Welcome to Seller Forums

I regularly send small items (usually €15 - €30 in value) from the UK to EU countries using Royal Mail International Standard large letter service, which costs me around £3.40.

However, with Amazon's new Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) requirements, it seems I'm now being forced to use Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed, which jumps the cost to £9.95, which is often more than the item itself. This feels completely disproportionate and unsustainable for low cost items.

Has anyone found any reliable and more affordable alternatives that comply with Amazon’s VTR policy? I’d really appreciate hearing what other sellers are doing to manage this.

I received a negative feedback on a football cake topper, with the customer claiming I sent the wrong colour. However, the customer selected red when placing the order, and I’ve confirmed that we did indeed send a red topper as requested.

The topper includes a team name, and the customer had entered "Derby County." They are now saying the topper should have been black, as that is the team’s official colour. However, there was no mention of this in the order notes—only the team name and a red colour selection.

I feel this isn’t my fault, as I strictly followed the customer’s instructions. Do you have any suggestions on how best to handle this or what action I should take regarding the feedback?

Hi I have been ignoring the alert to update my selling information and today saw my account put on hold until i uploaded the info required. I did this earlier today and submitted but nothing has changed. Tried submitting multiple times but still nothing. Spoke with seller help and they said i haven't yet pressed submit. Tried using different docs and still no change.

Does this normally take a while to be looked at or should it be pretty instant? After i click submit the next page says the information is being reviewed and the page will refresh in 30 seconds. After a minute or so it refreshes and prompts me to "review and update my selling on amazon account information". Back on the dashboard there is nothing to say my uploaded information is under review and there is no sign of any change after pressing submit except I get a performance notification which states "We are conducting a review of your Amazon Payments Account. We need additional information or documents to continue with your account verification. In accordance with regulations, you must complete an account verification process. Please go to the Identity Information page to provide the required information or documents:"

Am i doing something wrong? My account has been on hold all day and I can't see how to get it back active again. I have checked each document fits the criterea they have asked for and that all information provided matches.

Many thanks for any help that can be offered!

Hello.

I noticed a competitor has listed a different version of a product I sell under the same listing (different language version with a different barcode) which I've verified with a test order. Its FBA

The product they are selling on the listing already has another ASIN which they also have it listed under. Seems to be a ploy to take my sales if not an error.

I understood this was against Amazon policy.

I reported the violation but got the following message:

"Thank you for your report of a suspected policy violation. We cannot take action on the report as no violation has been identified on the reported Bxxxxxxx for the violation type selected."

Help appreciated.

Hi,

I have a business account in the uk and I live in Uk too. Business Amazon account.

This Year I received an email from amazon to re-verify my business details.

As I added new beneficiary as well in the business on companies house plus on amazon seller central.

But My verification is failed and deactivated my account for identity issues failed verification.

Below I am getting the same generic reply after appeals

Anyone can guide?

I have a customer who opened an A-Z claim but then received there order a few hours later. They customer contacted me and asked to close the claim saying that they did not know how to do it. I said I would contact Amazon selling partner (what a joke!) to fix the problem. I contacted Seller Support (who were actually really helpful) and the representative said that they could clearly see that the customer wanted to close the claim and that it was very obvious that the buyer felt that the matter was resolved and that they wanted to close the claim, they said it will be no problem and fully explained to the relevant department that they wanted claim should be closed. Moments later I received a message from the A-Z department saying they are upholding their decision EVEN THOUGH THE CUSTOMER HAS REQUESTED THAT THE CLAIM SHOULD BE CLOSED!!!!!!! As usual this will mean more back and forth between myself and Seller Support, I feel that the only party in this transaction that doesn’t want a fair outcome is my supposed selling partner who are here to help (another joke!) the customer even offered to purchase the product again and for me not to send it but why should they have to do that when it’s crystal clear that they want to close the claim! Here are the messages, I don’t know what is so hard to understand???!!!!

I’ll be totally honest, selling on Amazon is starting to effect my mental health, I feel so depressed and anxious all the time, I find myself waking up at ridiculous times in the night to check that there’s not another ridiculous decision or some stupid new policy (like DD+7, the bane of my existence) I dread contacting Amazon for anything, I can literally feel the stress as soon as I have to do it. I really wish I never started selling on this blasted website! If someone is literally saying that they want to close the claim why does Amazon need to be so awkward. I used to recommend others to sell on here, now I warn them not to ruin their lives on here!!!!

Hello all,

For years I was using a cheap £40 HP printer to print my amazon FNSKU barcode labels. It largely worked but did have issues and so I thought I'd upgrade.

I print on A4 paper which has 21 barcode labels per sheet.

I then bought a Brother printer which was useless, and since then I have bought an Epson EcoTank which is even more useless! I'm so tired of these printers. The Epson was recommended as a good printer of labels but yet it jams so frequently.

Thermal printers are not an option for me for a number of reasons I won't get into.

I was just wondering and praying really that someone could recommend me a decent regular printer for this?

Thank you :)

Why did I just put myself through the pain of trying to speak to seller support. I have had a policy violation for trademark misuse for using the word guess in my title. The product I sell is a game and the word guess is part of the games title. Its nothing to do with the brand guess, its an action word. I had the same issue with another product a few weeks ago and spoke to seller support who passed it to the relevant team and it was sorted within 24 hours. Yet today I just got absolutely nowhere. I asked if they could pass it to the relevant team and was told no. Banging head against brick wall!!! Can one of the mods help?

Does anyone know how to convert variation listings to FBM Prime?

We already fulfil orders ourselves, but without a Prime Badge. Whenever we research, it keeps coming up with the same convert to FBA, which is not what we want to do.

Any help would be much appreciated.
