Dear Sellers,
Please note, once you close your seller account, you can't view order history, process returns, issue refunds, respond to A-to-z Guarantee claims, or communicate with buyers.
Also, if you have an Amazon Europe Stores Account and close your seller account, your account will be shut down across all Amazon European stores. To learn more, see Amazon EU and UK stores (this page is only available to sellers with an EU account).
Follow these steps if you wish to proceed with closing your account:
You’ll receive a confirmation email once your account has been closed, or an email detailing why your account can't be closed at this time and additional steps required.
Note:
Hi, dear UK seller! 🌷
We all know the platform is constantly evolving - from listing guidelines to review policies, there are always new requirements to stay on top of, and it could be a little bit challenging sometimes.
But you know what they say, change is the only constant! 😄 And honestly, I see Amazon's policy updates as an opportunity to level up your selling game.
I'm curious to hear how you proactively manage these changes. What are your go-to strategies for:
1. Efficiently staying informed about the latest Amazon policy moves
2. Quickly adapting your listings and processes to comply
3. Leveraging seller tools and features to make policy adherence easier
4. Handling tricky policy areas like reviews, pricing, etc.
Sharing our collective wisdom is the best way to navigate Amazon's ever-changing landscape. Plus, it would help all our new sellers that have recently joined!
So let's hear it - what are your top Amazon policy management tips? I can't wait to read your insights in the comments below. 👇
Terms and Conditions:
Eligibility
The Prize Draw is open to residents of the United Kingdom excluding (a) anyone connected in a professional capacity with the Prize Draw and that person’s immediate family members, and (b) employees and contractors of Amazon and its affiliates or of the Prize Provider(s) (defined below). Entrants must be aged 18 years or older.
Entry implies acceptance of these terms and conditions, and any amendments to them, which are final and binding in all respects. Amazon reserves the right to disqualify any entrant from the Prize Draw if, in its sole judgement, the entrant has not complied with these terms and conditions, has tampered with the operation of the Prize Draw, or has engaged in any conduct that is detrimental or unfair to Amazon, the Prize Draw, or any other entrant.
Prize
There are 10 prizes to be won (each “Prize”), consisting of:
Please note:
Opening/Closing Date & Time
The Prize Draw opens to entries on Wednesday, 20 November 2024 and closes at 23.59 GMT on Monday, 9 December 2024 (the “Prize Draw Period”).
How to Enter
To enter, entrants must comment on the UK Forums post with advice they have received from another Amazon seller within the Prize Draw Period.
Amazon will only accept entries that are completed and submitted in the format designated. Incomplete entries will not be accepted. Duplicate entries are not permitted and will be disregarded. Proof of electronic submission will not be accepted as proof of receipt. All entries are deemed to be entered into the Prize Draw on the day of receipt by Amazon.
All entries, and materials submitted to Amazon in connection with the Prize Draw (collectively, “Entry Materials”), along with all associated copyright and other proprietary rights, except as reserved by relevant third parties, become the property of Amazon upon submission, and any Entry Materials will not be returned to any entrant.
Entrants agree to take any further action (including, without limitation, execution of affidavits and other documents) reasonably requested by Amazon to effect, perfect, or confirm Amazon's ownership in the Entry Materials and any associated proprietary rights.
Winner Selection
Amazon will, in its sole discretion, select the Prize winners at random. The winners will be notified via e-mail within five (5) days of the end of the Prize Draw Period (“Notification”). The winners will have 72 hours from receipt of Notification to respond to Amazon and confirm acceptance of the Prize.
If a selected winner (or any substitute winner) is ineligible, cannot be reached, or fails to claim their Prize within 72 hours of receiving the Notification, that winner (or substitute winner) will forfeit the Prize and it will be awarded to a substitute winner. If, having attempted to contact a winner and a substitute winner, Amazon is unable to award a Prize, Amazon reserves the right to consider the Prize unclaimed.
This process is final and no correspondence will be entered into. Non winners will not be notified. The name of the winners and their county of residence will be provided on receipt of a written request sent to uk-forums-sweepstakes@amazon.com within 30 days of the end of the Prize Draw Period.
By entering the Prize Draw you consent to Amazon passing your details to the Prize Provider and any relevant third party for the purpose of contacting you in the event you are a winner.
By accepting a Prize, entrants consent to the use of their name, county of residence, likeness or Prize information for promotional and other reasonable purposes without further payment, except where prohibited by law. A winner may be required to participate in Amazon's reasonable marketing and promotional activities. By entering the Prize Draw you consent to participate in such activities in the event that you are a winner.
If you are a winner and you submit any material, including but not limited to photographs, videos or testimonials, to Amazon for use or publication in connection with Amazon’s reasonable marketing and promotional activities, including but not limited to Amazon’s official social media activities, you waive any right you may have to inspect or approve the activities and you release and discharge Amazon from any claims or liability relating to Amazon’s reasonable use of your material.
Miscellaneous
Hello Sellers,
I wanted to reach out to the community to gather feedback on a particular feature that has been raised on the Forums many times in the past. For example, in the following threads:
Buy Shipping and More Amazon A-Z ODR's affected
Yet more A-Z ODR affected orders, despite using Buy Shipping.
Over the past few months, there have been reports of sellers experiencing issues or challenges with the impact of Amazon Buy Shipping orders sent on time on the Order Defect Rate (ODR) metric. I'm uncertain if these problems have been resolved or if they persist.
If you are still encountering issues, I kindly request that you share your experiences and provide examples of order IDs.
Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time and contributions. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Julia.
