False Claim From Customer
by Seller_VD3YaOWQaUJde

Hi,

I have had a customer contact Amazon to say the parcel i sent has arrived damaged and requested a refund. Amazon have refunded the customer but when i checked the tracking the parcel was left outside her porch door with no damage to the box at all. I have contacted the customer but not getting any response.

Should i just take it on the chin and take the £20 loss or should i take any further action?

Royal Mail leaving parcels outside
by Seller_Cly3S2XbxgEnG

Anyone else having issues with Royal Mail leaving parcels outside lately?

I don't recall it having these issues before with RM, only with couriers like Evri. Is this something they started to do? We've had a spike in these kinds of issues.

Surprisingly, some have been left outside the doors of community apartments. I really don't know how any sensible person thinks its safe to do this, you wouldn't leave your own property out in a hallway never mind outside where anyone can take the parcel.

Significant decrease of sales through Amazon
by Seller_i3BQXQMmRlwip

I am selling toys and I have noticed a significant decrease of sales through Amazon last months (around 30-50% in comparsion with same period of last year). I am doing the same things like in the past (checking the supplies, prices, etc), also I have a positive account health.

Have you notices same problems, or is this a common sign of any sales in Amazon, or were there some changes in the system or new rules?? Dont you know what could be the reason?

Missing Offer Error
by Seller_1Nt9S8piEeRAn

I've trying to refresh a product listing. I recently changed accounts. I've raised several cases with Amazon but still keep getting 'missing offer' error. I've filled in all the attributes for the product - even those tht I think are irrelevant. Any ideas what I can do please? Thanks, Lisa

Hi everyone

I'm dealing with a difficult buyer situation and would appreciate your thoughts or advice

A recent buyer received their order one day later than expected. I understand this can be frustrating, and I have offered a discount as a gesture of goodwill. However, the buyer insisted on a full refund without returning the item, and when I declined, she began sending messages that were increasingly aggressive.

She stated she would “leave her review all over social media” if I didn’t comply. Despite my efforts to resolve the situation professionally, she left a 1-star review claiming the products were expired. In fact, the items clearly show a manufacturing date, not an expiration date, and the product has a long shelf life remaining.

I’ve reported the review through Seller Central and flagged the buyer’s messages as inappropriate. Sadly, they disagree. Has anyone experienced something similar? What steps (if any) helped get this kind of review removed?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Understanding Amazon's Selling Restrictions
by Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP
Amazon replied

Hello sellers,

We have been seeing a lot of threads where sellers are reporting increased cases of initial selling authorization denials and existing authorization revocations. Let´s dive into this:

Selling on Amazon comes with great opportunities, but also important responsibilities. One key aspect you need to understand is Amazon's product selling restrictions. Let's break down what these restrictions mean for your business and how to navigate them successfully.

What Are Amazon's Selling Restrictions?

Amazon implements selling restrictions to protect customers and maintain trust in the marketplace. These restrictions ensure that products sold are:

  • Safe for customers
  • Authentic and genuine
  • Compliant with local regulations
  • Meeting Amazon's quality standards

Types of Restrictions

Restrictions can apply at multiple levels:

  • Individual ASINs
  • Specific brands
  • Entire categories
  • Sub-categories
  • Brands within certain categories

Note: Some products may have multiple layers of restrictions, requiring separate approvals for each level.

How to Check if You Need Approval

  1. Log into Seller Central
  2. Go to "Add a Product"
  3. Click "Show limitations"
  4. Review any restrictions or requirements listed

The Approval Process

If you discover you need approval to sell a product:

  1. Submit an application through Seller Central
  2. Provide required documentation, which may include:
  • Purchase invoices from manufacturers or authorized distributors
  • Product photos
  • Compliance certificates
  • Safety documentation
  • Other category-specific requirements

Important: Not all restricted products accept applications. If you see "Your account does not qualify" or there's no "Apply to sell" option, that restriction cannot be lifted at this time.

Managing Ongoing Restrictions

Keep in mind that:

  • Restrictions can change over time
  • Previously approved products may become restricted
  • New documentation may be required periodically
  • Performance issues can affect your ability to sell restricted products

What If Your Application Is Declined?

If your application is declined, you can:

  1. Review the rejection reason carefully
  2. Gather new or additional documentation
  3. Submit a new application when ready
  4. Monitor for any changes in restrictions

Pro Tip: Keep detailed records of all your approval documentation, as you may need to reference them later.

Best Practices for Success

  1. Research restrictions before sourcing products
  2. Maintain high-quality documentation
  3. Stay informed about category requirements
  4. Monitor your account health regularly
  5. Keep records of all approvals and documentation

Remember: Amazon Selling Partner Support cannot provide additional information about certain restriction decisions. The best approach is to monitor the categories you're interested in and watch for changes in restrictions over time.

Slow Sales
by Seller_LV7u1trC9Mscd

Hi,

So this June our sales have been great, no half term/bank holidays in the UK so for the first month in a while we have had a full swing at it with no interruptions,

Everything was going well until about Wednesday when sales have just seemed to fall off a cliff, we haven't changed anything, our buy box percentage is pretty much the same, we haven't been altering prices it has just totally died.

Has anyone else had anything similar in the last week? Just seems strange how we have gone from flying to virtually nothing in the space of a few days,

Hi Moderators,

I'm reaching out here because the Feedback Manager has once again failed to remove clearly unfair and policy-violating feedback, and I urgently need your help.

Case ID: 11280267532

Here’s what happened:

A customer ordered a product that is clearly described as plastic bottles — the word “plastic” is mentioned in both the title and description. However, the buyer later submitted a return request stating:

"I assumed I ordered glass bottles."

This is entirely a buyer mistake not a fault with the product or with our service. Still, as a gesture of goodwill, I offered to accept the return, following Amazon’s rules, with the condition that the buyer covers original and return shipping since we were not at fault.

In response, the customer left the following negative feedback:

"I think it’s so unreasonable that if you’re not happy with your goods that you should have to pay original shipping and return shipping."

This feedback is NOT related to our service. It’s a personal opinion about Amazon’s return policy and an attempt to shift blame for a mistake the buyer made by not reading the listing.

Despite this, Feedback Manager rejected our removal request.

How is this fair? Sellers are being punished publicly for things we didn’t do and Amazon's automated tools are failing to protect us from misuse of the feedback system.

I am respectfully asking you to step in and escalate this.

We followed all policies, acted professionally, and still got hit with damaging feedback for something that was not our fault.

This kind of situation makes it feel like sellers are left completely unsupported.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to look into this.
