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

hi

I have minimum and maximum price range for my product selling in UK. I wanted to use remote fulfillment by Amazon and activated other EU countries. And entered 29 Euros for each of them but when on Sweden i forgot their currency is Kr and similarly i put 29 there so it equals to 2 pounds i guess which is way lower than my COGS and FBA fees. So can i request something logical from Amazon now? When i changed my price below or above the min max prices it immediately deactivated my listings and sent me email. So why in this case they didn't do it and let it sell for 29 kr? I even contacted Amazon before the orders confirmed while they were in pending status. Now i ask for reimbursement from Amazon because they didn't take my minimum price into consideration.

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.

Pick up availability
by Seller_AqX6aDdqTl6Ty

On my shipping settings page -> Order Fulfillment Settings

it shows a box with Pick up availability that is ticked (see screenshot)

I don't have a shop or collection address, but I can't untick the box

I don't sell under prime, just standard shipping settings via Royal Mail

I don't want customers turning up at my home address

What is this, and how do I remove it as the box can't be un-ticked

Hello,

Amazon requested verification of my business establishment in the UK for VAT purposes. I am a non-UK resident, but my company is registered in the UK, and the company director is a UK resident.

I believe I meet the UK establishment criteria, and I have uploaded the requested documents multiple times, including:

Business registration proof (UK Companies House document)

Evidence of physical operations in the UK

ID proof of the UK resident director

Address proof of the UK resident director

Proof of the UK business bank account

Despite uploading these documents five times, I continue to receive the same rejection email:

“We reviewed your account and the information that you provided, and we have decided that you may not open a Selling on Amazon account. We leveraged a combination of automated means and expert human review to identify this issue and make this decision.”

There is no explanation of what criteria were not met, and the link provided does not clarify the issue. I also contacted an Account Health Specialist but received no helpful support.

I am requesting assistance to understand why my account is being rejected, despite submitting all the required documents and meeting the stated criteria. Could someone from Amazon Seller Support or Verification please clarify the reason for the rejection or guide me on what is still missing?

Thank you for your time and help.

Fellow sellers, let me share a fascinating case study of Amazon's inventory alchemy that would make Houdini proud.

Our recent shipment (FBA15K4K6YNF) performed a spectacular vanishing act - 12 units of our premium LED-lit makeup mirrors (retailing at €50+ in ES marketplace) disappeared into Amazon's fulfillment ether. After weeks of investigation (kudos to the team for finally confirming the loss), we received compensation worthy of a street magician's pocket change: €1.77 per unit against our €20+ cost.

But wait - the show wasn't over! Another 9 units of complementary LED mirrors (€30+ cost) materialized into €5.9 reimbursements. Our backstage passes? Fully approved invoices and cost documentation in Inventory Defect & Reimbursement.

Here's where the real magic happens:

  1. Amazon's "Estimated Value" field remained mysteriously blank - like a black hole swallowing all cost logic
  2. Seller-submitted values got Houdini'd into "denied" status post-investigation
  3. Multiple cases evaporated into the "resolution" void despite documented evidence

We applaud Amazon's consistent ability to:

✓ Lose large/heavy items (these aren't paperclips!)

✓ Maintain poker-faced compensation algorithms

✓ Create circular case resolutions worthy of M.C. Escher

To our Amazon rep readers: While we appreciate the platform that makes global selling possible, this reimbursement theater is creating plot holes in our P&L narratives. When will the "estimated value" illusion finally reveal its method?

Fellow sellers: Have you experienced this inventory prestidigitation? Let's compare notes before our next shipment gets transformed into digital confetti.

I am not VAT registered but use Amazon Buy Shipping to protect ODR and i still buy CRL48 for large letters.

As several others have experienced, I have just had a claim turned down for ODR not to impacted for an item not scanned when using this.

I have a Royal Mail Click & Drop account and use BPL large letters, which also have tracking, on my other selling platforms so that I am covered by Royal Mail if I get an item not received claim.

Can anybody give me a reason why I shouldn't stop using Amazon Buy Shipping, just use my Click & Drop account and BPL large letters and ensure tracking details from BPL have transferred across and show on order?

Sales slow today
by Seller_LV7u1trC9Mscd

Hi,

Could be me overthinking and over reacting as it is only 11:41am but today sales are on a different level of slow,

I have noticed the campaign dashboard has updated so I don't know if there is a change in visibility of products.

Not had any issues all week but today it is like we have fell off a cliff, anyone else experiencing the same?

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,
