When and How to Use Pre-orders and Back-orders
by Seller_mIRnuhdx7l5sN

Hello Sellers,

Have you ever wondered about the differences between pre-orders and back-orders? Here's what you need to know:

Pre-orders allow you to accept orders for products that haven't been released yet, enabling customers to purchase in advance of the release date. This is particularly useful when you're launching new products and want to gauge interest or secure sales before the official release.

Back-orders are for existing products that are temporarily out of stock but will be available again when restocked. This option helps you maintain sales momentum even when inventory is depleted, allowing customers to place orders whilst waiting for your restock.

You can set up these options through Seller Central:

  • For pre-orders, specify the product's release date during listing creation
  • For back-orders, set a restock date for your out-of-stock items

Both options require shipping within 30 days and are not available for Fulfilment by Amazon products or Music, Video and DVD items.

For more details, please consult the relevant help page: List a pre-ordered or back-ordered product.

Have you used pre-orders or back-orders before? Share your experience in the comments!

Cheers, Ezra

The FBA center has reserved our product inventory for more than 2 months without reason, which has resulted in our products being unable to be put on the shelves for sale. What is more serious is that the FBA center has not released our product inventory for a long time, resulting in these stocks being charged with excess inventory surcharges. We have created cases to contact the FBA center many times, but have not received any solution. We sellers use FBA for efficient logistics services, but from this incident, it seems that this is not efficient, and they even deliberately charge us excess inventory surcharges. I hope the FBA staff can help me solve this matter as soon as possible.

I have been advised by Account Health Support to reach out through this forum to request the help of the forum admins.

I Have spoken to various mid-level agents in Seller Support Leadership and Account Health Support Leadership about an issue (Case ID 9672281942). These conversations always end with the agent(s) advising me that they are unable to deal with the issue and they are going to escalate the matter up to the UK Executive Team (UK Head Office).

The case has been going on for over a year now and I have not yet spoken to the UK Executive Team.

I am now also getting Policy Violations for contacting Seller Support and Account Health Support to pursue this matter.

The agent I spoke to earlier today (Account Health Support) advised that I should reach out to the admins on the forum as they may have better luck getting this escalated up to the UK Executive Team (UK Head Office).

Elana from Acount Health Support Leadership spoke to me 9th March, x3 phone calls over several hours that day. After making a real effort to figure it out, she admitted defeat and advised she would be escalating up to the UK Executive Team (UK Head Office). This is not the first time I have been told to expect an escalation call back from the UK Executive Team (UK Head Office). I have spoken to them in the past about other issues (so I know they exist and they have phones), but they have not called me back about this new issue (yet).

Can somebody at Amazon actually get this escalated to a very senior level where they can call me back and deal with this please.

Price increases and Featured Offer
by Seller_5uBYL2LFkHdQM

Due to supplier costs increasing we have had to increase the price of one of our items slightly.

We sell our own brand and are the only sellers of it on Amazon.

Further complicating matters, I had to delete the listing and re-add it as it kept going to error when editing it. I re-added the listing and added one new colour variation. All the variations are the same price. However now the older variations have all lost the featured offer (as they're now too high a price according to Amazon). The new colour variation has the featured offer, presumably because it's never been sold before on Amazon.

Anything I can or could have done to avoid this? Will it eventually right itself? The price increase was not a huge amount. It was £29.99 and now its £32.99.

Thanks for any help or comments.

No tracked 48 on Buy ship
by Seller_2oAtlj7UwEmtU

I am looking to switch over to buy shipping all the time now however Tracked 48 is not avaliable but CRL 48 is. Why does Amazon think that CRL 48 is quicker than tracked? that makes no sense forcing me to use a worse service for a higher cost as CRL is 30p more expensive than the much better tracked 48 option.

Royal mail 2nd class large letter shipping costs
by Seller_sLo12uu4sVKIH

I have just started using Amazon buy shipping and used to use Royal mail click and drop for all my postage. This is because of the VTR rules which have forced me to use BUY shipping to keep my VTR level. When I use buy shipping and choose CRL 48 the manifest gets passed to my royal mail account and I get charged for the postage through my Royal Mail OBS account. When I select Royal Mail 2nd class postage I cant find how or if I get charged for the postage. My royal OBA account is not showing any charges for this and I cannot find any charges on my amazon account. Anyone have any similar experience with this. I have seen on other discussions that when other sellers (who dont use click and drop) use this method and take the packages to the post offices they cannot scan them. Its as though Amazon generate the label and expect the seller to somehow to pay for the shipping at the post office. Any help here would be great

We are a UK importer. We already have alcohol category approval but are not managing to ungate the Grocery and Gourmet category.

We have provided final invoices from the brand owner for 1,000 of units but keep getting rejected without an explanation, apart from to say that it is due to the invoice. We are the only company that import this brand into the UK but other companies that we supply are able to sell it on Amazon.

Brand approval to sell used books
by Seller_JuXmiUuCR8FoI

Hello

I have a problem listing a used copy of 'The Gonzo Papers Anthology' by Hunter S Thompson because I need brand approval from the publishers Picador. This seems unlikely because I have been able to list other Picador titles without such approval required. I have listed it on Ebay without any such nonsense-any thoughts please,

Thank you

I've sold a bundle of items on another platform to an InPost locker. One of the products I've sent in to FBA so I need to get one of them back.

What's the cheapest and best way to get one of them back to me? Create a removal order for 1 item or create a fulfilment order to my address?
