When and How to Use Pre-orders and Back-orders
by Seller_mIRnuhdx7l5sN

Hello Sellers,

Have you ever wondered about the differences between pre-orders and back-orders? Here's what you need to know:

Pre-orders allow you to accept orders for products that haven't been released yet, enabling customers to purchase in advance of the release date. This is particularly useful when you're launching new products and want to gauge interest or secure sales before the official release.

Back-orders are for existing products that are temporarily out of stock but will be available again when restocked. This option helps you maintain sales momentum even when inventory is depleted, allowing customers to place orders whilst waiting for your restock.

You can set up these options through Seller Central:

  • For pre-orders, specify the product's release date during listing creation
  • For back-orders, set a restock date for your out-of-stock items

Both options require shipping within 30 days and are not available for Fulfilment by Amazon products or Music, Video and DVD items.

For more details, please consult the relevant help page: List a pre-ordered or back-ordered product.

Have you used pre-orders or back-orders before? Share your experience in the comments!

Cheers, Ezra

Some how a parent child relationship has been created via our products we sell on UK ,EU and USA sites. On our UK listing some of our products have been linked together ..although one of our most popular colours has been linked to our foreign inventory so is double the price. listing details and images are also missing. I have emailed via a case 10+ times and keep getting generic amazon responses totally unrelated to the issue..i.e. how to create a listing, holiday mode and the obvious steps to update a variation family. Which obviously i would easily do if i had access to the parent sku! chat and phone options have been unavailable for days saying no one is available. would just love an actual amazon human to read and help assist with my issue.

Amazon eating maximum profit
by Seller_FTeHoKoWgr9sh

Somebody tells amazon to do not eat much profit from sellers or there will be only old sellers remains, fba fees burden, ad campaign exclusive 20% of vat, and one more thing they are counting the well packed and sellable product into customer damaged after return why? I collected the returned product which they counted as customer damaged, but it was full okay at all neither issue with packing nor inner product used why they're doing this?

Brand approval to sell used books
by Seller_JuXmiUuCR8FoI

Hello

I have a problem listing a used copy of 'The Gonzo Papers Anthology' by Hunter S Thompson because I need brand approval from the publishers Picador. This seems unlikely because I have been able to list other Picador titles without such approval required. I have listed it on Ebay without any such nonsense-any thoughts please,

Thank you

I have been advised by Account Health Support to reach out through this forum to request the help of the forum admins.

I Have spoken to various mid-level agents in Seller Support Leadership and Account Health Support Leadership about an issue (Case ID 9672281942). These conversations always end with the agent(s) advising me that they are unable to deal with the issue and they are going to escalate the matter up to the UK Executive Team (UK Head Office).

The case has been going on for over a year now and I have not yet spoken to the UK Executive Team.

I am now also getting Policy Violations for contacting Seller Support and Account Health Support to pursue this matter.

The agent I spoke to earlier today (Account Health Support) advised that I should reach out to the admins on the forum as they may have better luck getting this escalated up to the UK Executive Team (UK Head Office).

Elana from Acount Health Support Leadership spoke to me 9th March, x3 phone calls over several hours that day. After making a real effort to figure it out, she admitted defeat and advised she would be escalating up to the UK Executive Team (UK Head Office). This is not the first time I have been told to expect an escalation call back from the UK Executive Team (UK Head Office). I have spoken to them in the past about other issues (so I know they exist and they have phones), but they have not called me back about this new issue (yet).

Can somebody at Amazon actually get this escalated to a very senior level where they can call me back and deal with this please.

I want to sell my EU power strips on Amazon UK for customers that travel overseas and want a good power strip to take with them.

I tried listing before but it was removed as a product violation as the product does not have a UK plug or a UK adaptor with it.

This product is not intended for use in the UK, and it cannot be used in the UK. I made this clear in the listing but it was still removed by your team.

Surely it must be possible to list products designed for traveler's to take to the EU with them?! Its obvious from the product photos that this is not for use in the UK as it has EU sockets and an EU plug on it.

Hello was previously helped by Sarah, whom I was very grateful to, as I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Sarah, if you are still active, please kindly view all messages between us and the buyer and indeed the detailed attachment we forwarded to the BOT in the A-Z department, which clearly shows delivery and reconfirmation from the carrier.

Order no: Order ID: 203-1617990-6115533

Thank you in advance for giving me some hope left in the human race.
