I've been stuck in a bit of a rut for a while now. I've had explosive growth on Amazon and a couple of other platforms but I'm really struggling with cashflow due to payout times. With the current system, it can sometimes take 2 weeks to get payouts to the point I actually DREAD getting sales spurts on Amazon and often just switch my store off sometimes because I won't be able to fulfil my orders. I stock most items but have to buy in a lot of stock too.

I have multiple loans through UK banks, a YouLend loan and PayPal Working Capital. I feel like I'm just working to pay off interest on loans. I need the loans to keep my business afloat.

If Amazon switched to next day payouts, my business would be thriving. But I'm constantly in overdrafts, paying off loans and have to cut off my own sales sometimes twice a week because I cannot pay suppliers quick enough.

I have a very high credit rating but I cannot get a business credit card (always rejected) and my business bank (tsb) won't give me even £100 overdraft because I'm constantly having payments returned so they see me as high risk. I've offered to show my sales and Amazon accounts to PROVE I have the money in my accounts but I just can't seem to get any external help whatsoever, other than 20% loans from high street banks.

Can anybody advise on what I can do help myself? I'm tired of constantly dipping into overdrafts,

A simple search shows her Facebook page stating she works at the competitors company.

She is an employee of UK Custom Covers Ltd.

This is in violation of policy: A negative review from a seller on a competitor's product.

Why don't Amazon ever do anything about this?

I've created a case and reported the review and they don't remove it.

I've also used the report a policy violation but they haven't done a thing about it.

It seems they have these policies to prevent this but choose not to enforce it!! Crazy
