<div class="lplh-29">Many vendors are in a difficult spot right now trying to navigate the reasoning behind the recent decision to stop Amazon replenishment orders. Is Vendor Central a thing of the past or is this just a technical glitch? Some vendors have been told by Amazon that it's just a technical glitch while others have been told that Amazon is no longer purchasing directly from them and that they need to open a Seller Central account. No one truly knows... yet.</div>

<div class="lplh-29">Though very abrupt, we're not surprised with the decision as Amazon has hinted that this day may come. <a href="https://retailbloom.com/" rel="noopener">Marketplace sellers</a> working through Seller Central now make up over 53% of all retail sales on Amazon. Combine that with margin challenges on the vendor side, and this may simply be a move towards scaling their referral and fulfillment revenue... <em>likely a more profitable portion of their business.</em></div>

<ol>

<li><strong>Wait</strong>. If it is a technical issue, it may be resolved, but there is no information pointing in that direction so don't wait too long.</li>

<li><strong>Partner more closely with an Amazon 3P (third-party)</strong>: If you have other third-party retailers selling your products, work with them to support you more heavily on the platform as quickly as possible.</li>

<li><strong>Set up your own direct to consumer strategy via Seller Central&nbsp;</strong></li>

<li><strong>Partner with a new, qualified marketplace seller or marketplace service provider:&nbsp;</strong>This is a huge decision with many pros and cons. <em><strong>Don't panic.</strong></em> Investigate all of your Vendor Central options and make the best decision for your brand.</li>
