given some of these following responses from seller support

"

I understand you are reporting incorrect return instructions appearing in Amazon shopping app.

Please note that Selling Partner Support doesn't handle inquiries about the Amazon Shopping App.

The Amazon shopping app is an app for customers to buy products on Amazon. The Seller App allows for sellers to list their items on the Amazon Shopping App.

Any concerns about how a product listing looks on the Shopping app or how to buy products, needs to be referred to the Customer Service team :

"I understand you are reporting incorrect return instructions appearing in Amazon shopping app.

We can assist with errors in the PC platform; we are unable to investigation any anomaly in the application since this is not app support.

"

Otherwise told to contact the carrier with regard to damaged items. - But it wouldnt be damaged if Amazon hadnt given the customer incorrect return instructions.

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.

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,

Thank you for contacting us with your grievance regarding the Amazon Payments Europe (APE) service. Amazon Payments Europe takes complaints seriously.

Amazon Payments Europe has looked into the matter and we would like to inform you that based on a review of your account and the information provided, we have concluded that we cannot verify the Value-Added Tax (VAT) establishment of the business in your selling account.

As a result, you can no longer sell on Amazon.co.uk or any European stores. You should continue to ship open orders and respond to customer inquiries to avoid further impact to your account.

We leveraged a combination of automated means and expert human review to identify this issue and make this decision.

Why did this happen?

The document that you provided is not acceptable for verification.

Under Account Health:

We completed our evaluation of your submission. We do not have enough information to remove the violation at this time.

So, is something wrong with the documents or what is happening?

difficult to guess what is going or what Amazon wants ( if they know)

Amazon won't remove the feedback (I agree it should be possible to do all this on the mobile app). But amazon are unlikely to see things like this as a priority to fix, as the number of users it impacts is in the minority (and it doesn't really impact buyers - who amazon will of course care about more)

To be honest, easiest thing to do, leave a factual response. I know it won't help with the rating - but unless the customer can get to a device that allows them to remove the rating - its the best you can do.

Hi,

We have started the SFP trial but none of the listings are registering as sold even though I have followed the correct process to add them to the SFP catalogue.

I know the ASINs I have added have sold as they are some of our best sellers but the progress is not showing anywhere.

We have definitely met all the requirements like selling 90 items, meeting the delivery target and anything else required for the prime trial but again nothing is showing.

Did you have this issue?

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.

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.

Would you have any feedback regarding Account Health?

@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: ''

}
