CHRIS MCCABE

Chris McCabe knows Amazon from the inside, out. He used to work for the company for many years evaluating seller account performance and enforcing Amazon’s policies. After leaving Amazon, he became a consultant and launched ecommerceChris where he teaches sellers how to think like Amazon, protect their accounts, and appeal listing restrictions and suspensions.

How To Communicate With Seller Performance (and not be ignored)

How Amazon internal teams review and dissect, and ultimately accept or reject seller appeals, will focus on ASIN listing blocks and how to prevent an overall account suspension. I’ll delve into the best ways to respond to Performance Notifications, and what to do next if they ever ask for “more information” or even if you get rejected. Proper format of a viable Plan of Action and what’s necessary to write in an escalation letter all will be included.
