Chris McCabe is live from Amazon Boost in New Orleans.
- Boost is a great networking opportunity and an Amazon invitation only event to bring Amazonians together with Sellers
- Not considered a good session to get all the answers from Amazonians
- Chris goes and meets new Amazon people and Sellers
- Can get answers to questions a couple of days later
- Chris has not had trouble getting contact details and business cards from the Amazon attendees
How to get the most out of Amazon Boost
- Sellers present a problem when contacting with Amazonians in person or on the phone by not being succinct
- By not asking the relevant person the right focussed questions you just annoy them
- There are talks at Boost that you can learn from but mostly its value is in making connections
- Who can you meet from Amazon and what other Sellers can I meet
- As a consultant going to Boost its an opportunity to meet and network with potential clients
Stranded Products / Brand Name changes
- The hijacker finds a contact within Amazon and gets your stock flagged as stranded leaving them to send in stock and you the seller frozen out
- Hijackers change the brand name on your brand by convincing the captive team that there’s been a typo on the listing and they get it changed
VAT abuse situation
- Danny heard on a Chinese site
- Amazon has taken out thousands of Chinese accounts that have been avoiding VAT
- UK lost over a £1bn in tax avoidance so are clamping down
- Not uncommon for hundreds of China accounts being closed out by Amazon in one day
- Amazon will take Government very seriously
- A seller in the UK has been lobbying Government to level the playing field with overseas sellers
- This is comparable to the US Sales Tax problem for Sellers from out of State
- This action could be good news for UK Sellers
