Amazon store association is a complex and sensitive issue that may be caused by a variety of factors. Store association may not only affect the normal operation of the store, but may also lead to a series of adverse consequences, including but not limited to store ban. Therefore, it is crucial to understand and avoid store association.
Will Amazon's follow-up sales lead to affiliated stores?
Amazon piggybacking may lead to associated stores. Amazon associated stores refer to two or more stores that are associated with Amazon, and Amazon will consider these stores to belong to the same seller. If a store is judged as violating by Amazon, other associated stores may also be punished. Amazon will determine whether a store is associated based on various factors, including store name, address, phone number, email address, bank account information, etc. If two stores have too many similarities, then Amazon is likely to associate them together.
How to deal with the relationship between Amazon buyers and sellers
1. If Amazon gives the seller an opportunity to appeal: 1. Provide reasonable evidence and communicate with Amazon. 2. If Amazon has previously given the seller the authority to operate multiple accounts, then submit this record. 2. If Amazon directly blocks the seller's account and does not give the seller an opportunity to appeal, then there is no way. In other words, no matter what changes the seller makes after the association, no matter what efforts they make, they cannot change this status, and the sellers can only accept this associated status.
What are the factors that link stores on Amazon, and how to prevent them?
At present, there are three main methods for preventing cross-border e-commerce accounts from being associated:
Method 1: Independent physical environment: Use independent computer physical equipment and network environment for each store, and one independent network cable for each store. However, this method is extremely costly and cannot cope with e-commerce sellers of a certain scale. In actual operation, it is easy to use the same device to visit different stores, which has poor operability and high error rate.
Method 2: VPS/Cloud Host: Use VPS/Cloud Host to replace independent physical devices. Each VPS/Cloud Host has its own fixed IP. Compared with physical devices, virtual devices also reduce costs to a certain extent. However, when the VPS is recycled, it is likely to be used by another cross-border seller, thus causing the seller's account to be associated, and the security is still not high.
Method 3: Fingerprint browser: the most popular, lowest cost, most secure and simplest anti-association solution. Through the fingerprint browser, a unique browser fingerprint information and IP address can be assigned to each store. When visiting the store, the fingerprint browser will run a completely isolated browser instance. The instance has its own browser configuration environment, and cookie data, history records and other information are completely isolated from other instances. This means that you can open multiple fingerprint browsers on a computer at the same time to log in to multiple stores on the same e-commerce platform without affecting each other, completely eliminating the association of multiple stores caused by environmental factors.
What to do if the Amazon store IP is associated
If your Amazon store IP address is linked, you can take the following actions:
Confirm whether the IP address has been used by other stores: First, you need to determine whether the IP address association is caused by other factors, such as whether the same browser or computer is used. If this is the case, you need to change the browser or computer to avoid IP address association.
Change IP address: If you confirm that the IP address has been used by another store, you need to change a new IP address. Before changing the IP address, you need to contact the network service provider to learn the method and steps to change the IP address.
Contact Amazon customer service: If the above two methods do not solve the problem, you can contact Amazon customer service, explain the situation to them and ask for help. Amazon will handle it according to the situation and give a solution.
Appeal store association: If you confirm that the store association is due to the same IP address, you can submit an appeal to Amazon. When appealing, you need to provide relevant evidence, such as IP address proof provided by the network service provider. Amazon will review the appeal and handle it according to the situation.
It should be noted that Amazon has strict regulations on store associations. If any violations are found, the store may be banned. Therefore, when dealing with store association issues, it is necessary to comply with relevant regulations to avoid violations.
Are Amazon buyer and seller accounts linked?
Because Amazon needs to ensure that the buyer's account and the seller's account are legitimate and authentic, it will link the buyer's and seller's information in order to manage and maintain this account association, which is of great help in preventing bad behavior and fraud. In addition, for users with Amazon Prime subscriptions, their buyer account and seller account will be automatically linked, which means they can enjoy a series of subscription service benefits including free shipping and priority delivery.
In order to avoid the risks brought by Amazon store association, sellers need to ensure that each store's network environment, registration information, operating habits, etc. are independent. At the same time, they should pay close attention to Amazon's policy updates and changes, and adjust their operating strategies in a timely manner to meet the platform's requirements. It is crucial to maintain caution and compliance during operations to ensure the long-term stable development of the store.
