Seller Fulfilled Prime Trial - What is it exactly?
We were early in the SFP program, part of the beta, and participated for years. We just rejoined on trial yesterday.
With SFP, Amazon can really kick you out at any time. So what exactly is the 30 trial, since you can be kicked out at any time afterwards anyways?
Is it 30 days for evaluation, rather than a rolling 7 days, in order to iron out kinks?
Is it limited/throttled Prime velocity?
Is it Prime in SC admin panel, but no badging on site? (We do not see our products listed with Prime badging, but we are getting orders tagged as prime)
Is it some combo of all of these? Other factors?

More issues with the trial already:
1) We have 4 warehouses nationwide, so our 1&2 day coverage is nearly 100%, yet we are not even close to meeting their speed metrics. This seems like an internal issue since we provide the coverage needed. All of our listings are oversized and XL.
2) We are showing data/failure for "standard-size" items. We do not have a single standard-size item listed.
I'd like to know how Amazon is serving the prime offers for trial-participants. How can this data be accurate in this case, and how can participants be held accountable?
If anyone has further trial pitfalls, I'd love to hear them. Maybe we can help each other and help Amazon with the rollout.
