Handling Defective or Incorrect Returns
by Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP

Hello Sellers,

We Community Managers are happy to help you with A-Z Guarantee claims. Recently, however, we've seen a lot of cases where previously submitted returns of incorrect or defective items were not processed correctly. So, here's a brief explanation of how to handle such returns and avoid misunderstandings regarding A-Z Guarantee claims.

So, how do you do it?

If you receive the item from the customer and notice that it's in poor condition or isn't the correct item, take a photo of the shipment. To be on the safe side, try to include any tracking numbers/labels legibly in your photo.

Regardless of the circumstances of the return, the policy stipulates that a refund must be processed within 48 hours of receipt of the return. If the return is defective, you should select the Partial Refund option. Here you have the option to upload a photo and note the condition of the item. A partial refund is also possible for 0% of the purchase price.

Once you have processed the partial refund, inform the customer about the reasons for the partial refund via the messaging system. Here you can then discuss further steps to resolve the situation with the customer.

Under no circumstances should you close the return or inform the customer in advance and wait for a response without initiating a refund. If the return is faulty, note it as described above and then resolve the situation. A partial refund does not preclude a further full refund after the problem has been resolved.

Important: These explanations do not apply to returns with a refund after the first scan. For these, see therefund policy for seller-fulfilled orders with prepaid Amazon return labels.

Regards, Spencer

We have over 2000 listings and noticed on Amazon marketplace yesterday that some of them will be delivered 20-22 May, but some others will be delivered 20-23 May. Those with 20-23 May have disgusting red writing stating “Usually dispatched within 2 to 3 days” (I call it a sale prevention).

We have one shipping template for all of the listings (RM 2-3 days). Default Handling Time is set to 2 days, with a cut off time 3am. All listings have 2 days set individually in Handling time too. Automated handling time was activated by Amazon (AGAIN) yesterday, but I switched it off yesterday (AGAIN). Our listings this morning still don’t show this change and we have two different delivery dates across all of our listings. WHAT AM I MISSING???

LOST BUY BOX
by Seller_2yFH70S6vgZZ3

Hello fellow sellers and Amazon support,

I’m reaching out to share a critical issue that’s severely impacting my business and to ask if anyone has experienced a similar situation.

Until May 1st, I was holding the Buy Box on approximately 1500–1600 listings consistently. My account health was excellent — my Order Defect Rate (ODR) was around 0.69%, well below the 1% threshold. There were no performance notifications, no account health flags, and no significant customer complaints or policy violations.

However, on or around May 1st, my Buy Box eligibility dropped suddenly to 0 across all my listings. Since then, I’ve not been able to win the Buy Box on any product, even though I am currently the lowest-priced seller on hundreds of listings.

To clarify:

My account has never been suspended or warned.

My metrics remain within Amazon’s required thresholds.

I’ve contacted Seller Support, but the only explanation I received was that the issue might be related to my ODR, which clearly was not a problem when the loss occurred.

This abrupt change with no clear reason is not only frustrating but devastating for my business, as Buy Box visibility directly affects our sales.

I’m hoping someone from the community or Amazon's support can shed some light on:

Whether there might be a system bug or recent algorithm change affecting Buy Box allocation?

What additional steps I can take to recover my Buy Box eligibility?

Any help or shared experience would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

I tried to contact support but as usall useless , I tried to contact through email but they said to contact support center, A classic amazon loop. So dear seniors guide what to do with this matter.

I don’t even know where to start. I’ve been selling on Amazon for a while, doing everything by the book. I offer real products, ship with FBA, maintain a clean account, and I treat every buyer with respect. But none of that mattered in the end.

A buyer named Janet Payne has been repeatedly purchasing the same item from my listing. Each time, she claims "performance or quality not adequate" — but never once returns the product, never files an A-to-Z, never goes through any official complaint route.

Instead, Amazon quietly refunds her. Every. Single. Time.

Here are just a few of her orders:

202-9518971-4398749

202-4264305-1225105

202-2093544-8173138

I submitted multiple cases to Seller Support, included full documentation, confirmed shipment, and BEGGED for help. Nothing. Janet got to keep the product and the money. Again.

Funny thing is, this janet doesnt even try to hide it, its the same profile, u can see 5 orders all refunded and they are ordering more and more. i cant cancel the order cz of fba. with fbm i dont get the buy box so i removed the listing completely....

Then it got worse.

Another buyer — Michelle Sadd — began doing the exact same thing. Same product. Same excuse. Same refund.

We called her number to try to sort things out… and who picked up the phone? The same voice as Janet Payne. She told us directly to stop selling this ASIN. This wasn’t just refund abuse anymore — it felt like harassment. Sabotage.

So what did I do? I refunded Michelle myself. Out of my own pocket. Because I didn’t know what else to do. I felt trapped.

And then... Amazon refunded Janet again. After everything. After all the evidence.

I asked for a refund reversal, for my ODR to be fixed, for help.

They said no.

They let her win.

They let me bleed.

And they don’t care.

I don’t know how a platform that preaches fairness and customer obsession can let abusive buyers run wild while hardworking sellers get trampled.

I’m writing this because I don’t want to be silent anymore. If this has happened to you — speak up.

If you know someone at Amazon who cares — show them this.

Because sellers like me are drowning in silence, and nobody is listening.

I have been successfully selling our products via Remote Fulfillment from the UK FBA to the Germany marketplace. However, around mid-March, the listings in Germany suddenly became unavailable, even though we have sufficient inventory in our UK FBA warehouse.

I have already opened three support cases regarding this matter, but it has now been over a month without any resolution. The issue remains unresolved, and we are unable to sell our products in Germany, despite the listings being active and inventory being available in the source marketplace (UK).

This issue is severely impacting our business, resulting in lost sales and profits on a daily basis.

Brand Approval Request for LEGO declined
by Seller_eFcgdjbBljfDu

I am attempting to get approval for Lego. Being new to this I initially provieded the wrong documentation. I believe I now have the correct documents however i am stuggling to get past this stage

We closed this case because you have submitted applications multiple times without providing new, updated, or required information. To appeal this decision, reply to this message and provide new documents for us to review. Do not submit a new application

There is nowhere to reply to the message to update the information required.

I am going around in circles

Account deactivated
by Seller_0yYhq3ZRg4O6b

We haven't sold any items using this account for the last 3–4 years and it was on the basic plan. We have a different account selling entirely different products. However, two days ago, I received an email from Amazon saying our current active account will be deactivated, apparently because this old account was deactivated due to missing credit card information.

I’ve now submitted the required documents. Does anyone know how long the approval process typically takes to reinstate a deactivated account?

HI! We are trying to sell Lancome products as we see tens of sellers doing so. I applied to sell Lancome products with an Invoice from an european distributor, highly reputable, extremely easy to verify ( distributor, not the likes of Qogita ).

Of course, support rejected with the following : "We have reviewed the documentation that you provided and determined that you are not eligible to sell Lancôme products. We evaluated the information that you provided, but it did not pass our review.".

We have good metrics, hundreds of thousands of pounds in sales in the past year, good reviews, low return rate. I do not know how to win with these guys.
