Hi totally agree,in a modern world of online buying,over 99% of happy customers can not be bothered with feedback.the system as it is at the moment is pointless.

You don't know what you doing and you selling on Amazon for beanuts modern day slave that's why they fked up every seller because of people like you 1.5 profit you selling sands maybe

I may have accidentally discovered a new branch of physics inside Seller Central.

Order details:

Purchase date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026, 10:51 GMT

Ship by: Thu, 5 Feb 2026 GMT

Fulfilment: Amazon

Shipping service: Standard

Sales channel: Amazon.co.uk

Order payment released: 20 Mar 2026

So unless I am misunderstanding modern logistics, this appears to be an FBA order that existed before the stock had fully arrived, shipped sometime inside a time tunnel, and only collapsed into a payable state nearly two months later.

At this point I think Amazon is no longer using normal retail metrics.

It is using quantum retail mechanics:

• inventory can be sellable and not yet received at the same time

• orders can be both dispatched and still theoretically pending

• payment remains in a Schrödinger state until observed several weeks later

• “ship by date” may refer not to shipping, but to an alternative dimension

I am not even complaining at this stage.

I just want to know whether this is:

• standard FBA behaviour

• warehouse lag plus metric lag

• catalogue/inbound sync issue

• or Quantum Amazon Retail, where cause and effect are now optional

Has anyone else seen FBA orders appear in a way that suggests the unit was already buyable before inbound processing had properly caught up?

I used to think FBA stood for Fulfilment by Amazon.

Now I think it stands for Functions Beyond Arithmetic.

Hi.

I get your frustrations, but i do feel Amazon have evolved

We started (in another company I owned) about 16/17 years ago on Amazon, at the time anything sold, we bought barcodes from ebay sellers, it was easy...

Then covid hit, wow, what a boom time

For now: Amazon have moved to more of a branded platform, which has forced us to evolve.

Since we have or own brand, we have to do do vine, we have to pay for videos and pay for A+content, but these are deal breakers

My question to whoever is doing our listing, would you have confidence in the listing over a competitor to buy the product from us. We learnt from the Chineese thir listings are really good

I think sometimes we can get stale in business, there are so many modern tools to make life easier, from AI for infographics, to the likes of A2X for accounting. 16 years ago we had graphic artists working for us, we had full time book keeper, most of those expenses have gone, so it has evolved but it has its challenges

I personally would reccomend people to use FBA, I have learnt over the years, it really takes the stress away. Customers have more faith in delivery, so sales are higher, businesses buy as they get an autoated Vat recipt

Margins may be lower, but you can go away without worrying........ Its a different life

Good luck
