What if the shipping and billing addresses are different? My friend is a well-known college professor with 2,000 students. What if he influences students to buy products where the shipping address is always the same, and the students provide reviews (with videos and photos) once I receive the products? Is this legal, or acceptable?
Amazing thanks for this! Can I ask… I noticed on your review card you’re ‘directing customers away’ to your website where you gather their details. Is this not against policy? Also you have ‘follow us’ on FB and IG. Is not directing customers away? I’m selling on amazon uk. Thanks.
You're welcome, I'm glad you found value in the video. No it isn't. It's only against the TOS if you are trying to circumvent Amazon's buying process. IE: trying to get people to buy from your website instead of on Amazon.
Hello Crescent, i have a question and no one answers me, i got this note from one of your old vids. I have heard that if MY barcode that i get from seller central ( using print item label ) Starts with BO then ill be facing issues with the product label once my shipment reach amazon. so i changed my sittings to always get amazon barcodes which should start with XO, i tried printing the items label again and it dident change, so i converted my listing from FBA to FBM. then i tried to re-change it to FBA but i found a statement from amazon that says "Manufacturer Barcode Only", the Manufacturer barcode is the one that starts with BO. Is there a way for me to use amazon barcodes ? i tried understanding the reason behind that, but there was no answers. iam a private label brand
If you changed the barcode setting after you created the listing, you can either delete the listing and create it again using the same UPC and SKU or add a new condition.
Hello Crescent ! Great video as usual ! When it comes to the Purchase Order Agreement, where should I send it to the supplier? Is it on Alibaba chat, or is there some kind of software for that? Thanks in advance!
@@CrescentKao Yes, I am sure I can make improvements. As a new brand it is hard to get people to try a new product. I think I need to switch from a concentrate to one bottle but I am unsure I would make a profit one bottle at a time. Right now that concentrate would probably last a home owner many years. In my own home one bottle has lasted over 2yrs cleaning my kitchen windows, glass top island and backsplashes and other windows. B0B8QS9PZT
Great video Crescent!!! SMASHED L & C for YT Algo. Question: I have just sent some stock inbound to my Australian FBA. If I sign up for VINE in that region(Australia), I'm assuming the reviews will reflect on other markets as its ASIN related?? Just wondering because I want to launch in USA also, but not sure if I have to enroll in the USA VINE program. Btw didn't know about the POSTCODE thing with friends and family reviews, good to know!!
Hello! I'm glad you found value in the video and thanks for your support, I appreciate it! Products are only available in the local marketplace so your product listing isn't going to appear in the other marketplaces... unless you enroll for Global Selling: sell.amazon.com/global-selling
Hello! We have the amazon vine option on our account, but since our products are seasonal, it would be best to launch the program in August/September in order to get better reviews from the viners. Do you think that Amazon may withdraw the option for Vine if we haven't used it for a few months? Is there an expiration period? (In Germany, where we sell, the fee is quite expensive 1350 eur for a single asin, unlike the US/UK where I believe it is much cheaper)
Great tips for getting reviews quickly! I'm curious, what methods have you found to be the most effective yet safest in terms of avoiding suspension? Any real-life examples of what to avoid?
I’m glad you found the video helpful. The quickest way is Vine. The new best is focusing on sales, more sales = more reviews. However, you should incorporate all the strategies I went over in the video.
Hi Mr. Kao, you mention Amazon expects 1% of reviews generates a review on average. Is that 100 sales of the exact same ASIN or 100 sales in general (all asins) from your brand? Please clarify.
Hello Sir Crescent, I have a question If I put on Thank you Card or Insert Card in my product then I put my online Shop store qr code, for example I put my Shopify store link or qr code and it is allowed to say in the insert card "We're happy if you leave honest reviews and ratings for our shop"? It is against for Amazon to do this method? Thank you sir
@@CrescentKao towards the end of your video - after you explain about contacting websites - you said "Again, this goes beyond the scope of this video, but I'll leave a link below if you want to learn more." I did not see a link to learn more about this. Am I missing it somewhere?
Hi Crecent, I can’t make my product visible on Amazon, when I make the search it doesn’t come up in all the results 😅. My product is live but it’s invisible
Hello. First, new listings can take 24-48 hours to get indexed in the search algorithm. If its been longer than 48hrs, then because the listings in a search or sorted primarily by the daily sales velocity and since you have no sales, it's going to be on the very last pages if at all. You need to run PPC to get your initial sales and boost your listings higher in the search, this goes over it: ruclips.net/video/SzBzdSixRAU/видео.html
I see, it’s been more than 1 year since it went live, but I can’t even find it in the very last one. I’ve tried almost everything but nothing works. Do you think the only way to do it it’s paying to Amazon to be visible?
Vine reviewers are ball breakers. I got a 4* review from one stating that my product was excellent and it worked (I sell a supplement) but it was pricey so they docked off a star. I thought this was total bs. Everyone knows the price of a product being sold; it is not a surprise or a mystery. Amazon should not be allowing price as a factor in reviews.
Hi Cresent, thanks for your video. According to the Amazon TOS, "You may not attempt to circumvent the Amazon sales process or divert Amazon customers to another website. This means that you may not provide links or messages that prompt users to visit any external website or complete a transaction elsewhere." Does this mean we are not allowed to take them to a landing page? Thanks
I'm confused, because the 2nd part of that TOS sentence doesn't say you have to be doing anything to circumvent the sales process, they're clearly stating they don't want us diverting anyone to a website at all. How is that not a violation?@@CrescentKao
Oh another question. I've launched my Shopify site. Atm I don't have any items in USA FBA. Would I be breaking Amazon TOS if on my OWN shopify site I linked my direct product to my customer(USA customer - as it will offer them cheaper and faster freight through Amazon)
@@CrescentKao Oh I meant that I will be having my product on Amazon FBA in the USA, but since freight from my shopify will be too expensive I'd like to put a direct link to my AMZ USA products(helps the listing). Would that be breaking TOS?
Hey Crescent, thanks for the great content as always. I have a question about Amazon’s requirement for a suffocation warning label. My product packaging is a small carton box. Inside the box my product is in a clear poly bag for extra protection. Does this poly bag need the warning label even though it’s not the main packaging?
@@CrescentKao I dont think I got the answer to my question from the video. I’ve actually asked a couple different youtubers and received conflicting answers. Are you saying yes the poly bad needs the label regardless of if its in a carton box?
@@CrescentKao So, if we have an automated review request setup, and we include a review request insert in each order, we run the risk of getting in trouble with amazon? It's either one or the other?
@@asyapenkova7479 If you want to focus on getting seller feedback, then by all means, go for it. But it should be obvious that buyers look at the product reviews, not seller feedback. Most Amazon shoppers don't even know what seller feedback is or where to find it.

So I can’t give a discount on their next purchase for leaving a review after purchase
You can as long as you're not incentivizing the reviews or asking specifically for positive reviews.
Hi Mr. Kao, you mention Amazon expects 1% of reviews generates a review on average. Is that 100 sales of the exact same ASIN or 100 sales in general (all asins) from your brand? Please clarify.
Hello. 100 sales per ASIN.

If I do FBA, I don't understand how I can give them a % discount on their next order. Thank you
You can include an insert card that has a coupon code on it.
Where do I find information/video about contacting owners of websites to showcase my products??
I'm not sure what you're asking? I'm pretty sure every website has a contact us page or a link that you can use to get a hold of someone.

So what if someone unrelated to me but has the same last name leaves a review on my book??
Is it a real organic review? If so, don't worry about it. If its a fake review, then I went over the circumstances in the video.
make great product images
Hello, thanks for this great video. My question is if I can send the link to a friend or will that cause me an issue with Amazon?
You're welcome! Like I said in the video, your friends can buy your product but they can't leave a review.
How much unverified reviews we can add on our products from different person in one month
If you're getting fake reviews, I would keep it less than 1% of your sales, otherwise, if they are real, it doesn't matter.
Where is the link to Secret Review Method #1? I want to implement this strategy. Thanks
All the links and details are in the video description.
