At the same time, when the merchant uses the "order grabbing artifact" to copy and generate a new link product, the new product only needs to reduce the price a little bit to get multiple times the traffic, thereby increasing sales, and the new product does not affect the sales of the original product.

In addition, Ebang exclusively learned that when consumers and other peer merchants are chatting with other merchants, when merchants grab the same order, the platform will provide additional platform subsidies for the order-grabbing goods to achieve lower prices, of which the cost is borne by the platform; Merchants can use the "order grabbing artifact" to copy the generated new link products, and they can also directly enter the homepage recommendation pool, so as to skip the cold start and quickly get traffic. At present, the 10 major resource slots of the tool are also being opened one after another, and merchants are on a first-come, first-served basis, and the products that are given priority registration will receive higher weight after the subsequent resource slots are fully opened.

3 Amazon may launch a "low-cost store" program

The news of Amazon's upcoming "low-cost store" project has spread far and wide in the industry. An informed seller said that judging from the limited information disclosed by the official at present, it is similar to the "full custody" model prevailing in the current industry, focusing on white label, low price, and cross-border small package direct delivery.

It is reported that the Amazon low-price store project adopts an invitation-based investment promotion method, and is expected to issue invitations to qualified sellers in the next 2-3 months. Sellers participating in the project only need to be responsible for sending the goods to Amazon's domestic warehouse, and then the warehouse will directly send small packages to overseas consumers, which is expected to be delivered in 9~11 days. This is the same as the full custody model implemented by several other platforms, that is, the seller himself does not involve cross-border logistics, but leaves it all to the platform to complete.

On the front end, the homepage of the Amazon website will set up an entrance to the "low-cost store", and the browsing interface and presentation are quite different from the product pages of the main site. At the same time, low-priced stores have independent search result displays, and existing FBA products will not appear in the search results of low-priced stores, which will provide a more favorable competitive environment for low-priced store sellers.
