Hello Sellers 👋

Here a quick recap on how to report a violation:

Sellers are responsible for complying with all laws, regulations and Amazon policies when listing products. Amazon encourages sellers to report listing abuse or seller violations of Amazon’s policies or applicable law.

All reports are thoroughly investigated by our team.

For privacy reasons, the results of our investigations cannot be disclosed, but we will take any disciplinary actions that we find appropriate.

Policy violations are the result of a seller violating the activities listed on the Selling Policies and Code of Conduct page.

1. Go to Report Abuse
2. Select violation type
3. Provide concerned Order ID or ASIN/ISBN, as applicable
4. Make sure to include the following information in the Please describe your issue field, as applicable:

• The store or business name of the seller that you are reporting

• The ASIN or ISBN of the item’s detail page and the product title

• The marketplaces for which the violation has occurred

• A concise explanation of the violation based on the policy

• Supporting documentation (for example, order IDs, related messaging or receipts)

5. Submit

Best,

Simon

Hello Sellers,

In reference to the Reduced referral fee for low-price Clothing and Accessories announcement, we want to share with you a series of posts about the Referral Fees.

Let´s start with the question: What are Referral Fees?

• For all products, Amazon deducts the applicable referral fee percentage. The Referral Fee is calculated based on either the Sales Proceeds or the Fee Base Amount, which will be determined as explained in the Amazon Services Europe Business Solutions Agreement

• Sellers pay a referral fee on each item sold.

Please leave a comment if you have any questions or if there's additional information about the Referral Fees that you'd like us to cover in our next posts!

Best,

Julia.

Hello Sellers,

I hope everyone had a great weekend! 😄

We've recently seen sellers report cases of trademark infringement, which may qualify as an exception to Amazon's intellectual property policy, as below:

As per Amazon intellectual property policy, sellers can use someone else’s trademark in the following circumstances:

• When selling authentic goods, a seller may use a trademarked name to list those authentic goods. For example, a seller who lists an authentic “Pinzon” product is not necessarily infringing on the owner of the Pinzon trademark because the seller is using the trademark to identify an authentic product.

• When using a trademarked word in its ordinary dictionary, descriptive meaning.

• When selling authentic goods that can be customized by the buyer (that is, print-on-demand) using the seller’s own equipment. For example, a seller prints a custom, personalized message or picture on an authentic “Callaway” golf ball.

I'm working on each of your specific call outs in different threads.

I want to use this discussion exclusively for educational purposes.

How would you explain use of someone else’s trademark policy exemption to the seller who decides to start selling on Amazon?

Feel free to provide examples!

Waiting for your advices 🤓

Thanks,

Julia.

Hello Sellers,

We need your help to address an issue mentioned by a few Sellers on the Forum.

The current character limits in Seller Central are preventing some Sellers from fully entering their legal business names.

Specifically, the "Identity Information" section under "Account Info -> Business Information" only allows for company names up to approximately 40 characters. Any attempt to input a longer name results in truncation.

For Sellers with longer company names, this creates a mismatch between the name on their VAT registration and the name displayed in Seller Central.

To properly report this issue, we need more feedback from you:

1. Share your stories! You can provide specific examples and company names.
2. What proposal would you recommend for Amazon to support longer legal company names?

Drop your thoughts in the comments below. We’re listening!

Hey Sellers!

Happy Monday! Let's kick off the week with some fun! 🎉

If your Amazon journey was a movie, what would it be called? 💭

For me, it's "The Pursuit of Happiness" – riding the highs and lows of success! 🎢

Excited to hear your movie title picks

Hello Sellers,

We need your help to report an issue that was mentioned by others on the Forums:

How refund and reserve transactions related to orders are displayed in your Seller Central account.

Right now, when you receive refunds or reserves processed, those sometimes show up under the "Other" category without being directly tied to the specific order ID.

We know that can be confusing and make it tough to figure out what order those transactions are actually for.

To be able to properly report this issue we would need more feedback from you:

1. Can you share any specific examples and orders.

2. Do you have any ideas for showing this info in another way within Seller Central?

Looking forward to your replies.

-Winston
