Current Forum Moderators
by Seller_ZVAz3d5lZuGid

@Seller_DNQGSsdC7DccM @Seller_mIRnuhdx7l5sN @Seller_TSXM2A5nxWSuH I have seen a few new names appear on the forum,presumably new moderators ? eg. @Danny_Amazon. BUT as yet it does not seem possible to correctly tag him. I have also noticed a few other new names. It would be helpful for us to have an up-to-date list of current forum moderators, as it also seems that there may be some who are no longer active ? A while ago there was a thread with the names of the forum mods.

Also, the list of categories below does not include a relevant category for 'forum' issues. That would be useful as none of the other categories are relevant to select. Thanks.

Hi all,

I have submitted a safe-t claim with amazon, as a customer has sent an item back and has kept some of the items.

We send the customer a message with a serial number, however amazon create our invoices automatically, so we are unable to add a serial number to the invoice.

I don't want to then duplicate the invoice our end and alter it by adding a serial number.

Can anyone advise.

-- A photograph of the damage or difference with the original item. Images of packaging will not suffice.

-- An invoice document from the sale to the customer that lists the serial ID or IMEI number of the item that was sold.

Royal Mail leaving parcels outside
by Seller_Cly3S2XbxgEnG

Anyone else having issues with Royal Mail leaving parcels outside lately?

I don't recall it having these issues before with RM, only with couriers like Evri. Is this something they started to do? We've had a spike in these kinds of issues.

Surprisingly, some have been left outside the doors of community apartments. I really don't know how any sensible person thinks its safe to do this, you wouldn't leave your own property out in a hallway never mind outside where anyone can take the parcel.

DO NOT HAVE BUY BOX from launch
by Seller_AoyVyQqxOTJjE

@Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP

I have newly launched my products on Amazon. I am the only seller of the products but I still do not have the BUY BOX. I cannot ran ads and it feels like Amazon has set me up to fail as no one sees my products and hence cannot sell as its a new product.

I had the BUY BOX day one of launch on the Amazon US market and it is doing is doing very well.

Can you please look into this for me as I feel, there is no support especially as I am the only seller of the product.

This the parent ASIN: B0F6KWNLCK

Understanding Amazon's Selling Restrictions
by Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP

Hello sellers,

We have been seeing a lot of threads where sellers are reporting increased cases of initial selling authorization denials and existing authorization revocations. Let´s dive into this:

Selling on Amazon comes with great opportunities, but also important responsibilities. One key aspect you need to understand is Amazon's product selling restrictions. Let's break down what these restrictions mean for your business and how to navigate them successfully.

What Are Amazon's Selling Restrictions?

Amazon implements selling restrictions to protect customers and maintain trust in the marketplace. These restrictions ensure that products sold are:

  • Safe for customers
  • Authentic and genuine
  • Compliant with local regulations
  • Meeting Amazon's quality standards

Types of Restrictions

Restrictions can apply at multiple levels:

  • Individual ASINs
  • Specific brands
  • Entire categories
  • Sub-categories
  • Brands within certain categories

Note: Some products may have multiple layers of restrictions, requiring separate approvals for each level.

How to Check if You Need Approval

  1. Log into Seller Central
  2. Go to "Add a Product"
  3. Click "Show limitations"
  4. Review any restrictions or requirements listed

The Approval Process

If you discover you need approval to sell a product:

  1. Submit an application through Seller Central
  2. Provide required documentation, which may include:
  • Purchase invoices from manufacturers or authorized distributors
  • Product photos
  • Compliance certificates
  • Safety documentation
  • Other category-specific requirements

Important: Not all restricted products accept applications. If you see "Your account does not qualify" or there's no "Apply to sell" option, that restriction cannot be lifted at this time.

Managing Ongoing Restrictions

Keep in mind that:

  • Restrictions can change over time
  • Previously approved products may become restricted
  • New documentation may be required periodically
  • Performance issues can affect your ability to sell restricted products

What If Your Application Is Declined?

If your application is declined, you can:

  1. Review the rejection reason carefully
  2. Gather new or additional documentation
  3. Submit a new application when ready
  4. Monitor for any changes in restrictions

Pro Tip: Keep detailed records of all your approval documentation, as you may need to reference them later.

Best Practices for Success

  1. Research restrictions before sourcing products
  2. Maintain high-quality documentation
  3. Stay informed about category requirements
  4. Monitor your account health regularly
  5. Keep records of all approvals and documentation

Remember: Amazon Selling Partner Support cannot provide additional information about certain restriction decisions. The best approach is to monitor the categories you're interested in and watch for changes in restrictions over time.

Invalid Charge Method
by Seller_bhcL3HHl7d7Kl
Amazon replied

I have an issue with this, I had a notification that 20p had been taken for amazon.ae but we have never sold on there and only sell on the UK.

The card is active and all verified, multiple withdrawals have been taken from the card that is active but the error is still there as below but the card has been charged multiple times

We are not able to charge your account. Assign a valid charge method to restore full access to your seller account.

I also have this error

There was a problem loading the content. Please try again later.

Anyone got an idea what and why this is happening and how to resolve

Hello,

I am using Merchant Fulfilled shipping and Buy Shipping through Amazon UK.

Currently, my shipping labels are downloading in ZPL format, which is not supported by my printer.

I would like to download shipping labels in PDF format (A4 or 4x6) for regular printing, which i usually does. But yesterday it changes and downloading format is ZPL

However, the Buy Shipping Preferences page does not show any option to change the Label Format.

Please guide me to access the setting so I can change it from ZPL to PDF.

Thank you,

FPG4U

i heard that Amazon has recently introduced a newer bulk upload system where:

You can upload a .json file instead of the traditional .xlsx or .txt.

The system recognizes it as a products spreadsheet, even if it's a JSON structure.

The processing report you got back is itself in JSON format, not the old .txt error report.

How do i enroll this program?

Dear Amazon,

Today, I suddenly received a deduction of -29.36€ from Amazon. However, my Amazon seller account was closed several months ago, and there have been no previous charges since the closure.

Could you please clarify why this charge occurred?

Looking forward to your explanation.

Best regards
