What is the impact of Amazon deleting shipments? What details should be paid attention to in operations?

Amazon is a good platform. If you want to operate the Amazon platform well, you must master many operating skills. So what impact will Amazon's deletion of shipments have? The following content will provide you with relevant introduction.

What are the consequences of Amazon deleting a shipment?

Try to delete Amazon shipments as little as possible. If you delete too many times in one day, you may receive a warning. One or two times will not have any impact. Or if you have created shipment A, you can leave it alone for now and create a new shipment. You can also send a new shipment, but deleting it is not recommended.

After creating a shipping plan, FBA can delete it, but this cannot happen all the time, as it will affect your score. If Amazon places the wrong order, FBA will delete it: If you have only created a shipment or plan, click on the shipment plan and delete it directly.

There is nothing wrong with deleting products. It is just like deleting and removing products normally. If your product is sold out or out of season, it must be removed from the shelves. This is a normal operation and will not affect your store.

Generally, if you sell products that are prohibited from sale by Amazon, your store will definitely be closed. Selling counterfeit goods, not following the product page regulations, poor product quality leading to account suspension, operating multiple accounts, providing misleading/false information, frequently canceling orders, a large number of negative reviews, etc. may cause your store's weight to be affected, and the worst cases will result in your store being closed directly.

What details should be paid attention to in operation?

The impact of deleting a product that is no longer for sale is not significant. However, according to the principle of “letting go”, if the inventory list in the store backend is too messy, it will ultimately affect your ability to more accurately grasp the product and inventory status in the store. This is secondary.

More importantly, a product that is no longer sold due to infringement has no inventory, but the listing still exists. This is a big problem.

Many sellers often think that they can just remove a listing after it infringes upon the rights, but they do not know that when a listing is removed, it is only invisible on the front desk, and the information of this product still exists in the Amazon system database. If it is screened by the system, then this listing may trigger a second infringement.

I believe that sellers with a little operational experience know that, generally speaking, if a store infringes three times within a certain period of time (about half a year), the account will be removed from sales privileges when the third infringement occurs. Therefore, for listings that have been recognized, complained by the rights holder, or have been determined by the system to be infringing, we must delete the listings as soon as possible.

To sum up, we know the consequences of Amazon deleting products, and merchants need to pay attention to the fact that they must pay attention to every detail during the operation and creation process, because any negligence in details may cause us to lose business.
