Amazon’s Crackdown on Chinese Sellers
Amazon has suspended hundreds of top Chinese sellers over the past two months. The company seems to be just now enforcing its rules for blatant policy violations like manipulating customer reviews. Tactics that some of those sellers have used for years.
Mpow and Aukey were the first major suspended sellers at the end of April. According to Marketplace Pulse data, the list has expanded to nearly 300 individual seller accounts (all based in China) and includes dozens of previously best-selling items. Total yearly sales of the suspended sellers exceed $1 billion.
Fairywill’s powered toothbrush, for example, has been among the top 5 five best-sellers on Amazon for at least three years. It had amassed over 75,000 reviews with an overall 4.5 out of 5-star rating. It had more reviews and routinely out-sold more expensive competitors from established brands like Philips and Oral-B.
