Hello Amazon Seller,
Thank you for being a subscriber, and thank you for opening this email.

I bought a sail for my boat on Amazon the other day.
|
Today it dawned on me that it's not the right size so I called to cancel. They said it's too late. "That sail has shipped."

Amazon blocked 10 billion listings in counterfeit crackdown
|
Last year (2020), Amazon took a stand and blocked 10 billion suspected phony listings before any of their offerings could be sold. This is thanks to new tools and technologies that were introduced to combat counterfeiting in 2019. As a result, the number of suspected bad listings that it blocked last year was up about 67% from the year before.

FeedbackWhiz
Before you breeze on by, take another look here. Not only does FeedbackWhiz have raving reviews out on the net, but they also have a Profits and Accounting module that is pretty awesome. It is one of those rare analytics programs that lets you see exactly how much profit you have per product minus Amazon fees and any cost of goods you care to add. I have created crazy spreadsheets in the past trying to keep up with such an elusive number and this is so much better and easier.
|
They have a new labeling system as well. So you can label all your books or your electronics and get detailed accounting info on each of the labels. Now you will know how your books or shoes are doing in a category of their own.
|
And the price...the Feedback module starts at $19.99 and the accounting module starts at the same price, $19.99. Their free trial is 30 days, so you can try it out without being rushed.
|
As an added bonus, they put together a free guide to Profits and Accounting tools. Find it here>
