwise the seller would really be in tears.

In April, Amazon had a bug that caused a lot of bleeding for sellers. At that time, a large number of sellers found that their product inventory was sold out. Even products that they usually did not receive any orders were directly cleared out overnight! The inventory was sold out!

Many sellers were still confused at first, but when they saw the order details, they were shocked. These orders were all purchased for free. It turned out that there was a bug in Amazon's front desk, which displayed an abnormal discount and directly reduced the product price.

The reason why these 0-yuan purchase orders suddenly increased was that this BUG was discovered by some freeloaders, who forwarded it in large quantities. In a short period of time, the freeloaders sold out the inventory of the bug products.

My heart bleeds when I think about how all these orders were free.

After Andy took office, he didn't accomplish much, but he fixed more and more bugs, each one more outrageous than the last. Here's a small poll. Please choose the bugs you have encountered on Amazon. Let's see which bugs appeared most frequently this year.
