Why Use Amazon Buy Shipping?
I am now finding out that A-Z Guarantees raised by customers impact your ODR rate when Amazon Policy states it shouldn't if using Amazon Buy Shipping.
I know i should refund if a CRL large letter isn't scanned by Royal Mail but can't see the benefit in using Amazon Buy Shipping going forward if ODR rate is impacted.
I have appealed these decisions but the bots or whoever reads the A-Z guarantee appeals don't seem to know their own policy even when it's quoted. Before December my appeals were successful.
Link to Policy: https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/help/hub/reference/G200202220
Amazon Buy Shipping Policy states the following: A-to-z Guarantee claims: If you purchase Amazon’s Buy Shipping and dispatch on time, you are protected against A-to-z claims where a customer reports problems with delivery. Those claims will not affect your Order Defect Rate but you are still responsible for the financial loss of these claims.
Is anybody still having any luck in appealing when it impacts ODR?
Can anybody say why we should use Amazon Buy Shipping if the policy is being ignored?

With us it is hit and miss whether we get the order defect. Sometimes the appeal is effective built most times denied.
Amazon offer you the incentive of ODR protection to purchase through them, and I presume they will be making money from this, if they then do not provide this protection are they not committing fraud. I know if I refused to provide something I used as an incentive to buy one of my products in our shop Trading Standards would be down on us like a ton of bricks.

Hello @Seller_tIxmXsqZeXpx5,
This is Sarah with Amazon.
Could you share the Seller Support case IDs so I can look at the details and see if I can assist you.
Kind regards,
