Hi everyone,

Has anyone noticed a significantly higher ACOS today compared to yesterday? Perhaps Amazon is late in updating the data, but this isn't very common. Yesterday, my ACOS was 20%, but today it's 115%, which is abnormal. I haven't made any drastic changes to my campaigns. Any insights would be appreciated! thank you

Hi,

I received he following email from Amazon.

Beginning 24 July 2024, these products must have a Transparency 2D barcode or serial number barcode in order to be listed on Amazon.com and dispatched to Amazon customers. You are responsible for ensuring that a Transparency 2D barcode or serial number barcode is on each of these products before dispatching them directly to customers.

I sell products and ship by myself as I am not registered as FBA.

Need advise.

Thanks

Although you can earn up to £1000 in any tax year before you have to register with HMRC as a sole trader and by the sounds of it, the OP doesn't expect to make that much in a year if they only expect to sell 10-20 copies of their book.

We are running 159 campaigns for advertisement. Today we have spend approx 150 pound & got 278 clicks, but didn't getting any single order from these campaigns. this is very strange. because before today we have received approx 50+ orders for as yet.

Hi ,

Is anyone facing any ad results in data update delayed or does the data updated look abnormal if compared with the previous day? especially order conversion on 18th June 2024 ads performance results.

because normally our UK Amazon STORE PPC ads campaign will generated at least 25 order conversion and above daily but suddenly dropped to 2 order converted only on 18th June 2024 and its never happened before even i checked 1 day earlier which is 17th June ads result also had converted 35 orders .

I have check for all the campaign budget utilization , BuyBox Availability and son on but all seems normal .

Anyone know ? pls assist .Thank you

I didn't realise Amazon was going to calculate EPR in France until I received an invoice for over 600 Euros for packaging that should not be charged at any more than 20 Euros. This is because Amazon have taken it upon themselves to base my packaging on other 'similar' products, and incorrectly included a lot of plastic packaging, which I do not use.

I have been trying for over 4 months now to resolve this but get nothing but the same automated email replies from Seller 'Support'.

Does anyone know a way to resolve this? The funds were taken from my seller account and I want them refunded!

Exactly the same has happened with me

This time i tried adding a different card, im now unable to add a card for 24 hours.

I have prime orders than need dispatching today and am unable to do so due to being locked out of amazon. I have opened a support case and they have been no help at all

Now my prime orders will not go in time and we will end up losing our amazon prime badge due to no fault of our own. Not really sure where to go from here?

Has anyone found a solution to this?

The error message prevents me from accessing my seller account, which means I can't see or process any orders which means my account will be at risk of deactivation.

I have tried to add a new charge method as my old card is no longer valid.

I have tried two different cards and still get the same error message. THERE WAS A PROBLEM. PLEASE CHECK ALL DETAILS ARE CORRECT.

All card details ARE correct, name spelled correctly, number, expiry date (which expires in about 9 months, not 6 or under). amazon have my same address as a bank.

I try several times until I can't try until 24 hours due to security reasons.

I have opened several cases with Amazon and no resolution. I have been told I need to verify my old card - I can't do as the bank account no longer exists.

I have been told get a Credit card instead.

Other Amazon reps have talked me through the process to add new charge method which I have already done so many times and the same happens. Error message appears.

I have screenshotted error message and I am getting nowhere!

Has anyone found a resolution to this? Please help, so frustrated

I kid you not, item delivered at 11:32 this morning, buyer filed an AtoZ claim at 12:01, I refunded seconds later, AtoZ granted against me?!

Amazon = incompetence personified.

Even though i have explicitly stated in numerous emails and phone calls to various departments and email that, i have no intention of wanting to start re-selling on amazon, therefore the appeal process of reinstating my seller account doesn't hold. I simply would just like my funds reimbursed, the funds have been put on "reserve" regarding transaction that occurred 2 Years and 7 Months ago.

In summary, based on the guidance from Amazon's Health Account Specialist employer and confirmations from other Amazon employees, the prolonged withholding of my funds, exceeding £3,000, is unjustified. This is exacerbated by the fact that no chargeback claims, A-Z guarantee claims, or disputes have been filed by customers in the 800+ days since the funds were initially reserved. The prolonged withholding of these funds, coupled with the severe financial strain and the consequential impact on my mental health condition, makes it imperative that an immediate and favourable resolution is reached.

Given the clear guidance from Amazon's account health team, the confirmations from your employees, the extended time frame exceeding Amazon's policies and regulations, the severe financial strain caused by the withheld funds, and the consequential effects on my personal circumstances, I respectfully demand an immediate and favourable resolution to this matter.

Yet, they still assume and state i have to get my account reactivated first. i think they dont know their own policies and guidelines, even cross referenced against amazon "Funds Withholding Policy" with account health specialist who concluded i don't fall under this bracket too!
