The Christmas promotion is still over in ten days, and for cross-border e-commerce sellers, this year-end peak season has its own situation. Some people exploded again and again, and some people continued to decline in the "dumb fire" of Black Friday.
Of course, all kinds of cross-border e-commerce service providers have also reached the end of the year to sprint KPIs, and all kinds of advertising promotions have come to the face for a while. However, we sellers need to be carefully screened, especially some unreasonable services need to be paid special attention, otherwise, I am afraid that this year will be difficult.
Clearance service providers are asking for 50% rebates
Sellers run out of tens of thousands of commissions!
Recently, an Amazon seller can be called the "chosen son", according to him, in just over 3 months on the shelves of Amazon, 5 products, encountered problems including but not limited to: account activation review, dangerous goods review, 8541 error, suspected infringement of intellectual property rights, pesticide misjudgment, consumer notification bill review, violation of restricted goods directly off the shelves...

Just like this seller, it can be said that all kinds of troubles on Amazon can be said to be commonplace. Of course, some of these troubles are self-inflicted, but more troubles come from the platform, or from the service providers we work with. Among the various types of cross-border service providers, there are many that we cannot distinguish between good and bad, for example, sellers who have been busy clearing goods during the peak season recently, and there are doubts.
A seller shared that he had encountered itOnline inventory clearing service providers are charged according to the effect。The commission withdrawn is promoted by cooperating overseas Internet celebrity bloggers, and then the inventory is cleared in the form of fan rebates. According to the service provider:
"Bloggers will give fans back commissions, and give them to fans together with other products, vouchers, coupons, etc. purchased by some bloggers as benefits, so as to attract a large number of fans to buy your products. After the fan buys the product, he will find the main benefits of the blogger with the order, and the blogger will feedback the order number to me, and I will give you feedbackYou will return the commission here, and I will be responsible for giving the blogger the rebate here, how many orders are issued and how many orders are checked. ”

Faced with this form of liquidation, the seller casually tested a product and found outAt once, I ran tens of thousands of RMB commissions, and many orders were bought at a time。MoreoverThe price increase clears the inventory, and the commission is almost 50% of the sales。In this regard, he believes that the chain of interests cannot be closed, and he is very puzzled, is there fraud in the middle?
The higher the price increase, the happier the liquidation
What the hell is the service provider doing!
For the above seller, he said that he was already scared during the testing stage, not only did he need to provide tens of thousands of commissions, but he was also very worried that he would encounter order refunds after giving money, which was a loss of money and goods.
Presumably, we are all curious about how reliable this way of returning goods to overseas celebrities with high commissions is. "I also want to know what the hell is going on with this, and a few people are pushing me. A seller who has not yet worked with said this.
Some well-informed old sellers seem to have seen through the routine behind it, and judging from the answers everyone gave, it is most likelyThe other party wants to steal the black cardAccording to the seller, this kind of order has two obvious characteristics: it is basically a single purchase of several, and the proportion of canceled orders is very high;The service provider is a pure commissioner, stealing the black card, youThe higher the price increase, the happier they are because the more commission they have

There are also sellers who add that there will be several types of uncontrollable consequences of such operations.
Audits - Audits for a surge in sales.
Warning - Manipulation of sales warnings.
Store closures - surge in sales, manipulation of sales, unfair pricing, fraud, failure to register in BSTC.
Of course, there have already been sellers who have tried this kind of price increase to clear inventory, according to their introduction, the other party also wants 50% of sales, and the commission is particularly high, so they have to be transferred to them first. They find someone to place an order, dozens of orders, bad luck will encounter poor character customer refunds, although the fee will be refunded, but Amazon FBA fees and processing fees have to come out of their own,A refund can cost hundreds or even thousands。In addition to the loss, one of the seller's stores was sentenced to swipe orders because of this and was warned once, but the store was not closed.

Therefore, in the face of this form of liquidation, some sellers also shook their heads again and again, and some sellers admitted that this is too uncontrollable, there are many uncertain factors, and it is better to clear the inventory in this way, it is better to return 10% of the goods directly in batches. All in all, the water behind this is afraid to be very deep, and sellers need to consider carefully if they want to try it.

There are also sellers who complained angrily: "I have encountered a person who said how many orders for the warranty, posted first and then paid, and finally gave the discount code without a single order at all, and asked if the effect was not achieved or what was the fee, and the result was that people said."Giving less than a penny will kill my shop, to say that you are not the first and not the last. In other words, this is the industrial chain, and it is by defrauding the seller of money in this way. ”
