Important: Business name and address to be displayed on the seller profile, starting September 1st

Amazon announced earlier in July that starting on September 1st 2020, your Business name and address will be visible on your seller profile. Before you freak out, we believe that this a good thing!

Why?

This will finally give (legit) sellers and brands from the US a competitive advantage over sellers from China and Asia. American Consumer can now actively choose to buy from an American Brand / Seller. The official statement from Amazon is:

These features help customers learn more about the businesses of a seller and the products that they are selling. We are making this change to ensure there is a consistent baseline of seller information to help customers make informed shopping decisions.

We have long seen this trend, finally it seems like there might some changes coming that could benefit American Brands and Sellers!
