Most of these entities sold products through Amazon-owned Cloudtail and Appario , companies that helped in fulfilling orders and have now stopped operations due to restrictions. In the absence of guidelines and directions from Amazon, the small sellers have started leaving.“There has been no communication and direction to us from Amazon on the matter. “We have introduced several initiatives and services such as Easy Ship and Service Provider Network to ensure a robust marketplace for sellers of all sizes to sell and grow. “No one is telling us to exit — we are exiting on our own since there is lack of clarity,” said a small seller of household products. Some entities voiced their displeasure on Facebook’s Amazon India Sellers page, a discussion forum for Indian sellers on the marketplace.
