Considerable number of orders shipped recently using Royal Mail 1st Class Large Letter service purchased through Amazon has been found not delivered or significantly delayed upon delivery. This has started occurring ever since the latest tariff hike by Royal Mail, however Amazon is still charging the lower price (£2.30) on shipping labels purchased through Amazon and displays the same on labels. The current going rate with Royal Mail is £2.50 for 1st Class Large Letter online shipping labels. Is anyone else facing the same issue lately? Can someone please advise if this delay in delivery is caused because Amazon is charging a lower price than the actual cost owed to Royal Mail?

I have just noticed amazon is charging VAT on top of my item selling fee. is this a new charge as i am sure they was not charging this last time i checked.

This significantly reduces profit margins on my items.

I have discovered that Amazon have been charging me the incorrect closing fee for books that I have sold since January 21. I have provided proof from the Amazon site (2 separate places) of the closing fee that they should be charging - 50p and I have provided a full spreadsheet of all items I have sold where they have deducted £1 closing fee incorrectly. Although the total is only approx £400, this is a lot of money for me as I am a small private seller. I just keep getting a 'we are investigating' response and they have closed the case, I cannot deal with the team who are dealing with it. This effectively amounts to theft of my money that I am due. It is very frustrating that Amazon take so long and too long to reimburse sellers yet expect us to do things immediately.
