2 orders yesterday ordered after 11pm, have to be despatched today! It started about 2 weeks ago, 5 in total since then. As a small part-time seller, having to find, package and post items in such a short timeframe is difficult and disruptive.

my listings usually have 3-5 days handling time on the form; Amazon have traditionally allowed about 3 working days. I'm registered as a private seller, and cannot see any global setting where this despatch period has changed.

does anyone else experience this? can the setting be changed? Thanks.

Harsh reply alert.

TBH if you cant afford the £30 charge your probably trying to sell on the wrong platform going forward your gonna need to pay up front for the postage on any of your sales and Amazon wont be paying you for at least 3 weeks if not more after your initial sales.

Start your business somewhere easier and learn the pitfalls of trading on amazon by READING the seller university before starting out.

Amazon is not a getrich quick platform as many of the videos knocking around on FB and YT try to make out. It is however a great place to sell in the long term with some of the best footfall around.

Hi,

I need guidance because a potential listing violation by another seller cannot reach the correct internal team.

Two ASINs in the same category clearly describe the same item. Even a quick look at the product pages (15 seconds) shows identical branding, manufacturer, packaging, product label, bullet points and specs.

However, the two ASINs sit in different category paths. Because of this mis-categorisation, the Report Abuse system appears to treat them as unrelated items and automatically closes the submission with “no violation identified” within 30 seconds. (I've reported more than 3 times)

Escalating through a case in Seller Support only routes the issue to the ASIN merge / Brand Registry teams, even though I’m not requesting a merge, but reporting a possible catalogue manipulation or integrity issue. (I've opened at least 2 cases)

This creates an automation loop where a valid PDP concern is never reviewed by the team responsible for catalogue integrity.

Is there an alternative escalation path when automated filters prevent proper review?

(Not sharing ASINs or seller names due to forum rules.)

Thanks.

Hi

The immediate and unannounced deactivation of a business account with in 15 minutes after sending the email can be financially devastating and incredibly frustrating. When this is coupled with a vague initial reason like Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance, After providing all the evidence now exactly 2 months mysteriously transforms into a reference to a platform's internal "Section 3" without any clear explanation, the user is left in a legal and financial limbo.

We even don't know which policy we have violate and keeping the Account health 1000/1000. How know what Amazon wants from us now. Holding a lot of money and no help at all at this time of the year.

If you have experienced this: Share your story. What was the most frustrating part of the process, and what single piece of information or policy change would have made your situation significantly better?

If you are a legal or compliance professional: What are the key regulatory constraints that prevent platforms from being more transparent about KYC/AML flags, and what is the difference in legal standing between an account flagged for non-compliance (KYC) vs. a policy violation (Section 3)?
