Amazon replied

Hi,

Does anyone know if we are required to obtain a Liability Insurance when we are not the producer of the products that we are selling?

We are doing wholesale in EU and UK marketplace.

Thanks

I received a negative feedback on a football cake topper, with the customer claiming I sent the wrong colour. However, the customer selected red when placing the order, and I’ve confirmed that we did indeed send a red topper as requested.

The topper includes a team name, and the customer had entered "Derby County." They are now saying the topper should have been black, as that is the team’s official colour. However, there was no mention of this in the order notes—only the team name and a red colour selection.

I feel this isn’t my fault, as I strictly followed the customer’s instructions. Do you have any suggestions on how best to handle this or what action I should take regarding the feedback?

I'm genuinely struggling to understand why Amazon continues to send buyers messages stating, "We're sorry, but your package is late," even when we dispatch on time and upload valid tracking information.

In a recent case, we shipped promptly, provided accurate tracking, and yet Amazon still notified the buyer that their order was delayed. This not only causes unnecessary concern for the customer but also damages our reputation through no fault of our own.

To make matters worse, we’ve already lost an A-to-Z claim where the automated system failed to correctly recognise the tracking details. Our Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) is 100%, yet these issues persist.

Why are sellers being penalised due to delays or scan issues on the carrier’s end—something completely out of our control? We’re doing everything right, but the system seems to be working against us, and it’s both demoralising and damaging.

Would appreciate any insight or shared experiences from other sellers dealing with the same.

Lost inventory
by Seller_D1Hx2jN2uH4nq
Amazon replied

So I tried to create a shipment for 500 units but it would only let me create one for 504 units. I proceeded with this as I thought I could explain that the reason that 4 were missing was due to only ordering 500 units.

After selling out, Amazon raise a discrepancy with the amount of units received. They have only received 483 meaning 21 are missing according to the system. However as i only bought 500 units there is infact 17 missing. I raised a case through seller support but all they kept saying is that I must procuce an invoice for the 504 units that shows on my shipment plan. I said that I can't produce this invoice because I only bought 500 units. We kept going round in circles but basically I have to accept that 17 units have been lost and Amazon won't investigate further because they want an invoice for 504 units which doesn't exist!! Is there anything else I can do?

Hi all,

We’re looking for advice from other sellers or any guidance from Amazon regarding “Shipped Late” metrics on Seller Fulfilled Prime orders. In these cases, we dispatched on time using Amazon Buy Shipping, but the orders were still marked as late — seemingly due to courier delays or scanning issues outside our control.

Recent examples:

Order 1

Promised dispatch date/time: 13/06/2025 23:59

Actual dispatch (Buy Shipping): 13/06/2025 15:24

Courier first scan: 15/06/2025 01:39 (DPD UK)

Promised delivery: 14/06/2025

Actual delivery: 15/06/2025

→ Dispatched same day via Buy Shipping, yet flagged as “Shipped Late”

Still flagged as “Shipped Late” due to courier scan delay/delivery timing

Order 2

Promised dispatch date/time: 09/06/2025 23:59

Actual dispatch (Buy Shipping): 09/06/2025 14:00

Courier first scan: 09/06/2025 16:45 (DPD UK)

Promised delivery: 10/06/2025

Actual delivery: 11/06/2025

→ Dispatched well before the cut-off, but marked as late based on delivery date

Marked as “Shipped Late” – but the only anomaly appears to be the actual delivery date, which is outside our control

In both cases:

  • We used Amazon Buy Shipping
  • Orders were dispatched on time
  • Delays seem to be due to courier scanning or delivery performance
  • Yet the system still flagged us as late, which affects our Prime metrics.

Questions:

  1. Is there any way to challenge these flags when there is clear evidence of on-time dispatch using Buy Shipping?
  2. Is there any option to introduce a buffer or flexibility in delivery times for Seller Fulfilled Prime, especially when delays are caused by the courier?
  3. Would using Amazon’s own delivery service prevent these issues, or would the same penalties apply if delivery is delayed?
  4. Would using Amazon delivery service be of any help, or would the same rule apply - even if courier takes longer to deliver - we are being penalised

We take our Prime metrics seriously and always dispatch on time. Any advice or suggestions from others in the community would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

1 Star Rating but no comments or reviews
by Seller_NL1sEXfrVqdYT

Good morning. I began using FBA a few months ago, and the early signs have been promising. I’ve noticed that reviews aren’t easy to come by, but I was happy with the three 5-star ratings on one of my products. However, the rating has now dropped to 3.7 due to a 1-star review with no comments.

Is this a verified rating? Nothing is showing in my account that I can see. If anyone could advise on where to see this in my account or how to go about getting this removed. I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance

I can't delete my account
by Seller_Jf8oZsGeKRNjt
Amazon replied

I have never sold anything. The only reason I opened account was for research purposes and I got fee refunded. I have forgotten about it all and now opening my old email box to see lots of messages from Amazon about updating my charge method (which I did to see if it helps but NOPE) Now 30 GBP is stuck on my account or "held hostage" as Account Level Reserve. I can't close the account, I can't get my fee back, I can't release the reserve. suggestions?

Account Level Reserve but no notification
by Seller_fj3M54GkuGQyT
Amazon replied

I have been a seller on Amazon since 2013, always kept my account in good standing and all of a sudden my funds (over £4,000 currently) are being held in an ‘Account Level Reserve’.

I’ve received zero communication or performance notifications from Amazon to suggest there’s any issue with my account and when I noticed the reserve, I contacted seller support who gave me a copy and paste reply saying that the reserve is a ‘normal part of selling on Amazon and it will reset at my next disbursement scheduled’. Well, surprise surprise it didn’t and my funds didn’t disburse yesterday as they should have done.

I am not on DD+7 because that was postponed until 30th Sept 2025 so I would really like to know what is going on and seller support are useless as usual.

@Seller_hnDMgUKxMh1V4@Seller_DNQGSsdC7DccM@Seller_TSXM2A5nxWSuH @Seller_sSkzzHms7Kxs6 @Seller_mIRnuhdx7l5sN@Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP are you able to look at my account to see what the issue might be PLEASE?

My Amazon seller account was deactivated in April
by Seller_yVDtZPMtyksLV
Amazon replied

Hello,

My Amazon seller account was deactivated in April. "Know Your Customer (KYC) seller verification information".When I click the red "Activate Account" button, I am redirected to the "Business Information" page. The orange banner displays the message: "Please wait while we review your request.

We are reviewing your account to confirm if there are any additional verification requirements. The page will automatically refresh in 30 secs.". I contacted seller support but received an automated response: "This email address is not the correct channel to appeal". The last message from Amazon before my account was deactivated was that they could not provide a reason for the deactivation or a timeline for reactivation. I feel stuck in a vicious circle with no clear path to resolve this issue. There does not seem to be an available channel to appeal or get help.

In the beginning, they simply disabled my listings. On my end, I see "active" but on the buyer's end, it says "Currently unavailable."During the deactivation period up until today I created a bunch of cases. Which were all ineffective.

At first I thought it was a system error, and began creating cases to solve the problem directly with the listings that were disconnected. Cases 10966439962, 10967023632.

Then cases directly on the account problem in order 10983484642, 10991781862, 11009133112, 11035175972, 11039814102, 11039569692, 11039523332, 11040716792, 11042390092, 11065538952, 11065589502, 11069306132.

Then cases without answers, they completely ignored me. 11085776522, 11127815152, 11128398702, 11127879322, 11128399722, 11127801482, 11131214772.

I understand that checks are done regularly, but it's been three months, their second to last message was:

"Hello, We are currently reviewing the information that you gave. We will contact you as soon as we have completed this review or if we need any further information.

We cannot give you an exact deadline, but our team is working hard to complete the verification as soon as possible."

The last one is: Dear Seller,

Good news. Your Selling on Amazon payment account has been activated. We will get in touch with you if we need more information.For any assistance relating to Selling on Amazon or other Amazon services, you can search our help pages or contact Seller Support/Selling Partner Support.

After this message, "Identity Information" appeared in red, after which I submitted additional documents.

Is this going to take months again?

My inventory is stuck.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem or can suggest how to proceed? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Amazing indifference to sellers. It seemed that there was nothing easier than to name the reason and how to fix it. The world is losing its humanity in the pursuit of money.

Thank you,
