Case 11101824192 logged as goods sat in Shipped status for weeks, Amazon eventually responded to the Case to advise goods had not been received even though we uploaded the POD. Other delay tactics include asking for Sales Orders, then each first/second line support team stating goods had not been delivered.

Escalations keep going back to the team that is denying the delivery of the items. Not the first time we have seen this behaviour but the constant denials of facts approach is wearisome.

Who else has suffered this and what did you do to resolve even if it means Small Claims court type action?

Hi sellers,

*Raw product manufactures, please read*

I got an email today after years of selling that my account is going to be deactivated because "your account has been used for deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity" and I need to submit the relevant personal, business and supplier documents to avoid this deactivation.

I called account health straight away and we found out this wasn't for my main UK store... it was for a United States store, which has zero listings, has never taken payment and we have never sold through, as relieved as I was I'm still going to do the "verification call". (They only knew this because the email came from a .com email not .co.uk so if you get this, pay attention as that was literally the only way they knew on the call)

I want to go in prepared with knowledge from other sellers and one of the documents needed, and that I'm expected to produce on the call is supplier invoices. My issue is I have no single supplier, I manufacture my goods from scratch with raw materials from several different suppliers. Glass bottles, perfume oil, labels etc as we make fragrances and then brand the product with our own logo's, all brand registered and trademarked as we have been for years. I can produce all of these invoices in plentiful supply but they don't really prove anything, other than in my name and to my business address I get several things perfume related delivered, if "product authenticity" is what they want, I can't really do that because I create the finished good in house.

Have you ever had an account in another country banned? What action did you take? Should I expect the same for my UK store and lose part of my business soon? Also, does anyone else hand make their own products and were your raw materials supplier invoices sufficient to verification standards?

I really appreciate any feedback here - Thanks all

I am looking for some help please from the Mods regarding an issue Seller support cannot understand and are not helping at all.

We sell Sunglasses and eyewear and we pay extra to include a carry pouch and cleaning cloth with every set, because customers want this, it helps improve the life span of the item, allows for cleaning and prevents damage.

Around 2 years ago we changed some images to show this and the accessories as they are fundamental to the product and for the customer buying experience. We spoke with Amazon who confirmed this was completely acceptable, but there should be no swing tags or product packagaing.

Completely fair and understandable. Fast forward to now, we have put some images on and they have instantly been supressed.

It is because the system thinks that the pouch is a swing tag. I totally get that with the drawstring. Previously we were told to get the catalog team to check this and then overide it as it was not correct. So it should be really simple.

However, seller support are not helpful in this. We have gone from, oh its a swing tag, which its not and we proved, to its packaging, which its not and we proved. To your not allowed to put accessories on the image, which again according to Amazons own terms and conditions is completely wrong. To "do not show accessories or any props that ARE NOT included with the purchase., which is not relevent as THEY ARE included.

I understand no tags, and no packaging and not including props or images of things not included, as that would confuse the customer, but my images are very compliant and more than that they inform the buyer. If someone is looking for a set of glasses and two are side by side and the customer wants on with a pre ready protective pouch and cleaning cloth, then they should be able to see that item and select it.

But seller support seem to be quoting random bits of the policy which are not even relevent, its going around and around and around the case ID is 11153215832.

1, the system flagged the item as maybe having packaging or swing tags on it. We have confirmed as you can see that the product packagaing is a clear transparent bag with our logo and details on. The swing tag for the product has our details on ans ISO 12312.1 safety information. Neither of these are shown on the image, so this is not relevent

2, You have provided this link to image guidelines, as I am telling you a carry case in this case and cleaning cloth is an important product feature as it protects the product from damages and allows cleaning, customers actively search for this. Your own guidelines catagorically state this is ok.

3, For the next paragraph you quoted, it says "do not show accessories or any props that ARE NOT included with the purchase." Makes complete sense as you do not want a customer buying a set of sunglasses and expect a pouch and cloth. However, as you can clearly see every single set has this. So they are included, as such this paragraph is not relevent

4, It then says the following, as such you can clearly see that where accessories are included they should be included in the image.

"Only show one unit of the product and any accessories that are included in the purchase. For multipacks or assortments, read further guidance in the Product category section below.

Don’t show accessories or any props that aren’t included with purchase and might confuse the customer."

5, "Don’t include packaging, unless it’s an important product feature, for example, a carrying case or gift basket may be included."

It is highly relevent and important to customers to be able to see the full item they are purchasing. If you were to buy a Karcher K19 power washer and I was selling it with a snow foam and extra powerful nose attachement, you would expect to see them in the image wouldnt you ? as they are highly relevent to the product.

In the same way, if I had a Karcher and was selling it with a lovely handy travel case, you would expect to see that on the image also. Or if I was selling a mobile phone carry case, tempered glass screen protector, you would expect it to have those on the image as they are incldued.

Mnay people actively search for Reading glasses with pouch, or sunglasses with pouch and cleaning cloth and I know from previous conversations that this is absolutely fine and fully compliant, but I am getting nowehere with the current seller support so any help is greatly appreciated

Please Please Please Amazon catch up.

Order is missing, please contact buyer for refund.

How can I buy shipping from Royal Mail 2nd class large postage from ebay and 2-3 days after posting they flag the package as delivered.

Surely Amazon tech can this this far behind on protecting its sellers and Customers experience?

Please can super admins give some feedback
