Amazon is reportedly blocking sellers from shipping products deemed non-essential to its warehouses for the next few weeks. The online retailer sent out an email to vendors on Tuesday, saying that it would only accept "high-demand products" due to the coronavirus crisis.
Amazon allows third-party sellers on its website to use its storage and delivery network for a fixed fee — a service known as Fulfillment by Amazon. According to the new announcement, users of the service will no longer be able to ship non-essential products to Amazon.
Thankfully, customers will still be able to order those products from Amazon for as long as they remain in the warehouses. However, if the product they are looking for sells out by April 5 they will have to wait.
