Sad experience on amazon
As a chinese,it is so hard,I need to face descrimination,my account was suspended suddenly,my shop was closed forever!
My Ebay shop has been closed since years ago,because they said I am selling someting about pandemic!God,I just sell some ceramic soap dispenser!
My Etsy shop has been suspended since 2 years ago,I think because I am from China,ok,chinese sellers are forbiddedn to sell on Etsy finally!Great,I have no choice.
I have to move to Amazon,where is considered to be world №1 online sales platform!
Advices from amazon workers:1st,you need to upgrade to be professonal,then you could sell in other countries such as japan,australia,india and so on. OK,i do that,then nightmare begins,I open japan and australia,canada amazon shop,however,even amazon says I only need to pay no more than 39.99 usd each month,but I pay 39.99 usd*3 in July,I am still on the way,complainting for the rent refund!That is really sucks!!!!!!!!Finally,only rent of australia is still suspended there,now my amazon is closed too.
2nd,Amazon advises seller to send produts to their warehouse,which is called Fba!ok,I do that by sending 200 pcs of ceramic soap dispensers there,after more than two months,no sales at all,and amazon keeps charging the warehouse fee!Well that sucks!
3rd,I am advised to make some ads on amazon,even some called ads experter from amazon helps me make ads,God!68 usd has been paid to amazon,few sales!I have to decrease the price from 12.99 usd to 7.99 usd in order to clear these stock! On Etsy,ceramic art soap dispenser are selling about 14 usd,but on amazon,I sell below the cost,still no sales!Why?7.99 usd,I need to pay for 15% trade fee and about 5 usd for delivery fee and other fee!which means I could only get 7.99–6.15=1.84 usd! That is not enough for my cost to send items to amazon,neglecting the monthly rent fee and Ads that has been paid!
4th,Ok,I give up,I give up!I keep sending emails to my former customer and beg them to help,some good hearted help me buy some from amazon,but it couldn`t solve that issue
Finally,i have to abandon these goods,because it looks like that amazon the vampire will keep charging me!God,Still you will find,amazon will charge 0.52 usd to abandon each item!
God!What could I say about that?
Miss my selling days on Etsy:(
