一時間亞馬遜賣家哀聲一片：


當然也有賣家對亞馬遜此舉表示理解：

     為什么封號？據稱，有刷單、刷評、刷Feedback的，一個都跑不掉（可能有小部分是誤傷）。這次是安全小組人工比對收貨地址、電話、賬單地址、付款賬號、IP，等等一系列信息，據說先是拉黑買家信息，這個買家購買記錄中賣家按交易比例處罰。如果同時有多名刷單買家被拉黑，又同時出現在這個店鋪，就封店。
     這一事件的導火索是美媒對于亞馬遜刷單的報道發酵。美國三大全國性商業廣播電視網之一CBS（哥倫比亞廣播公司）前段時間播出了有關于亞馬遜刷單的新聞，其中提到，部分民眾在自己沒有進行任何購買的情況下，收到了來自亞馬遜平臺的貨物，甚至有買家展示出來數十個包裹。他們并不認為這是占了便宜，反而對自己的信息泄露非常不滿。







亞馬遜官方對此的回應是：
將調查所有這樣來歷未明的包裹，如果發現供應商或評論者濫用review系統，亞馬遜將關閉其賬戶。



緊接著年后上班又來一棒：2月23日，亞馬遜大規模給賣家發警告郵件“Policy Warning”：
