Account is restricted
by Seller_1J41YneNRIanp

Hi, I want to sell on Amazon. I did register a few years ago, but I deactivated it as I didn't have time to spend on selling. I checked the reason and it takes me to the VAT help page. I already uploaded my VAT number. Is there something else I should be doing?

I’ve held back from posting something like this, but after years of frustration and now facing outright absurd restrictions, I’ve had enough.

I’ve been selling on Amazon for over five years. I’m Brand Registered, I know how to work with flat files, feed templates, and everything else that comes with managing a large catalogue of listings. I sell raw materials, and all my listings use dimensional variations like 100mm x 50mm, 200mm x 100mm, and so on.

For years, these products have been listed using Amazon’s “Size Name” variation theme. But suddenly, that no longer is an option to me due to being greyed out on the variation spread sheets (back end feed files). I can’t add new variations, I can’t update existing ones, not because I’m doing anything wrong, but because the attribute box that should allow me to enter the variation value is now greyed out. It’s there, but unusable. I’ve tried downloading fresh category templates, reformatting files, even attempting manual uploads through the backend it’s the same every time.

Amazon has disabled functionality that used to be standard. I’ve got listings that have been live for years and now I can’t even add another size because Amazon won’t allow me to use a variation theme they previously approved. That said its still there just Greyed out to me.

I contacted support. Waste of time. You get the usual copy-paste tutorials from someone who clearly hasn’t read your case. If you’re lucky, you’re redirected to Brand Registry support… who then sends you back to Seller Support. And around we go.

This is just the latest in a long line of nonsense. Let me paint the full picture:

Over the past 2 years, I’ve dealt with:

Shipments mysteriously “counted and confirmed” as complete — even though Amazon later asks for invoices for the exact same units they said were received.

Reimbursement claims repeatedly rejected, even with flawless documentation. I had one case go through five rejections before finally being approved with no changes in evidence. It was the exact same documents — just a different agent who apparently decided to actually look.

Weight discrepancy excuses - Amazon has denied claims because the delivery weight scanned by UPS didn’t match the weight in the shipping plan, as if that somehow proves inventory wasn’t sent. I use Amazon’s partnered carrier. I pack everything myself. I have a 0.00% inbound defect rate. But somehow, a 16kg discrepancy gives them grounds to ignore the entire shipment.

Let’s not forget when they claimed my missing products were substituted with different ASINs completely unrelated to my brand. They told me I could just list those instead, despite the fact I’m brand registered and can’t sell someone else’s protected product. That suggestion alone shows how little care or knowledge exists behind the support desk.

And when Amazon did finally update their reimbursement policy, moving from paying based on average sale price to cost price only they began rejecting even that. I upload invoices matching my exact sourcing cost, and I’m told they’re not acceptable. Why? Because they apparently now prefer to compare my pricing to other sellers’ unrelated listings, even though I manufacture my own branded products that nobody else sells.

It’s so painfully obvious they’re making up the rules as they go.

In one shipment, 129 units were marked as having a "case pack error" and therefore “couldn’t be recovered.” Then, in the same case, I was told the tracking number didn’t even show delivery. How is that possible? Either the stock arrived and was mishandled, or it never got there. It can’t be both.

And when I respond to these contradictions, they close the case saying “no response received.” Even when I reply on time. Even when the case thread shows my reply.

I have tried to be professional. I’ve complied with everything. I’ve provided invoices, delivery records, product evidence even explanations for how my raw materials are processed in-house, which Amazon has accepted before. Yet I’m repeatedly asked to submit the same documents again and again, only to be met with silence, rejections, or worse: cases auto-closed.

What’s really happening here? Amazon is slowly tightening the noose on small businesses.

They block you from listing your own products,

deny reimbursements through technicalities,

rewrite their own rules and policies,

then gaslight you into thinking it’s your fault.

I’d appreciate it if you could advise further on my latest issue with the Variation black out attributes

Thanks

Incorrect Dimensions causing higher FBA fees
by Seller_xh0d5SePkpEtU

Hello Everyone,

I am hoping some one can help here / advise.. is anyone from Amazon here please need your help.

Our prodcut dimensions was incorrect which causing us to pay higher FBA fees, we sent the proof of measurement and the main issue is the height only which causing us to pay higher FBA fees. our product height is 2.4cm and when we raised we got reply that there is no change and height still is 3.71cm looks like they just copying from the system. When we raised the case again they measured it correctly and chat representative told me that after measurement height is 2.50cm and you should be in lower tier of FBA (for standard envelope) but you need to wait 48hr before system to get update as I can see internal system showing 2.50cm,but few days passed and sytem no updated probably due to refund...

anyway we raised this system issue gain but was told they will do the re measurement again, please note that we didn't request for re measurement this time as we were hoping that system will get update correctly as was told in previous chat. but they told us that only option is to do the re measurment and they came up this time again with 3.71cm forcing us to pay higher FBA fees which we didn't agree and after few messages they did the remeasruement and on 06/06/2025 we got 2.40cm happy days but again system not updated this time :( we waited 48 hrs and then when we contacted through chat they said as few measurments were done recently so they will use median :) which will force us to pay higher FBA fees...they simply forcing us to keep paying higher FBA fees for no reason :(.

what should I do now? anyone please from amazon can step in and looks for us please this is clearly not accepted.

Case IDs: 11103443982 , 11146391312 (on 6th June they confirmed height is 2.40cm).

Community Suggestion - Daily Poll Discussion
by Seller_1O9Zf9odnBBK5

As we all are well aware. Amazon really listens to our feedback and makes changes to benefit sellers.

With the Daily Polls, Amazon clearly would like our feedback on them. If they didn't, why would they ask?

With the comment section limit being quite small, I propose we open the floor daily to discuss it!

Seller fraud
by Seller_iQeXJUQDiGIqU

needing some help. I have a personal account ordering £5/600 worth of units and then claiming a refund. The units are never returned. This person also has a seller account to the same address and is selling the same items they are stealing from me. This has occurred with every order they have placed, costing me over £1500. I need help asap to get this blatant fraud investigated and stopped. Also is there any way for me to get this money back ? Thanks

Hello, This accounting yeat I have come close to the VAT threshold (including all Amazon "expenses" such as FBA fees).

These expenses come to almost £20K (roughly half of which are FBA fees {carriage, warehousing etc}).

Should I be including FBA fees when calculating my VAT taxable turnover?

Thanks
