To get ahead of this, work on forecasting your sales according to trends that may increase purchasing (seasonality, sales, etc), and keep on top of managing your inventory quantities.
Past sales and customer feedback tie directly into Amazon’s A9 algorithm. They care about sending product search results to their customers that they know will create a positive buying experience. When a customer is happy with their order from you, the seller, they are also happy with Amazon as an ecommerce platform.
Amazon wants to know that if a customer purchases from you, they will receive the product they want, the quality they expect, and in a timely fashion. A few tips to ensure your sales and fulfilment methods fit the bill:
