After accusing several major "crimes", the 12-year veteran seller decided to quit Amazon!

It is the peak season for Amazon sales, and some are happy while others are sad. Some sellers are making a lot of money by taking advantage of the consumer shopping craze, while some sellers are leaving the market sadly during this joyous holiday shopping season ...

Recently, I noticed a post while browsing the Amazon official forum. A seller who had been selling on Amazon UK for twelve years finally decided to quit Amazon after several psychological struggles, and listed several major "crimes" of Amazon since he started selling on the platform .

The old seller named "Paper_Things1" posted that after many internal discussions, they finally decided to stop selling on Amazon UK and other Amazon sites, and will also remove Amazon Pay from their website. The seller said that they have had enough of what happened on Amazon and finally decided to terminate all contact with Amazon.

As for why he left Amazon, the seller also left more than ten reasons, including:

Product compliance policies have brought many negative impacts on their business management;

Amazon delivery issues and Royal Mail extra charges;

The increase in fraudulent A to Z claims and the lack of necessary seller protections;

Terrible seller support system that barely resolves or fixes any issues;

New return policy and automatic refunds;

increasing costs and expenses;

…

“Business on Amazon is like dealing with a dictatorship. You need to keep looking back, afraid of making mistakes, afraid of opening emails from Amazon, and afraid of bad news in the emails. All of this puts a lot of pressure on us.”

Under this post, many sellers expressed their empathy, saying that the series of policies introduced by Amazon have brought a lot of pressure to their business activities. Some even said: If they were braver, they might have left the Amazon platform long ago...

In fact, it is not new that some sellers decide to quit Amazon. On a platform, new people come in and some people leave. However, some of the words in this seller’s post can be said to have resonated with many sellers. In just one day, the post has been viewed 4.1k times and received over 130 comments.

Finally, let me end with a quote from Paper_Things1: "As we removed our last product listing from Amazon, we could feel a weight lifted off our shoulders. We were ready to pop open a bottle of chilled champagne to celebrate the bright future ahead. Thanks again, and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors."
