How to sell a book I now own the rights to?
by Seller_DsNYOavUyntK2
Amazon replied

I am a new seller on Amazon and need help -

I recently recovered from the publisher all rights to a book my late father wrote several years ago and is still being sold on Amazon by various sellers.

However, I have been unable to get approved to sell the book on Amazon. I submitted an invoice, which was not accepted,. The publisher has assured me they have put no restrictions on the sale of this book, so they are not sure why I am having this difficulty.

So now I'm trying to figure out other options.

1) Could submitting the reversion agreement signed by the publisher returning all publishing rights to me eliminate the need for an invoice? If so, how can I submit it, since they will only accept in invoice through the online form?

2) How are other sellers able to sell this book but I, who actually owns the rights, am unable to?

3) Is there anything the previous publisher, with whom I have a good relationship, can do to confirm with Amazon that I am authorized to sell this book that they no longer publish?

I would appreciate any suggestions you may have for getting this book listed.

Thanks in advance.

Buyer returns visibly worn and unsellable shoes
by Seller_zHik4531V0gA1
Amazon replied

I had several buyers who requested a return for the shoes they purchased. They sent back worn, used shoes without paying anything! Amazon automatically refunded them immediately, without waiting for the receipt and verification of the returned products.

I made a SAFE-T Claim and I was refunded 10% (4 Euros). This money is nothing compared to the real value of the damaged product.

Has anyone else experienced such things? Is there a solution?

@ Amazon: I suggest you change the customer refund policy, wait for the receipt and verification of the products by the seller and stop encouraging scammers!

Unfair A-to-z Claim Outcome
by Seller_QjYfjZwWH8D0l

@Seller_FJwyF3iu5qxUY @Seller_l3eCP9f1PtJXC

Order #112-9559305-2095444.

The buyer falsely claimed that we sent the wrong item because it was "too small." We sent the exact item shown on the product page.

When she returned the item, I did not immediately issue a refund. I wanted to preserve my right to file a SAFE-T Claim for the return shipping, as she had misrepresented the reason for the return. I knew that if I initiated the refund, I would be unable to file a SAFE-T Claim. Typically, Amazon automatically issues refunds if the seller doesn't do so within about 48 hours of the return scan.

However, Amazon didn't automatically issue a refund, and the buyer filed an A-to-z claim, once again falsely claiming that we sent the wrong item. Amazon ruled in her favor.

I appealed, explaining that the buyer falsified the return reason and that Amazon's policy in the past has been to automatically issue refunds if I didn't do so within 48 hours of the return scan.

My appeal was denied, and it cannot be reopened.

I filed a return policy abuse claim since the buyer falsely claimed we sent the wrong item, but I realize that won't help my appeal. Hopefully, it will flag a manipulative buyer.

The buyer should have been charged for the return shipping, as she falsely claimed we sent the wrong item. Additionally, I should not have been penalized for not issuing a refund, as Amazon has always done so automatically. In fact, moderators have sometimes advised sellers not to initiate a refund in cases where the seller wants to file a SAFE-T Claim. At the very least, I feel my metrics shouldn't be hit because the buyer's claim was verifiably false (photos of her return were included in the appeal).

I hope a mod can help. Thank you.

A to Z Claims
by Seller_PadLrwbWl4nUC
Amazon replied

We shipped a package using Amazon Buy Shipping. The shipping label was created with all the necessary information, including the customer's address, so we shipped the package immediately. However, the customer filed a claim with Amazon. Amazon notified us about the claim and requested details.

Upon checking the tracking information, we discovered that the carrier could not deliver the package due to an incorrect address and returned it to the Amazon Fulfillment Center. We included this information in our appeal, stating that the package had been delivered to the Amazon Fulfillment Center and had not been returned to us, the seller.

We contacted the carrier to inquire why the package was sent to the Fulfillment Center instead of back to us. They informed us that, according to their records, Amazon was listed as the sender. Thus, they followed their records, treating us as a third party not listed in their documentation.

We explained the situation to the A-to-Z Claim team, but unfortunately, they rejected our appeal. As a result, we lost a valuable item without any hearing. We then reached out to customer service to explain the entire situation, but they were not able to assist us either.

Is there any way to reopen the appeal process and have someone else review this matter? We have all the necessary proof available for verification. The product in question was expensive, and we have experienced similar situations in the past when we used our own shipping. In those cases, despite providing tracking information and proof of delivery, customer claims for non-delivery were also rejected for high-value items, allowing customers to keep the products without returning them.

In one instance, when we requested a customer to return our product, they confirmed via the Amazon Messaging Portal that they wanted us to pay for import duties and their expenses before returning it.

Is there any way to address this situation? It appears that once a claim is granted and an appeal is rejected, there is no recourse for sellers to recover valuable products while customers get to keep them for free. I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter and further advise.

AMZ Changing from Banded Shipping to Ship By Weight
by Seller_ThtgcAcA63PhE
Amazon replied

As other FBM sellers on the Forum have noted, we recently received notice that Amazon will be deprecating the “price band” shipping rate option effective June 30, 2025. The way we understand it, price band shipping will be discouraged if not completely eliminated. We’re hoping others in a similar situation can share how they’re handling the transition from 'price band' rates to 'per item' or 'weight' rates for each region..

Our standard products generally weigh between .5 – 1.5 pounds each, but orders from our customers can range from sales of one unit to multiple units (up to 150 pieces or more). We offer custom products which can weigh more. From the information available, it appears that Amazon’s system does not support assigning variant-specific weights under a single listing when using customization or variation options. Price banded shipping has worked accurately for us and we’re concerned that weight-based or per-item rates might be problematic.

Appreciate any guidance Amazon moderators and/or other sellers can provide.

Thanks in advance!

I am an author and sell several books (printed elsewhere) via Seller Central, with an ASIN (no ISBN, I have a GTIN exemption).

Now, I'd like to add a Kindle version of several of these. I understand that I do the Kindle version via KDP.

Is it possible to link the books so they show on the detail page? If yes, exactly how?

If no, would it make any difference if the print version had an ISBN?

I CANNOT do the print version via KDP since it is spiral bound.

To Amazon:

Order [114-9397533-7805024] was delivered by carrier [DHL Express] on [March 18, 2025], and the tracking code is [9292307732]. The estimated delivery date is [April 7th - April 16th]..According to the tracking information of the order, the package was delivered to the correct address on [March 21, 2025]. As the order was delivered before the estimated delivery date, please re-investigate the claim.

For my FBM order, the customer applied for a claim and reported that they didn't receive it. However, in fact, we have evidence to prove that the customer has already received the product, and it can also be checked on the logistics official website. But the Amazon system automatically ruled that the buyer won. We are applying for a re-examination here. I submitted a case for re-examination around May 18th (case id:17756507051), but I haven't received a reply yet. Could you handle it as soon as possible

I know this isn't something new, but just wanted to point out and maybe get some involvement from Amazon.

Within the past few days someone has changed the title from 'Spade L - Chicken Ranch - 2 Pack' to 'Teeth Whitening Powder, Teeth Whitening, Whitening Teeth Against Tooth Discolouration, Effective in Strengthening Teeth and Gums, Fresh Breath (50 g)' and changed the brand to 'NANQUAN'. And then has the brand registered.

The picture and description was not changed. With the title and brand not matching the picture and description, should be an easy fix. Just looking to find an easier way to work with customer service on this.

Here is the ASIN for product. B07FN3YF3

Brand Registry appeals keep rejecting
by Seller_xOvvpBGkr8bXt
Amazon replied

We’re looking for help or guidance regarding an issue we’ve been facing for the past six months.

Our brand was removed from Amazon Brand Registry without any specific reason. Every time we appeal, we receive the same six generic reasons, none of which apply clearly to our case. After investigating, we found that one of our related accounts had a deactivated Belgium marketplace, which we have since reactivated.

To be fully compliant, we also updated our trademark attorney and added a licensed U.S. attorney to our trademark record. We submitted a full appeal under Case ID: 17730878201, but we're still getting the same canned response, with no clear direction.

As of now:

All marketplaces are active and in good standing.

Our brand has no known violations.

Trademark records have been updated properly.

We’ve done everything we could to resolve the issue, yet our brand remains removed from Brand Registry. We are looking for advice from anyone who’s experienced something similar or insight from Amazon representatives here.

Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

@Amazon
