After failing to open a store, the seller complained about Amazon and was laughed at by others...

Recently, the editor discovered on Amazon's official seller forum that a seller used harsh language when reporting a problem, which attracted the attention and ridicule of many other sellers.

The seller said that he received an email from Amazon within two or three days of opening the store, asking for the suspension of the sales license. The seller was very surprised by this, and he believed that Amazon's criteria for measuring his qualification were different from those of others. He emphasized that his friend had a similar store, but it required video verification. After his friend passed the video verification, he still did not get Amazon's store license.

Sellers say Amazon's standards for sellers are meaningless. If Amazon doesn't want sellers to sell on the platform, it can simply deny the sellers' approval of the store, rather than letting the sellers pass the review first, deducting the monthly rent after the store opens, and finally suspending the sellers' sales.

The seller's language was too harsh. Not only was the title set as "Amazon is a robber and does not deserve to be number one", but he also said in the forum that "Amazon, as the world's largest e-commerce platform, has implemented such a shameful policy. If a platform's policies cannot be fair, just and open, I think such a business will not last long."

However, many sellers did not stand on his side this time, and some even found his anger and humiliation funny.

Seller A: Every new seller has to go through the new seller verification process. What does your friend's video verification have to do with your store? Amazon was founded in 1994, so it looks like it has been going on for a long time.

Seller B: Amazon, as the world's largest marketplace, has a responsibility to vet their sellers and listings. I also think Amazon is not rigorous enough in their vetting, which is in direct contradiction to your position.

Seller C: Be careful not to entangle your account with your friend (or vice versa), otherwise both accounts will be blocked as "related accounts". Remember, do not list each other's products, do not use two accounts on the same computer, and it is best not to put two computers on the same wifi.

Although Amazon's performance in account association and brand protection is somewhat unsatisfactory, its review of sellers is still very strict. The editor hereby reminds all sellers to abide by the platform rules, sell products legally and in compliance with regulations, and avoid unnecessary troubles.
