Stamps / Franking users must buy postage from amazon after 31st March ! WHAT?
Amazon has announced that :
Sellers who use 1st of 2nd class Standard Royal mail Stamps/Franking, MUST BUY postage from Amazon after 31st of March ( otherwise their VTR will ruin them )
Many sellers have a lot of stock of traditional postage stamps and many sellers are able to buy them on Discount. Furthermore,
Many Sellers love to use traditional stamps and many of their buyers love to receive packages with Colorful traditional stamps. And
as these stamps do not have any expiry date, I and many sellers like me, stick these colorful stamps on mailing bags in free time as hobby/entertaiment, saves us a lot of time.
Can Amazon Not feel that this is totally Unfair ???
Any other seller who is affected ??
Please share your view !!

Many are, and amazon ignored the post with nearly 2k posts and goodness knows how many cases of complaints
Sadly I don’t think we will get them to change their minds in this one

I think we all knew this would happen at some point. Personally I think they will make sending EVERYTHING tracked within the next 12 months.

also, surely an Item sent Large Letter with stamps but No tracking is better for the customer experience as the Item is just posted through their letter box if they are at work, instead of coming home and have to sort a re-delivery date out with RM ?

Just wait a year or two when you find that you wont be able to buy your groceries from Tesco or buy your gas from British Gas without some sort of penalty from Amazon

Who expects tracking on a cheap secondhand paperback? And while I’m at it, why do some 50p second hand books require permission? Counterfeit mass market paperbacks? Seriously?
Just another example of Amazon making more money (they won’t be paying RM what they charge us) and treating small sellers with utter contempt. Whichever simpleton thought this insane nonsense up has obviously never sold anything in their life.
eBay, DIscogs and Abe (yes, owned by Amazon but without the punitive charges and ludicrous rules) here I come…
I’m out.

Please please
Read what Amazon are saying it is ONLY Letters (ie up to 100gm), not large letters that you have to buy there labels.
or have I got it wrong?
