Helium Buzz 1/5/2022: Amazon Restock Limits, Elite Seller Story, & Request A Review Automation

We’re back with another episode of the Helium 10 Weekly Buzz with Helium 10’s Brand Evangelist Carrie Miller!

Every week, we cover the latest breaking news in the Amazon and E-commerce space, interview someone you need to hear from, and provide a training tip for the week.

Third Party Sellers hit record sales over the holiday weekend with over 130,000 sellers surpassing $100K in sales. Amazon spent more than $100 million to help small and medium-sized businesses reach more customers during Prime Day and throughout the holiday season. https://h10.me/amazon-sales-record

Amazon made changes to their Restock Limits by decreasing the IPI threshold for FBA Storage limits from 450 down to 400. This change was implemented and effective on January 1, 2022. With this IPI change, less than 10% of sellers will have storage volume limits! https://h10.me/sc-2021

New blackhat from sellers techniques have come to light with the “brushing scam” where sellers send unauthorized inexpensive items to unsuspecting victims in order to boost their rankings on Amazon and can even occasionally result in credit cards being charged on the Amazon account. https://h10.me/dont-waste-money
