I really don't get why we can't sell for a price that we decide is fair. I had the opposite the other day of a book being underpriced. So if I can't sell it for £11.99 how the heck am I going to sell it for £25.99 ( which I think is the price a US seller is selling it for) It's been up for sale for a couple of years. Surely if I am happy with £11.99 that should be my decision not Amazon's

I have just had an argument with Account Health over a listing that we have been given a violation on.

The item is a foil balloon, that we buy from Amscan for 37p

We was selling this for £2.79 which means that after fees and shipping, we make around 20p profit.

HOWEVER...

We are overpriced as amazon are selling this for 30p !!!!!

The account health specialist states they stand by amazons decision and we need to reduce our price to meet market place expectations.

Oh and to top it off, amazon Usually dispatched within 6 to 7 months so we could get these in time for Christmas. Didn't know 6-7 months was an acceptable delivery time frame?

These policies are becoming a joke...

UK based seller and expanding to other markets. I've been trying to upload Germany specific images via the correct image upload tool but nothing updates.

After creating a case with Amazon support I keep getting the same response.

"Please note that the claiming representative of the brand is notified. If you are the brand owner too, you are not the winning representative of the brand."

I have brand registry, I am the owner, manufacturer and only seller for this brand but I'm not receiving any notifications and I'm just going around in circles with Amazon support. They will not provide me with any further information just the same copy and paste response.

Has anyone experienced similar and managed to resolve it?

Hello @Seller_gAKd3oudaNFHp,

Could you share the case ID so I will take a look?

Hi,

I have received an email that is either genuine or a very good fake, with the title "Email - Action Required: Amazon seller account review". It wants me to click on a link and answer some questions to arrange a virtual video call to confirm my identity, which I am happy to do, but I would like to confirm that the email is genuine before I input my merchant token etc.

I can't see anything within my seller account to indicate that this email has been sent, and the email also says that "Your Amazon selling account has been deactivated ", but there is no indication of this either, which makes me think the email may be a good scam.

Whenever I have used seller chat (for other issues), the replies that I get have been unhelpful and inaccurate (to be polite), and I see that the help that people get is on here is great, so that is why I am asking here first. Could an Amazon mod please take a look at my account and let me know if this email is genuine?

Also, if any Amazon sellers think that the email sounds genuine, do you know how long I might have before my account is actually deactivated?

Thank you very much

Ich bin ein Verkäufer mit Selbstversand und versende meine Bestellungen weiterhin. Ich muss mich jetzt mit vielen After-Sales-Problemen des Käufers befassen. Ich kann E-Mails von Käufern erhalten, aber nicht auf Nachrichten von Käufern antworten. Ich brauche Hilfe.

Fellow sellers, I'm seeking some advice on a frustrating situation I've encountered with another seller undercutting repeatedly.

I initially found a product with great profit margins over 100% ROI and there is about 10-15 sellers. I matched the current Buy Box price and sales were going well for about a month. Then yesterday, another seller started hugging the Buy Box, going just 1p below the current buy box.

It's evident they are using a repricing tool to constantly undercut the lowest price by 1p in order to solely maintain the Buy Box themselves. While I understand the motivation to capture all the Buy Box sales, it's exasperating when sellers configure repricers so aggressively just to box others out.

This particular seller has over 200 seller feedbacks, so they are an experienced seller who surely understands pricing strategies. As a result of their relentless undercutting, my potential ROI on this product has plummeted from over 100% down to only 5-10%.

I've now sold out of my inventory for this item. My question for everyone reading is would you continue sourcing more of this product knowing you'll likely just enter another Buy Box battle? Or would you cut your losses and move on to other products?

I'm all for healthy price competition, but it feels unethical when sellers setup repricers to continuously undercut by the smallest increments just to own the Buy Box. I wish we could agree as a seller community to share the Buy Box rather than trying to monopolize it. But I realize that's unlikely to happen.

Any thoughts or advice on how to approach this type of situation would be appreciated.

Here's to better seller karma for all of us.

Hi, Mine all started going through about a month before yours and I have just received the payment, I got an email every 4-5 days saying they are looking into it and then ne day my payments had the VAT refund on there, I applied on May 16th for the refund as had got the same vat excemption status like yourself before that, hope this helps .

Hi,

So in march i applied to be exempt from paying VAT on seller fee's as im not VAT registered and have been incorrectly charged since opening my account, that was granted and in the response from seller support i was told

''We are glad to inform you, that you have been updated in our system as VAT exempt on Merchant and FBA Seller Fees as of 7th Mai, 2024.

If you wish to request refund of any previously charged VAT, please contact us any time after 16th June 2024, referring the original Case ID 9764898132 Please also note, in order to refund you all the overpaid taxes we require the tax returns for all to be refunded years, please provide them in your new Case after the 16th June''

So i waited until the 16th of June to request my refund, opened a case and sent all my tax documents and requested the refund, this is seller supports response below. They havent given me a definitive answer saying yes my refund is being processed, im told there's no update and to be patient? It doesn't look like amazon wants to give the refund judging by this email, can anyone please advise, is this the response you recieved when you requested your refund?

Thanks
