Amazon Tightens Return Rate Rules for Sellers

Data analysis tools like ECPP ERP can help sellers identify problematic products and monitor risks, building automated protection capabilities. This proactive approach is crucial for maintaining a healthy Amazon business and avoiding penalties associated with excessive returns.
