双十一系列：送别“刷单”时代，千亿盛宴继续
By King & Wood
【前言】 双十一的大幕徐徐降落，各大平台纷纷发布战报，千亿级的全民盛宴依然继续。然而，千亿盛宴的背后，我们也关注到了各方对于电商交易回归真实、回归理性的期待，其中特别典型的便是对于“刷单”行为的杜绝。自今年4月底开始，某知名跨境电商平台启动了近年来最大规模的“封号”行动，在此期间，多家中国跨境电商卖家损失惨重。据该平台的统计，此次“封号”行动中，总共关闭约600个中国品牌、3000个账号；而据深圳市跨境电子商务协会7月统计，此次“封号”行动波及超过5万中国商家，行业损失金额预估超千亿元。部分业内人士表示，在未来还会有更多账号被该平台查封，目前至少有20万到30万个卖家账号存在问题，已被列入审查范围。该平台对于卖家采取“封号”处罚的原因在于，这些卖家多次反复滥用评论功能，实施了包括操纵评论、商品中放礼品卡索评、通过在社交媒体上使用现金等方式索取虚假评论等“刷单”行为，违反了该平台的相关政策；在“封号”之前，该平台曾对这些卖家进行过多次警告，并给予他们多次申诉机会，甚至恢复了一些停用过的账号，但是这些卖家持续的违规，因此该平台最终决定终止与这些卖家的合作关系。
