Amazon Seller Global City Distribution Map! Putian is third, Xiamen is seventh! According to research, there are over 102000 Amazon merchants in Shenzhen, but this data is still a bit conservative, as some big sellers have registered many account stores with overseas entities. In addition, SmartScout has also released a historical data chart of Amazon's fee increases, showing that product prices on Amazon are generally showing an upward trend, which may be related to Amazon's fees and inflation. Data shows that as e-commerce growth slows down and supply chain follow-up leads to inventory surplus, Amazon product prices hit bottom in 2022. After the summer of 2022, there will be a steady increase throughout 2023 and a significant growth in 2024. The growth in 2024 is a response to the impact of inventory placement fees and low inventory fees on sellers. These two fees are newly introduced by the seller, forcing them to make awkward shipping decisions to avoid a 50 cent placement fee per item. Many people choose to pay fees and increase prices. Amazon's third-party sellers account for over two-thirds of the top 10 million ASINs. Their price fluctuations have a greater impact on the market than Amazon suppliers. They follow the general curve experienced by all ASINs. At the beginning of 2024, there is significant pressure to increase prices in response to new structural costs. Chinese sellers have also experienced similar price increases. Chinese sellers offer prices 10% lower than other sellers. Nevertheless, Chinese sellers have also felt the price increase when selling on Amazon.
