Why Japanese static proxies are a necessity for Amazon sellers?
The biggest headache for sellers doing Amazon on the Japanese site is often not product selection or operational skills, but the account is suddenly blocked. What many newbies don't realize is that the Japanese e-commerce platform is extremely strict in detecting IP addresses. For example, if the same computer has logged into multiple accounts, or if the IP address frequently switches cities, the wind control system may be triggered.
Last year, there was a real case: a Shenzhen seller used a common dynamic IP to manage the store, and as a result, the account was determined to be associated in the week before Prime Day, which led to the direct loss of half a year's preparations for the promotional activities. In this case, the use ofJapan Static Proxy IPIt will be effectively avoided, and a fixed IP address will allow the platform to determine a stable local device login over time.
3 Core Metrics for Selecting a Japanese Proxy IP
Not all proxy IPs are suitable for e-commerce operations, especially for Japanese site business that requires long-term stability. Here's a simple screening method:
norm | Qualifying standards | ipipgo solutions |
---|---|---|
IP purity | Residential IPs that have not been tagged by any platform | Real home broadband IP pools, each IP serves only a single customer |
geographic location | Precise IP targeting down to the municipal area | Supports designation of 13 major cities including Tokyo/Osaka |
Protocol Support | Simultaneous support for HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 | Full protocol support for all operational tools |
Three-step tutorial on setting up a static proxy
Take common browsers as an example (in practice, please adjust to the specific tool):
1. Select in the ipipgo backendJapanese Static Housing IPIt is recommended to select the city where the store is registered
2. Obtain a unique IP address, port, account password (recommended to be saved in an encrypted file)
3. Select Manual Configuration in the browser proxy settings, enter the corresponding parameters, and then visit ipcheck.net with the new IP to verify the location.
There is one detail that is especially important: every time before logging into the store, it is recommended to clear the browser cache first. A seller once kept the time zone information in the cache, which led to Japan IP + China time zone being recognized by the system abnormally.
Maintenance tips for long-term operations
Static IPs are not a one-off, and need to be used in conjunction with these operations:
- Check IP reputation 1 time per month: in the ipipgo backend of theIP Health CheckIn the function, you can see whether the IP is blacklisted or not.
- Simulate real user behavior: log in at a fixed time to avoid frequent operations in the middle of the night triggering anomalous alerts.
- Prepare a backup IP group: In case of unexpected situations, ipipgo's fast switching function can change to a new IP in less than 2 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I still need to change my computer's time zone after using a static IP?
A: Changes must be synchronized! Time zone, language, IP address trinity in order to pass the in-depth detection, it is recommended to set to Tokyo time + Japanese language system
Q: How many stores can I log into at the same time with one IP?
A: Strongly recommendedOne store, one IPEven if the stores are in different categories. There was a seller who used the same IP for two stores, which led to double blocking due to the association of the collection accounts.
Q: What should I do if I encounter a sudden IP failure?
A: ipipgo provides 7×24 hours technical support with an average response time of 3 minutes. There is also an IP replacement record function in the background, which makes it easy to track the login history of each store
When choosing a proxy service provider, you should pay special attention to the fact that many service providers claiming "Japanese native IPs" actually use data center IPs, while ipipgo's static IPs are all from local carriers such as NTT/SoftBank, and each IP carries real home broadband information, which is the ultimate guarantee to avoid account risks. This is the ultimate protection against account risks.
