Some time ago, there was a rumor that the new Amazon account could not be shipped in the peak season and FBA in the United States would not accept the goods from the new account after the middle of September. Eon.com promptly checked with Amazon Seller support and learned that this regulation had not been issued this year, which should be the sellers' inference based on last year's regulation. But the latest word from Amazon's hiring manager is that new sellers won't be available until October, not September as has been rumored.

Busy season preparation, novice sellers warehouse limited

A few days ago, in the Amazon seller group, the investment manager sent three reminders: the busy season of the second half of the year is coming, all sellers please finish the test by the end of September and the stock of black 5 had better be sent out in the early part of September, because it takes a long time to arrange the warehouse in October and new sellers will not be allowed to enter the warehouse in the middle of October for black 5.

This reminds experienced sellers: oh, the busy season is coming, hurry up! Sellers who have just signed up for an account on Amazon are left stunned: So should they still be restricted? They melody ~

Before, the seller asked: the new American account needs to send a batch of FBA inventory before September. If it is not sent, it cannot enjoy the FBA logistics policy in the peak season. Is the message reliable? Have operation expert expresses: reliable, want lock storehouse And, even if there is no official news, sellers should also carry out the peak season stock as soon as possible, because of the centralized stock reason, there has been a phenomenon of inventory and warehouse bursting. On top of that, Amazon doesn't give advance notice of the restrictions and may one day suddenly not apply until it's too late.

In early October of last year, Amazon suddenly announced that new accounts that had not sent FBA before Christmas could not send FBA until after Christmas. Having been raided last year, sellers began seeking information early this year, lest they be caught off guard by the rules of another raid.

According to the tip of the investment manager, the warehousing restriction will start from the middle of October, aiming to prepare for black Friday. Last year, it was to prepare for Christmas and the deadline was close. It's easy to understand. Black Friday comes a month before Christmas, which is the peak shopping season and the holiday positioning of the two is highly similar: suitable for selling the full range of products, especially those with slightly higher prices; Pricing and promotions are particularly important.
