We have a customer bought 4 different cravats all shipped together as it was one order. Customer has opened a return for 3 cravats and has been provided 3 different return labels by Amazon at our cost. Surely customer should only receive one returns label for the order rather that 3?

We have seen a big increase in customers orders “for choice” and sending lots of items back via the free returns label as a result our returns rate on Amazon is three times higher than eBay.

Hello im looking for some advise in how to deal with someone who cant handle any competition

I have been selling generic remote controls compatible with firesticks, if you search for them on amazon there is 2 listings at the too of the page were iver 5k per month are being sold . I am selling them cheaper and therefore i am getting reported saying he owns the "design rights". Basically he has took a photo of the remote and paid £50 to claim he designed it , and he hasnt

The remote was on the market years in china years before he registered his photos of it and obtained a design rights number . There must be 500 people selling the same remotes on amazon but he dont report them as they arent competing and affecting his sales , how can amazon just allow people to pay £50 to get a design right number and claim they are the designer . Surely this is illegal to claim your the design owner and you should be providing alot more evidence to register a design to obtain a rights owner number than putting a product on a table and taking photos of it

Just need look at your margin & not worry about what other sellers are doing.For me,25% is minimum I know many sellers run at a margin way lower there's lots of busy fools on here. I currently average 35-40% daily/monthly.If any sku drops below 25% I just dump it & move on

They are correct in what they say.

For what it's worth the pro selling plan is essentially free once you get to 33/34 sales per month. It has also has other benefits that many sellers find useful.

Hello Amazon Community,

I've been trying to get my account verified for our UK VAT establishment, but despite submitting all required documents, the process is stalled. Our company has two directors: one based in the UK with more than 50 percent share, whose driving license and water utility bill have been provided, alongside other necessary company documents. The second director's ID and bill have also been submitted.

Despite this, Amazon has not provided a clear reason for the verification failure. Could anyone shed light on what might be causing the issue or share their experience in resolving similar verification challenges?

Thank you in advance for any assistance or insights you can provide!

Dear Sellers Members,

We're sharing some crucial updates regarding the upcoming implementation of the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) in the European Union (EU), including Northern Ireland, under the Northern Ireland Protocol.

This regulation, set to take effect on December 13, 2024, marks a significant milestone in ensuring the safety and integrity of non-food consumer products in the EU market.

Here's a quick overview of what you need to know:

For listings on Amazon UK-based store, you don’t need to submit any information to Amazon. You must, however, submit the required information for listings on Amazon EU-based stores. For instructions, open this help page in the Seller Central website for the EU-based store, where you sell products in scope of the GPSR.

Scope of GPSR: Most non-food consumer products offered for sale in the EU will fall under the jurisdiction of GPSR, including used, repaired, and reconditioned items. However, certain exceptions apply, such as medicinal products, food and drinks, and living plants and animals.

Key Requirements:

• Responsible Person: It's mandatory to have a Responsible Person established within the EU for your non-food products. Make sure to label your products with their contact information in one of the EU's official languages.

• Manufacturer Information: Label your products with the manufacturer's contact details and, if applicable, the importer's information. Ensure the visibility of this information on both physical products and online listings.

• Labelling and Traceability: Adhere to GPSR and existing labelling requirements. Ensure each product carries a unique identifier for easy identification. Provide necessary warning and safety information, both physically and in online listings.

Action Required for Sellers:

• Proving Compliance to Amazon: Ensure compliance with GPSR requirements for EU-based stores. Non-compliant listings risk removal and ineligibility for flash sales.

• Brand Owners: Verify product compliance, enroll in Amazon Brand Registry, appoint a Responsible Person, provide manufacturer information, and display necessary details on product pages.

• Resellers: Verify compliance, provide Responsible Person and manufacturer information, display product pictures and safety information.

• Removing Products from Sale: If not continuing sales in EU stores, remove affected products from inventory via Manage Inventory dashboard or FBA.

• Displaying Information on Product Pages: Responsible Person and manufacturer information, along with relevant images and safety documents, will be displayed on product detail pages within 24 hours of confirmation.

• Submitting Information to Amazon: Use the Add compliance information widget in the Manage your compliance dashboard to provide necessary details. Submitting Responsible Person and manufacturer information: FR DE IT ES

Remember, this post serves as a guide and not legal advice. For specific queries regarding compliance with GPSR, we advise consulting your legal counsel.

Previous News post: Prepare for the new General Product Safety Regulation.

Stay tuned for further updates and ensure your products are in alignment with GPSR standards for a seamless market experience.

Have a great day ahead!

Just got another one. I sell at £30. Two other sellers, 1 at £56 and the other at £76. I get deactivated and both of those are still in place.

Surely this is price fixing?

My business partners and I would highly appreciate someone from Amazon to really help us here and correct this wrongdoing in Restricting our account for false VAT claims:

Account Health Case ID: 9856291392

In the performance notification on 26 May 2024 12:56 CEST, you wrote us:

"You will need to pay the VAT amount to Amazon for the historical unpaid VAT for the sales of goods delivered to customers in the UK on all sales from 1 January 2021, which fall under the UK VAT on eCommerce legislation. We will send you additional information regarding next steps, including payment options."

However, we had ZERO sales to UK customers long before you approved our new entity in the Republic of Cyprus in July 2023. That means NO Sales = NO VAT to the UK. Also, ZERO FBA inventory is stored in the UK for FBA or ours. So, there is no historical VAT due to UK customers, and we have all the documentation to prove this.

We have contacted twice your Amazon Health Account team, and in both calls, they confirmed that our non-UK establishment is still under investigation.

Secondly, asking us for sensitive data and documents of a company that is not operating this Amazon account anymore (the UK-based business) is not right.

We have already provided more than enough from them that you had on file already, and more from our current EU company.

This means accusing us of unpaid UK VAT for selling activity that is not there and EU VAT for an EU company that sells to EU customers. It simply does not make ANY sense, legally, tax-wise, and more.

Can one of the Amazon managers please help review my submission? I have had no response for many working days and the cashflow issue keeps growing, plus the huge impact in our sales.

We have provided all the documentation requested to prove all the above and more.

Thank you!
