Hello,

I find it extremely concerning that if as a seller, I'm not meeting the target rate of below 5% for uploading an invoice within 24 hours of a customer payment, I am at risk of deactivation.

If this is such a sensitive metric that can lead to de-activation of an account, why isn't there a notification alert from Amazon requesting sellers to upload the invoice within 24 hours of the payment being made with the order I.D for said invoice each time? We get an email alert to respond to buyers messages within 24 hours of the buyer message for instance.

As sellers, we have a host of duties to perform. Do they expect us to check the orders page every few hours to ensure this mundane task is promptly met within a very narrow timeframe each time? This is extremely unreasonable in my humble opinion. I would like to adhere to this, however, life gets in the way, and without notification prompts, this is very difficult to adhere to ALL OF THE TIME.

Is there a way to receive an alert from Amazon each time an order is placed requiring an invoice to be uploaded?

I have auto invoices set up for all the countries where I have VAT registration, but occasionally, you get orders from other EU countries that do not have VAT registration, thus making this task difficult to adhere to without fail.

Hello Sellers,

Having a healthy seller account is crucial for your success on the Amazon marketplace. The Account Health Dashboard provides an overview of your selling account's adherence to Amazon's performance targets and policies. Regularly monitoring and addressing any issues is essential to ensure uninterrupted selling privileges.

What is the Account Health Dashboard?

The Account Health Dashboard displays key metrics that Amazon uses to evaluate your account's performance, such as:

-Order Defect Rate: Measures customer experience with your orders

-Late Shipment Rate: Tracks your on-time shipment performance

-Policy Violations: Highlights any violations of Amazon's selling policies

How to Access Your Account Health Dashboard:

Menu- > Account Health- > Account Health

🟢Best Practices for Maintaining a Healthy Account:

• Understand each metric and its target: Review Amazon's guidelines for acceptable performance levels.

• Check your Account Health regularly across all marketplaces: Performance metrics can vary by marketplace.

• Monitor Performance Notifications: Address any issues promptly to avoid negative impact on your account.

• Take preventative steps: Implement processes to maintain high performance (e.g., streamline fulfillment, improve customer service).

• Review your product catalog: Ensure compliance with evolving regulations and policies.

• Address violations immediately: Respond to any violations on your Account Health Dashboard as soon as possible.

Hello everyone!

We have an important topic for you today: keywords.

The right keywords not only help increase your visibility but also improve relevance for potential customers.

We therefore have a few tips for you to find your perfect keyword mix.

Use Amazon-specific keywords: The tactics you use for Google don't necessarily work for Amazon, as the target group behaves differently on both platforms. Therefore, focus on your Amazon target group to optimize your keywords. For example, you can use the Amazon search bar to get ideas.

Use only relevant keywords: Select keywords that really match the product listing. Avoid irrelevant or subjective keywords, even if they have a high search query. Instead, focus on search terms that meet the exact demand and needs of your target customers to increase your relevance.

Integrate keywords strategically: You don't have to integrate the keywords multiple times. The most important keywords should already appear in the title, and you can also include other keywords in the product description.

Use backend keywords: Additional keywords that customers don't see can be placed in the backend. Be careful not to exceed the maximum number of 250 bytes. To make optimal use of the number of bytes, you can do without punctuation marks and filler words.

Monitor the keyword-performance: Check the performance of your keywords regularly and exchange them for new ones if they don't deliver good results.

I'm sure many of you have other strategies from your practical experience! Do you utilize any specialized tools (Amazon)-Tools to identify the most effective keywords?

Your insights are needed now! We look forward to your contributions and experiences on the topic!

@Seller_CTfqgyINkSmIw,

If, in the past, you had a connection active, it means that the offer was already created in the target marketplace.

If you exclude the specific ASIN in the target marketplace, it means that it will not be updated in case you make any updates in the source marketplace.

However, this ASIN still exists in your inventory of the target marketplace, as you had a connection active in the past. In this case, you need to delete the ASIN from the target inventory.

I would recommend you review this help page: How to exclude and permanently delete international offers.

Let us know if you managed to remove your inventory from other marketplaces.

Regards,

Sakura

I reported a seller for very obvious variation violations recently and got the exact same response

Their AI is useless, im not even sure it checks the the ASIN's, maybe the AI has learnt to skimp their duties as they have to deal with ridiculous targets aswell!

I am listing a product in generic with no product id so when I try submitting my listing a message comes up ‘gtin exemption required, apply now’. I click on that and it takes me to another page which is blank, hence I cannot apply. When I check selling applications, it shows gtin exemption and says its approved. Makes no sense to me, as that message to apply for gtin exemption is there no matter what. I am so stuck.
