Great news! The deal sourcing window for back-to-school promotions is still open. This is your chance to submit compelling offers and increase visibility during this crucial shopping period. Don't miss out on this opportunity to attract budget-conscious shoppers!

📈 Check trending products and keywords

Remember to leverage your seller dashboard tools to stay ahead of the curve:

  • Use the "Trending Products" feature on Amazon to identify hot items in your category
  • Explore new keyword trends to optimize your listings with popular search terms
  • These insights can help you make informed decisions about inventory and marketing

Need Escalation: EUR 47,763.50 in FBA Overcharges – 29 Days No Response
by Seller_JfhYzdtNj8OSg
Amazon replied

EUR 47,763.50 in FBA overcharges – 28 days no response after docs provided. Unnecessary disposal & LTSF fees are being applied, August charges coming.

Hello,

We have an open FBA storage fee overcharge case (case ID 11295035662 available for moderators) which was opened on 7 July 2025.

All requested documents were provided, and there has now been 28 days with no further response.

The original claim totalled EUR 45,324.03. July additions (EUR 2,298.20 unnecessary disposal fees and EUR 141.27 aged inventory surcharges) bring the new total to EUR 47,763.50. These LTSF charges are being applied despite the inventory still not having reached the 365-day threshold. August fees will be billed soon, further increasing the total.

This is causing ongoing financial harm and operational disruption. EUR fees are being withdrawn from our GBP account, creating additional FX bank charges, and viable inventory has been disposed of unnecessarily.

Could a moderator or Amazon associate please advise on escalation for a case of this scale and urgency?

Thank you.

Huge increase in GS1 annual subscription
by Seller_ymppUpGNpZ7Y8

I've been using GS1 GTIN/EANs for about 10 years, everything I sell is my own design. I've always paid £119 + vat annual subscription, and they've always given me extra blocks of numbers at no extra cost. Most of the numbers they have allocated me are no longer associated with active products (eg, 2018 diaries) but my active products are scattered across several number blocks. GS1 have come up with a new subscription calculation. My renewal is £450 + vat, approx 3.7 times last year. Given my modest sales on AMZ, and the fact it seems impossible to list anything new nowadays, I'm done with them. Always thought AMZ would see me off, turns out GS1 caught me in the long grass.

Anyone else been caught in this GS1 increase?

Negative Feedback: What's Your Action Plan?
by Seller_gAhPNiLrkfTcr
Amazon replied

Hello Sellers,

Let's talk about negative feedback. Negative feedback is a reality of selling on Amazon. We're opening this discussion to understand your approaches to managing it effectively.

💭 Share your experiences:

  • What steps do you take when receiving negative feedback?
  • Have you successfully had negative feedback revised to positive?
  • What communication methods have worked best with dissatisfied buyers?

🌟 Here's an interesting example from our selling community:

A seller recently shared how they immediately contacted a buyer about their return request. Despite leaving an initial negative feedback, the customer was so impressed with the seller's response that they later added positive feedback specifically praising the customer service received.

What's your experience? What strategies have worked for you?

ℹ️ Please also check"Resolve or respond to customer feedback"for additional information.

Looking forward to your insights.

Lost Over £2,000 Due to FBA Measurement Error and Policy Limitation – Any Advice?
by Seller_A4ONdeSj9BY4y

In May 2025, I sent a new product to FBA. The actual size/weight is 18cm × 10cm × 5cm, 320g, but Amazon incorrectly measured it as 192cm × 160cm × 128cm, 96,000g.

Because of this, my FBA fulfillment fee was over £50 per unit.

I immediately requested a re-measure, but Amazon repeatedly rejected my requests, saying there was “no inventory available to measure at the fulfillment center.” This continued for almost a month until June 5th, when the dimensions were finally corrected. During that time, the product was actively selling.

Later, I requested reimbursement for the overcharged fees. I thought the issue was resolved—until early July, when I discovered this SKU had been charged over £2,000 in storage fees based on the wrong dimensions from May.

I opened a Case for reimbursement and initially everything seemed fine, but Amazon later refused, citing their policy:

Storage fee reimbursement can only be based on the most recent two re-measurement records within the past 90 days (in my case, June 11 and June 17).

Since the June storage fee wasn’t charged yet, and May 7th is outside the “two most recent measurements” range, they refused to pay.

The problem is—I had requested multiple re-measures in May, but they were all rejected due to “no inventory to measure.” Now they say they can’t compensate me because there are no valid May re-measurement records.

Anyone who has dealt with Amazon knows—once they decide something, it’s almost impossible to overturn. Every time I contacted support afterward, they insisted the charges were correct and ignored the fact that measurement in May was impossible.

As a result, I’ve lost over £2,000 (~20,000 RMB) for something completely out of my control.

Amazon's pre-order trick to block others from selling
by Seller_M0KDZMmrenoyq

It might not be noticeable in other categories, but in the music category, Amazon creates a distinct advantage for itself by not allowing any other seller to sell until the date set as the release date. Even if you receive the items and send them to Amazon warehouses, they remain stranded until that date. I’m used to this practice, although I believe it goes against competition laws. Today, my items have been stranded again — but this time not for a new listing, rather for a title that has been selling for a very long time. All other sellers have been blocked, and my items were stranded because Amazon put the listing on pre-order, claiming that the release date is one and a half months later.

How could it be fair and legal?
