Amazon’s minefields of contraband , be careful in the peak season!!

With the advent of holiday shopping season, Europe and the United States will usher in multiple shopping peaks. Due to the repeated epidemic, most people said they would continue to choose to shop online.

The next shopping nodes are Halloween, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, online Monday, Christmas, etc.

People’s shopping mood is also very high. A new survey of 1060 American consumers conducted by dealaid, an online shopping service platform, shows that people plan to spend about $974 on the festival, and 94% of people choose to shop on Amazon.

Amazon sellers have been actively preparing goods and are ready to do a good job in the shopping season. At the same time, they remind sellers that Amazon is a platform with high requirements for selling products. In the peak season, they should pay more attention to the safety of selection.

On Amazon, products are often “forcibly recalled” because of various security problems

Recently, “pacapet fluffy pink carpet” and “Yoh super soft purple carpet”, two carpets made in China and sold in Amazon, were forcibly recalled because the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) accused them of not meeting federal flammability standards and claimed that they had potential safety hazards.

Various product policies on Amazon are also updated from time to time

Recently, Amazon Europe has issued a notice on the products prohibited from selling lamps. The notice indicates that from October 1, 2021, transparent incandescent bulbs (15W, 25W, 40W, 60W, 65W, 70W, 75W and 100W), frosted incandescent lamps and halogen lamps (except socket types) R7, G9, GU5.3, G4 and Gy 6.35) will no longer be allowed to be sold and will be deleted from Amazon Europe. Further details will be updated later.

Product infringement is a big minefield on Amazon

Amazon’s infringement complaints occur from time to time. Once faced with complaints or lawsuits, the seller’s losses are also serious. The link becomes a dog, the sales authority is removed, and even the capital account is frozen.
