85 New Countries Approved for Selling on Amazon
Amazon just opened the door for a lot more people to become Amazon sellers. 85 new countries were added to the approved list of countries for seller registration, including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Venezuela. This brings the total number of countries open to Amazon sellers to 188.
|
Sidenote: I seriously did not know there are that many countries, did you? I mean what is left? The few missing are heavily sanctioned nations like Cuba, Iran, and North Korea. Fun fact: There are 195 countries.
This might not mean much if you're already selling on Amazon - but it's just another sign of how Amazon is growing, and investing in becoming a bigger worldwide platform.
There's still a lot of growth potential in the Amazon third-party marketplace, which is really exciting to think about.

Restricted Amazon Keywords (Search Terms)
I came across a Google Sheet this week with a list of words you should never use in your Amazon listings. You should click over and see the list yourself. There are words there that we all use. I don't even know who created the list to give them credit, but it is an amazing list.
|
So I researched a bit further and found Amazon's guidelines. They didn't have that list but they did add a few more that weren't on it such as:
|
|
available now, brand new, current, discounted, just launched, last chance, last minute, latest, limited time, new, on sale, this week (month, year etc.), today, etc.
|
amazing, best, cheap, cheapest, effective, fastest, good deal, least, most, popular, trending, etc.

Amazon Attribution: A new analytics tool for Amazon sellers
Amazon Attribution is a powerful new tool for Amazon sellers wanting to track and optimize performance for off-Amazon traffic. Getting accurate data has long been a pain point for brands driving traffic from outside Amazon.
|
Since you have no access to the code on your Amazon product page, and you can’t install Google Analytics or the Facebook pixel, you can’t track customers through your funnel from start to finish. Thus, optimizing your external marketing campaigns is difficult.
|
Now, for brand registered sellers and Vendors, the Amazon Attribution feature is being rolled out, which will finally allow sellers to correctly measure the impact of media channels outside Amazon.

LandingCube has written an excellent article about this.

Improve Your Amazon IPI By Cross-Selling with the JoeLister.
Did you know that, as a cross-channel seller between Amazon + Shopify and Amazon + eBay, you can increase your Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score? It’s as simple, cost-effective, and as seamless as signing up for JoeLister, where you’ll realize the benefits of an increased IPI by automating your inventory control and fulfillment.
Why is this especially important now? Amazon is introducing changes to how it calculates IPI effective June 1, 2021. As you know, your IPI score measures how skilled you are at managing your fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) and multi-channel fulfillment (MCF) inventory. And you know that you want the highest IPI possible. The upcoming changes to the FBA and MCF fee structure and program—including the critical new update that sales made outside of the Amazon ecosystem (Shopify and eBay) will henceforth be included in your IPI score - mean that now is the time to take advantage of the listing and management tools that JoeLister has to offer.
|
That’s right. Anytime you sell a product on either the Shopify or eBay platform, and it’s fulfilled by Amazon, your IPI will be impacted. This change should be viewed as an opportunity to increase sales if you have the ability to streamline inventory performance and increase your IPI with Amazon.
|
Sidenote: The Inventory Performance Index, or IPI, is a metric to gauge your inventory performance over time. IPI score measures how efficient and productive you are in managing your FBA inventory.

Amazon is trying to cash in on viral TikToks
Amazon is leaning into TikTok virality.
|
Last month, the company published a new product collection called “Internet Famous: The Latest To Go Viral.” It features a mix of portable carpet cleaners, foot peel masks, and dozens of other products that have recently garnered millions of views across TikTok. While Amazon doesn’t specifically use the word TikTok on its site, the collection pulls from the app — both aesthetically and in its list of products — in all but name.

Severe restrictions on FBA limits, even for high-performing sellers, are now the norm.
|
And by high-performing sellers we mean not just high revenue but also high IPI score. Two 7-figure clients with IPI scores over 800 have both had their inventory restricted.
