by Seller_IZOsKfcRSZMaO

Hello

We received Amazon seller account warning on Wednesday which was to do with ITEM NOT AS ADVERTISED/ WRONG ITEM. Now they have highlighted 4 ASINS but we noticed one that had the most issues. The email was headed with Amazon Seller account warning and the second email after our PoA got rejected was Your Amazon.co.uk Selling Account

We sent in a PoA to appeal but it was rejected . Now i have spent past 2 hours researching and i have come with a NEW PoA but i need some help and guidance . I don’t want to cause more pain for our business we are at the mercy of Amazon it has already caused me a lot of stress.

The bizzare thing is the first email said the listings have been deactivated but they haven’t.I would be greatful someone could help us with this we are a small family business and things like this cause some stress has it our source of income.

@Kika

Thanks

My PoA

The root cause(s) that led to the complaints about the condition of your items.
We have received a complaint of item not advertised/wrong item, we have identified ASIN XXXX, XXXX. After carefully reviewing my seller feedback, product reviews and checking the A-z claims and returns comments, I have determined that the complaints were caused by incorrect title, description.

ASIN : 1

  • The product page for ASIN1 included incorrect product title and mentioned incorrect information in the bullet points.

  • The product quality of the ASIN 1 supplied by the supplier has changed since the original listing was made.

ASIN : XXXX2, XXX3

  • The product page for ASIN2,ASIN3included an incorrect image.

ASIN 4

  • The product (table tennis balls ) were not packaged in a protective packaging, which would protect it against changing shape.

The actions you have taken to resolve the complaints about the condition of your items.

ASIN 1

  • I have placed a removal order request for ASIN 1 so that we can inspect the quality of the product and discard the units with poor quality.

  • I have authorised refunds for all customers who have brought ASIN 1 in the last 30 days.

  • I have notified the supplier that the quality and feature has changed.

  • I have corrected the incorrect product page information in CASE ID : 5001225892

  • Prior to sending any new inventory to FBA(ASIN 1), I will personally check the bath ducks physically and verify it matches the matches the updated title and bullet points.

ASIN : 2, ASIN3

  • I have updated the listing to include the correct images for ASIN2, ASIN3

ASIN 4

  • -While the table tennis balls ASIN4 were packed in polybag, we will now place them a small parcel box with bubble wrap to prevent them getting damaged during transit.

Steps taken to prevent future complaints about the condition of your items.

ASIN1

  • I will be regularly performing quality control checks of all products when it arrives from our supplier . This will be done randomly and I will personally physical inspect the products.

  • I have personally updated our internal standard operating procedure to keep a sample of each product therefore we can monitor the quality of the product over time.

ASIN : 2,ASIN3

  • We will verify each picture by physical viewing the product while listing any new items.

ASIN4

  • We have trained and reworked our process so that fragile items are packed with protective packaging.

In reply to: Seller_IZOsKfcRSZMaO’s post

I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with appealing Customer Product Condition Complaints on your selling account.

I have checked your appeal and I have to say that it’s not bad, however it is too short and only talking about specific ASINs, whereas a proper Plan of Action should be addressing the entire issue in general.

You don’t need to divide the appeal into ASINs at all, simply talk about “complaints about the condition and description of your items”.

For example:

- After carefully reviewing my seller feedback, product reviews and checking the A-z claims and returns comments, I have determined that these complaints were caused by insufficient product description and incorrect details displayed on the product detail pages of several ASINs, which are present in my inventory.

- Some of my products were not packaged in a protective packaging, which would protect them against damage during transit.

Also, there are some things which I wouldn’t mention at all:

*If you are going to talk about this, then say that you have authorised returns, not refunds. So that you can inspect the merchandise and process the returns according to the Amazon policy, which doesn’t require or expect sellers to refund without a return.

This will not work. If you are going to say that you created a removal order, it has to be already fully completed, otherwise don’t include it.

Checking whether units match updated title and bullet points doesn’t make a sense.

This can be mentioned in your appeal, but you don’t need to specify the ASIN.
