Warning: You Can’t Rely on Just Amazon

This is probably my most important blog post this year.

Meet (former) Amazon seller Nida Kazmi, below. CNN recently reported that she was making $1,000/month in profit when Amazon inexplicably shut her down:

(I’ll talk more about Nida in a moment.)

See, Amazon is still the #1 place I sell products, BUT it’s been known to suspend sellers – or warn them of possible suspension – for wrong reasons.

If it hasn’t happened to you yet, it could in the future.

Like Nida, I received warnings from Amazon too. But I acted really fast and deflected them successfully. Enitled “Your Amazon Seller Account” or “Warning:..“, they are serious notices:

  • Accusing you of selling counterfeit products (You’re innocent, but a customer/competitor filed a bogus complaint. It happened to me)
  • Accusing you of violating Intellectual Property Rights of a competitor (You’re innocent, but a competitor submitted a bogus complaint. It happened to me)
  • Warning your seller account is temporarily suspended for performance issues that were (probably) out of your control. This happened to me, years ago:
Amazon Trademark and Copyright Warnings

I narrowly missed getting suspended by Amazon for totally invalid reasons. Luckily, I 1.) acted fast and 2.) have additional income streams for “back up”

When sellers receive temporary/permanent suspensions, devastating financial losses can occur. Why? Because those sellers rely solely on Amazon to sell their products.

Now, don’t panic. Amazon sellers who get suspensions and/or warnings can recover, athough the financial damage to their business can be staggering. Nida’s stuck with all that inventory, as you can see in the above picture.

See, if Nida was selling on other major platforms (it’s easier than you think), she would still be receiving that critical income!

I’ve said it for 9+ years: You can’t rely on just Amazon. If you do, Amazon can destroy your business with just a keystroke.

The good news? The risk like Nida’s can end now, with this:

sell on multiple channelsSee, smart Amazon sellers are now duplicating their Amazon listings on one or more proven selling sites like Walmart, eBay, Shopify, Mercari, and more, easily and inexpensively. (The fancy word for this is “Multi-Channel Commerce.”):

  • Easily because today there is software that synchronizes your listings and inventory among multiple major sites
  • Inexpensively because 1.) that software has come way down in price; and 2.) many seller platforms (like Walmart) charges merchants smaller fees than Amazon!

In fact, many sellers now have 50% of their sales from Amazon and the other 50% on Walmart.com! And others sell products on Amazon and Walmart and eBay and Shopify – or a combination!

And you can do it to.

How?

With my trusted partners Barrington McIntosh and Lance Wolf of BaLance.
