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

Hello sellers

Critical Issue:

- My entire shipment (**8 products, all units**) was marked **defective** upon arrival

- **Zero valid defects** – Professional prep, perfect condition

- Amazon provides **no evidence**, just auto-replies

**The Red Flags:**

1. **100% defect rate is statistically impossible**

2. **Prime Eligible status appeared briefly** before the defective flags

3. **No damage photos or specific reasons** provided

**Questions for the Community:**

1. Is this happening to others post-Q4?

2. Any success forcing Amazon to prove defects?

3. @AmazonModerator – How do we escalate when the system clearly errored?

**What I’ve Tried:**

- Standard support (useless)

- Performance team (ignored)

- Jeff email (bot response)

@Danny_Amazon, @Topher_Amazon, @Glenn_Amazon, @Dougal_Amazon, @Blake_Amazon, @Sandy_Amazon, @Michelle_Amazon, @Tatiana_Amazon, @Micah_Amazon, @Emet_Amazon, @CR_AmazoN

Hey!

I'm really stuck on how to navigate this, I don't seem to be making any profit as it all goes on advertising. If I keep advertising on, I get sales but all profit goes on the advert. If I turn advertising off, I get 0 sales. It seems like I'm going round in circles.

Does anyone have any advice?

Why does Amazon allow such incompetence?
by Seller_AJxxLujbGDqaW

Why is it that there are so many errors in the Amazon catalogue that it is a joke, well, it would be a joke if it wasn't so serious, images in green the product is pink, 12 pack of an item when it is only one, so many different issues with incorrect listings and nobody will listen, seller support are powerless, the catalogue team don't talk to seller support and there is nobody else to appeal to, so the only option is to remove the listing or get a customer complaint for incorrect items and the listing remains for the World to see with serious errors.

Sellers could resolve this issue if only someone would listen, if a seller supplies images and 100% proof that a listing is incorrect, then why can it not be changed?

This issue with the catalogue is now at a level where it is making Amazon look completely incompetent and causing huge issues with returns and bad customer service.

When Amazon expect such high standards from sellers, why are there such poor standards in Amazon itself?

Daectuvated UK account
by Seller_lApNHgJSZ4HQ3

Hi,

Our UK account was deactivated due to a rejected VAT number, caused by a mismatch between the information registered with HMRC and our business account name.

The only solution we have found so far has been to request a brand new VAT number from HMRC, ensuring that it fully matches the business account name we use across both the EU and the UK. However, the process is taking time, and our account has now been deactivated for over a month.

I understand that Amazon can grant a grace period in situations like this if we can provide evidence that a new VAT number has been requested — which we are able to do. Over the past three weeks, I have contacted support multiple times to request this grace period, but I keep receiving standard replies explaining how to submit a VAT number for approval, without addressing my actual request.

Would it be possible for someone to help escalate this matter to the VAT team? We would be extremely grateful for the opportunity to receive a grace period while waiting for our new VAT number to be issued.

Many thanks for your support.

Best regards,

@Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP

On Time Delivery - Affecting our Listing lead times
by Seller_L7r7lC30GBvkX

Hello Mods,

I'm looking for some assistance regarding our OTD rate, currently it's dropped to 42% from previous highs. However, upon further investigation, we can see that the majority of the issues relate to our DX Freight shipment - prior to our account being properly integrated, which we believe to now be fixed.

We have/had supplied tracking for every order and looking at a sample of 15 orders, i can see they were all delivered on time with proof.

I've attempted to raise this with seller support, but yet to have a response - given the urgency of the matter as it's affecting our delivery times (and thus our sales) I would appreciate some support on the matter.

FBA shipping question
by Seller_yjbkAvRIojIw4

I've created a shipment to be sent off to Amazon through their partnered courier program. I can't remember when I schudeled for the pickup. I'm sure it was meant to be today, but can't seem to find any correspondance for this. Or are these shipments meant to be taken to a local store when UPS collect from?

Just me? Royal Mail -
by Seller_ZjZ4slOF0jHpk

More and more I'm getting customers (rightly) annoyed at items (2nd class letter size) taking up to 9-10 working days to deliver. Often the replacement & original turn up on the same day - in other words, holding back mail until they have enough to 'justify' going to that address.

Yes, I offer 1st class upgrades from letters up to ParcelForce sizes. But not many are willing to pay the extra charge, especially for a low value item.

Anyone else experiencing the same?
