What is a good PC program for filing UK HMRC taxes? I've been doing it manually on the HMRC website, but they suggested using a computer application. Any recommendations?

I send around 100 large letters ( £1.55 ) per month and find that 20-30% dont have delivery confirmation - so it's worth checking delivery , even if you dont get a customer complaint , because you can claim compensation for all those without confirmation ... if each item is worth £20 that's an extra £200 - £300 per month compensation from royal mail .

very rarely have non delivery for tracked 48

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.

Does anybody have any experience of using a PO Box address on Amazon, especially for returns?

We have been on Amazon for over 10 years, so not a new seller. We are moving from our business premises in a few weeks and will be using a residential address for a period. We do not want our residential address publically available for security reasons and have set up a PO Box address. This is no issue on any other marketplace or our website, but Amazon seem to be less than helpful with these type of changes.

All other business information will remain the same - company name, registered business address, company number, VAT number, contact details etc

- The return address will need to be changed to the PO Box address so that customers do not have our residential address.

- The ship from address can remain as our residential address if this information is not publically accessible and used only internally by Amazon. If it is shown publically then this would also need to be changed to the PO Box address.

Does anybody else do something similar or have any experience of it?

Thanks in advance

I have had over 30 parallel import claims in the past 6 months. It seems to be the go-to loophole for brandowners trying to illegally limit competition. Ive been able to appeal succesfully for the most part but then they just resubmit and deactivations are back.... These brand owners are getting the tools to break anti-trust laws in bulk, there should be an investigation as soon as possible. Ive opened many many cases and many were escalated, but no response. I even have written proof of cases where the brand owner even admits to me that it has nothing to do with parallel import, they just dont want us on Amazon.

Correct invoices are rejected because the reviewer is not properly trained to understand parallel import, the product even has an EU flag on it + the brand owner itself is selling on the listing with the name "<BRANDNAME> EU", like how much proof does one need. But no, once identity of brand owner is confirmed, they can block others from selling the product they sell in the same market = 100% ILLEGAL.

Some items they say in their complaint that they did tests orders but we have 0 orders for them since the start. Its ridiculous.

Our BE store is currently deactivated on 5 remaining cases and forgiveness path for Parallel import claims is gone despite all the succesful appeals, we are pushed in a corner.

Legal action against these brand owners is my next step.

Can anyone help

I have been running round in circles since the 5th of this month

Having received and order for 6 variation of the same product I realised that I was been charge a higher rate for 5 of them

When checking it showed that the lower costs was for grocery items and the higher for Home and Kitchen

I sell under the department Grocery

With sub categories Food Cupboard > Baking Supplies > Icing & Decorations > Decorations > Cake Toppers > Cupcake Toppers

I have a product Tax Code: A_FOOD_CAKEDECOR

I do not own any ASINS just SKU’s and the ASIN’s were assigned via Amazon at upload.

I have been told that the products should all be in Home and Kitchen under cake topper

Why is it then that as I was approved to sell under Grocery, have all my products listed under grocery I should be paying the higher rate under Home and Kitchen.

Apparently, it’s because- that they feel Home and Kitchen is the right category for me to be billed under despite my listing under grocery.

I did sent a more detailed reply to @Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP Post 5 days ago though no reply so am reaching out to see if anyone can help at all

I own the brand and all products are branded and 100% edible

We do not have enough information to reinstate your account for one or more of the following reasons:

-- Evidence of delivery or verify that currently uploaded tracking information is correct. Tracking information may be provided in the Manage Orders section of your seller account. This may include buyer confirmation of receipt or proof-of-delivery documentation.

-- You may be missing critical business information from your account to validate positive buyer-seller history across other sales channels. Provide supporting documents that includes but are not limited to business website and email or company bank information.

-- We have observed a significant increase to your sales or an unusual change in your selling patterns. Please provide us supporting evidence that you have inventory to fulfill all of the orders placed. This includes but is not limited to copies of invoices, receipts, contracts, delivery orders, or authorization letters from your supplier issued in the last 365 days.

this is what it keeps asking me even though i have given it its a joke amazon have just forced to send everything to them and now they in result i have terrible delivery times from them and i am paying them every month not to able to sell items myself

We have had 2 returns initiated recently due to errors in the titles of an item.

B07TS8WQVP

Amazon Title - Annie Pattern, with Zip

Title should be IMHO - ByAnnie Out and About PBA282 sewing instructions to make your own Rucksack / Backpack / Knapsack in two sizes. Clear concise instructions

We listed on this item via the upc format.

However the title is incorrect both grammaticaly and factually which has caused one of the returns (amazon automatically issued a return label costing us £3.30 for a letter sized item below 100g on an item that we are selling for £12.50 inc postage))

We have tried many times to correct several of these but as on this one where someone has lited it as a brand called annie instead of the correct ByAnnies you get stumped when trying to get anything changed. Have tried today to add some bullet points to possibly reduce the amount of returns bt they have not come through yet.

There seams to be a policy of just blocking/making a simple operation very difficult any changes asking for hi res photos etc or supplier details and when we look through our listing we probably have 100+ of these that we would like to change the name to the correct one but dont have the time to jump through all the hoops that amazon want to put in the way when it is obvious that the original poster has made a mistake on the listing.

We have had a couple recently asking for the colour to be added. These are on patterns to be made into bags where you choose your own fabric. We have just linked onto the item via the upc and listed that way. Is it possible to have the suppressions picked by the bot overseen by a human to prevent us from wasting time.
