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

Full email below FYI:

Dear Seller,

selling account has been deactivated in accordance with Section 3 of the Business Solutions Agreement. Amazon’s Business Solutions Agreement can be found here.

Why is this happening?

We have reviewed your account and would like to confirm your identity.

How do I verify my identity?

To verify your identity, you need to complete virtual identity verification over a video interview. To reserve a time slot for the interview, fill out the form here.

After we receive your response on this form, we will invite you for the interview on one of your preferred time slots, 48 hours before the interview. After your verification interview is complete, we will review the results and respond with the outcome within 5 business days.

We’re here to help.

If you have any questions, contact Selling Partner Support.

thats hit and miss for me. I did try deleting PA and CA and relisted after 72 hours without any solution.

Nit sure about your but mine are all FBA listings and keep paying fees without sale.

The support team said " I have to complete the 5 -question quiz in my Account Health page, where you will be given an opportunity to take a five-question quiz regarding the ODR policy. You have 72 hours to take the quiz. If you pass the quiz, no plan of action (POA) will be required from you, or will your listings be deactivated. "

However, I CANNOT FIND any button OR LINK that I have to do this quiz in my Amazon page. Anyone can help? million thanks!

And How to i reduce ODR rate?

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,

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

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 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!

hi my VTR is 18% I was using Royal Mail 1st class standard service. how can I improve my VTR or its too late my account will be deactivate ? I am a new seller FBM

I am trying to understand the following issue, where a secondary marketplace does not generate any listings statuses or issues when price is updated.

The Issue:

I created a standalone listing in the UK marketplace. to get the listings status I sent a get request`GET /listings/2021-08-01/items/{sellerId}/{sku}` which worked fine and returned the listing status. Please check listings api.

Similarly, when I created another standalone listing in another marketplace, France, `GET /listings/2021-08-01/items/{sellerId}/{sku}` worked fine and returned the listing status.

Now

Let's say you want to create a listing in the UK and don’t want to create the same one in France. Amazon provides an option where you can edit the listing to add an additional marketplace (e.g., France).

To do that:

Hit the edit button on the listing created in the UK.

A new screen shows up, allowing you to add a new marketplace (France).

Once added, the same listing previously created in the UK will show up in France marketplace.

After this, if you go to UK marketplace and you update the price or the listing, sending a get request `GET /listings/2021-08-01/items/{sellerId}/{sku}` will return a response indicating that a listing has been updated in the UK marketplace and nothing for France. However, if you update the price of same listing for France marketplace (which is the only value you can update; you can’t update the title or any other attribute), you receive nothing for both marketplaces.
