Hello,

I'm actually hoping someone from Amazon sees this message. We had a business that was unfortunately destroyed by the combination of covid, brexit and the cost of living crisis, and it had to be liquidated. We set up a new business that bought some of the assets from the liquidator, and where we're not doing anything nearly as big as we did previously we have started to sell on Amazon again via our new business. However, no matter how many times we ask Amazon to shut down that old account, nothing happens. We are nervous to start scaling our new business for fear of the old one being linked to our new business (which they have already done!) and if the old one is deactivated or suspended that it might cause our new one to also be suspended or deactivated for not doing some duty or another any control over it anymore), and for Amazon to then suspend or deactivate our new business due to there being a link between the two businesses.

Is there someone from Amazon who can tell me what I need to do to get that old business shut down once and for all? I've gone through the steps in the help to shut down the account. All requests are either ignored or marked as transferred, but nothing is ever actually done.

The liquidator has also written to Amazon and provided me with a digital copy of the letter, but still nothing is done and the account continues to loom over us. I am able to provide this letter, but can't post it on a public forum.

The Merchant Token is AS0ITQ3NPQKFO.

Can one of the Amazon people above help me please? Last year our new business was suspended over the most critical 3 weeks of Christmas because of the old account, and it caused us enormous financial difficulty because of it. Can't go through that again, and too nervous to scale in case we invest and then can't shift that stock due to suspensions.

Thank you,

Leanne

A customer left a 1 star negative review on the wrong item against my shop, i dont sell the item they left the feedback on

Short story with Amazon is they wont remove this feedback as it represents the buyers feelings on the item, even though they didn't buy it from me

Are there any options I can try next as this goes publicly against my store and has affected my store KPI ratings?

My little pieces of experience with this "new" DD+7 system (coming onboard with it in January as a new seller, so I did not know anything different). I did and still find it hugely frustrating however things have got a little more predictable these days.

It will overall depend on how your sales come in and what you send them by and what you say they will be sent via! We use Amazon Shipping Automation with Royal Mail 48.

What we did notice is if we shipped via 1st or 2nd Class it didn't make any difference to when we got paid, it was the shipping estimated date that was used. We have since switched to using Royal Mail 24 / 48 (alongside Tracked 24 / 48 when needed), and as long as we do this via their Amazon Buy Shipping, the payments seem to be based on the actual dates they are delivered, which is usually faster than the estimated. Therefore we've really seen things really improve in terms of the speed of payments (8-9 days vs 2+ weeks) and are usually paid daily now but there is still huge room for improvement!

Overall I think it needs a rethink fast before it makes a really negative impact on sellers, they are officially the worst payers compared to the other three marketplaces we're on, and it's rather disappointing. I would love to see some rethinking on this policy, given sellers such as ourselves refunded just 2 orders < £5 in 1,000s over the past 6 months. It doesn't make much sense to have such a blanket policy like this for small businesses, but that's our opinion anyway!

Hi,

Our DD+7 kicked in on 19th June. Since, we've had no funds available to withdraw, having previously drawn down most days.

It says we'll have a chunk available on 3rd July at the end of the settlement period.

My question is, are we stuck having to wait until the 3rd, or will cash start to become available 7 days after the orders placed on 19th June were delivered?

The majority of our sales are FBA so those 19th orders would have been delivered on the 20th/21st, therefore I'm expecting cash to become available from the 27th.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks,

Marc

we face same issue last week we requested via email provided and requested to extend to next year stating issue with cash flow .After 3 days we got email for extension till 2025 was accepted now we can get money as normal.

Send them email and tell them your situation and they will sort this for you .

I normally withdraw money once a week, I just checked and I have funds in my account, also a reserve.

Example I have 20k, deferred 8k, available 12k

However the request button says 0.00 and not 12k

In the drop down is it says now or settlement date, its set to now.

So I dont understand why I can't take the money? Glitch?

For some reason all my orders from the last 2 days have gone into deferred transactions and the reason being "Delivery date policy"

Any ideas please?

New policy - DD+7 - funds not released till then.
