Dear @Seller_mIRnuhdx7l5sN@Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP,

I trust this Message finds you well.

I am reaching out to address a critical issue affecting our business on Amazon. Over the past 2 weeks, we have experienced a drastic decline in sales, plummeting by 90%. Despite maintaining competitive pricing and boasting excellent seller ratings and account health, our buy box win rate has plummeted to 0% and on the seller app, the featured offer eligibility appears to be "NO" as shown in the screenshot attached.

This alarming situation is significantly impacting our business operations, and we are deeply concerned about the implications for our future success on the platform. As a full-time business reliant on Amazon, such challenges can be demoralizing and threaten our ability to sustain operations.

We urgently request your assistance in resolving this matter as soon as possible. Any insights or actions you can provide to rectify this issue would be immensely appreciated.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Customer returned an unwanted/no longer required order to us.

the returned item was the (delicate) retail packaged item with a T48 shipping label stuck on it,

no outer shipping carton or protective packaging.

and it obviously arrived back to us damaged/squashed/unfit for resale

the customer said they were told that the store staff would package and label the return for them

and has sent us the supporting information from the amazon shopping app.

which at the top does say that - but then has conflicting information below.

can someone get this urgently fixed - it would explain why we and other sellers have an increased in unpackaged returns.

Customer was not refunded on first scan - so we cant make a safe-t claim unless amazon issue the refund.

if we send the refund then we cannot claim.

@Seller_DNQGSsdC7DccM @Seller_TSXM2A5nxWSuH @Seller_mIRnuhdx7l5sN

can someone take a look at this for us.

(I have opened a seller support case on case id 9927201012 which has the customer's order number in it)

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.

@Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP Thank you very much for your help. I found the notifications. I have done the video call, sorted the Mexico/US account and managed to get my UK account unlocked. To save me starting a new post, I was wondering if you would be able to assist with my next problem.

My UK account is now at risk of deactivation because I lost an A-Z appeal. I don't sell in large volumes, so only 1 problem has taken me over the 1% target. My buyer didn't receive their order, but I received no communication (until the A-z email). The courier lost my parcel, which I believe is an issue out of my control so I appealed, but the appeal failed because Amazon believe that the Yodel tracking number is invalid, but it is the correct tracking number. I have 100% valid tracking rate (plus the tracking number works on the Yodel website). Are you able to help me to re-appeal? Thank you.

I am following the use case guide for SP feeds.

I am able to create a document and upload XML to it without problems.

However I am unable to use the createFeed (POST /feeds/2021-06-30/feeds) endpoint. I am sending what should be a valid body, and I have proper header, but I am still getting 403. Any help what am I doing wrong or which permissions am I missing?

curl --location 'https://sellingpartnerapi-eu.amazon.com/feeds/2021-06-30/feeds' \

--header 'x-amz-access-token: (token which worked to create document)' \

--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \

--data '{

"feedType": "POST_ORDER_ACKNOWLEDGEMENT_DATA",

"marketplaceIds": [ "A1PA6795UKMFR9" ],

"inputFeedDocumentId": "{feed I got from createDocument}"

}'

And the error message I get is not super helpful:

{

code: 'Unauthorized',

message: 'Access to the resource is forbidden',

details: ''

}

I am trying to understand the following issue, where a secondary marketplace does not generate any listings statuses or issues when price is updated.

The Issue:

I created a standalone listing in the UK marketplace. to get the listings status I sent a get request`GET /listings/2021-08-01/items/{sellerId}/{sku}` which worked fine and returned the listing status. Please check listings api.

Similarly, when I created another standalone listing in another marketplace, France, `GET /listings/2021-08-01/items/{sellerId}/{sku}` worked fine and returned the listing status.

Now

Let's say you want to create a listing in the UK and don’t want to create the same one in France. Amazon provides an option where you can edit the listing to add an additional marketplace (e.g., France).

To do that:

Hit the edit button on the listing created in the UK.

A new screen shows up, allowing you to add a new marketplace (France).

Once added, the same listing previously created in the UK will show up in France marketplace.

After this, if you go to UK marketplace and you update the price or the listing, sending a get request `GET /listings/2021-08-01/items/{sellerId}/{sku}` will return a response indicating that a listing has been updated in the UK marketplace and nothing for France. However, if you update the price of same listing for France marketplace (which is the only value you can update; you can’t update the title or any other attribute), you receive nothing for both marketplaces.

Please check the following screenshot (for UK)

Please check the following screenshot (France)

Hello,

I'm using SP-API to make integrations with our service platform. So far I've used the static sandbox request responses to develop the main business logic/flow. I want to test the implementation in an actual case.

I want to add a product, then add an order from Amazon end. Then I want to get those orders using SP-API onto our platform. How can I test it by actually adding a product through Seller Central and then adding a test order the same way? Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

on a pc you can set these settings directly on the printer driver itself (control panel / printers & devices / printers / printername),

but then if you go into the printer properties via the print dialogue box on a single application and change it there - it is only changed for that one app and not globally.

I think the Mac has similar settings but I dont know where you will find them.

what applications are you printing from - directly from the browser or from adobe acrobat (in the case of multipaged labels)

Apart from the initial letter containing your UTR when you registered as a sole trader with HMRC I dont think you can get another more recent letter.

Are you sure its the date on the UTR letter Amazon are complaining about? You will also need to provide proof of address and these details need to be on letters dated within last 3 months usually. Or perhaps Amazon need see proof of your last tax return.

HMRC website:

Find your UTR number

You get a Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) when you:

register for Self Assessment

set up a limited company

It’s a 10-digit number. It might just be called ‘tax reference’.

You’ll get your UTR by post 15 days after you register. It takes longer if you live overseas.

You can usually see your UTR sooner in your Personal Tax Account or the HMRC app.

as before, the only way to reduce that ODR is to get the A-Zs removed, which it sounds like you have tried - or you sell more.

THe ODR is a percentage based on all orders within a 60 day window that constantly moves. As of today (25/06/24) it covers the period 12 Apr 2024 - 10 Jun 2024.

So it's looking at any orders placed in that window. If you get more orders, as those orders enter the window, the ODR will drop - depending on when the defect orders with A-Zs were placed, eventually, they will leave the ODR window and the percentage should drop. But, depending on when your unaffected orders were placed, if they leave the ODR window, and the affected orders havent yet - then the ODR percentage may go up, before it goes down.

Its posible amazon won't do anything provided you continue to sell without more defects - but can't 100% guarantee that of course.
