Hello, Amazon Sellers!

As we gear up for the holiday shopping season, let's take a moment to talk turkey—or maybe not turkey at all! I'm curious about your thoughts on Thanksgiving cuisine, and I want to stir the gravy boat a little.

Here's my burning question: What do you think is the most overrated Thanksgiving food item?

Is it the classic green bean casserole that always seems to have more mushroom soup than actual vegetables? Perhaps it's the cranberry sauce that comes out of the can with those distinctive ridges intact. Or maybe—dare I say it—you think the revered turkey itself doesn't live up to the hype?

For me, I'd have to go with stuffing. I've had just about every iteration of it I can find, and it all just tastes like soggy bread to me - I don't get it!

I want to hear your hot takes! Share your thoughts in the comments below and let's get a lively discussion going.

Filing an A to Z from A Customer Viewpoint
by Seller_Sram36TnVt73c

So I have a buyer claiming INR despite Delivery Confirmation AND signature confirmation.

The post office confirmed GPS location. The signature looks like chicken scratch. It was delivered late (despite being Priority). I shipped on time, using Amazon buy shipping and the freakin' badge was (is) there when I look at the order and the shipping option I selected.

ANYWAY, I wanted to give this person step-by-step instructions on how to file an A to Z claim by going through it myself on one of my recent Amazon orders (without actually going all the way because I DID receive the merchandise).

Low and behold, before I can attempt an A to Z claim, the 'system' forces a chat or phone contact with customer service before proceeding. And you KNOW how generous THEY are with OUR money...

I presume this often leads to customer service issuing a refund outside of the A to Z process, probably by design. Then we go to the Safe-T claim rodeo for numerous rejections/denials.

Do I have this right?

As we reflect on 2024 and look ahead to 2025, we want to start by thanking you for your partnership and the tremendous innovation and customer benefit that we have delivered together. In addition to many innovations in the customer shopping experience, we maintained lower fulfillment fees for all low-priced products, lowered referral fees for low-priced apparel items, and invested heavily in our supply chain services, including the regionalization of our inbound fulfillment network, improved placement and forecasting, and more efficient operations. As you leveraged these new capabilities and adapted your operations, we saw better in-stock levels, more products placed closer to customers, and the fastest Prime shipping speeds to date. Our partnership over the last year was key to driving record-breaking sales for independent sellers in Amazon's store, with even more sellers growing their sales year-over-year.

We also recognize these changes and new fee types introduced complexity, requiring some of you to modify your operations, invest in different packaging, and navigate additional business decisions. With this in mind, in 2025, we want to focus on simplicity and stability, minimizing your operational burden and costs, while continuing to work together to delight customers and drive growth for your business.

While inflation continues to impact our expenses and we made the biggest ever investment in pay and benefits for our fulfillment and transportation employees, we have also continued to make significant progress in lowering our costs to serve by driving innovation, improving efficiency, and removing defects.

As a result, we will not increase US referral and FBA fees and will not introduce any new fee types. We will also lower some fees and provide additional benefits to support new selection growth. Over the coming weeks and into 2025, we will continue to invest in our fee-related product experiences -- including improving your fee calculators and fee preview tools, enhancing the FBA inbounding experience with features that estimate transportation costs and recommend the most cost-effective shipping options to Amazon, and more, so that you can more easily understand and optimize your business.

Summary of 2025 fee changes

  • We are lowering inbound placement service fees for large bulky-size products an average of $0.58 per unit for minimal shipment splits. For details, go to the Inbound placement service fee page. This change is effective January 15, 2025.
  • We will waive the inbound placement service fee for new parent ASINs that qualify for the FBA New Selection Program and are included in shipments created between December 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. These items will be exempt from the inbound placement service fee up to the first 100 inbounded units per new parent ASIN. For details, go to the Inbound placement service fee page.
  • We are introducing more incentives for adding certain new selection in our store. We will enhance the New Seller Incentives and FBA New Selection programs with greater fee discounts to further support targeted segments of new selection growth. These timebound discounts will be available starting January 15, 2025 on the Seller Benefits page for eligible sellers and selection. We will regularly refresh these discounts and they will include products that are everyday essentials, have high customer demand but lower selection breadth in our store, and popular brands where customers want greater global availability.

Other than these three updates, our US referral and FBA fee types and rates will not change. For a summary of all 2025 fees, go to amazon.com/selling-fee-changes.

We're excited to continue providing you with a great value and are committed to your ongoing success selling in Amazon's store. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to an even greater year of seller success in 2025.

Hello,

I recently applied to register my trademark, but the application was denied due to the inability to verify my business identifier. My business is registered in Ukraine under a simplified registration format known as "Individual Entrepreneur." In this system, the business identifier is the Taxpayer Registration Number (RNTRC), which can be verified through the following documents:

The back of the ID card: The RNTRC (Registration Number of the Taxpayer Record Card) is clearly listed here.

Bank statement: The business identifier is listed as the USREOU code (Unified State Register of Enterprises and Organizations of Ukraine).

I have attached these documents for your reference. The information provided in these documents fully matches the data issued by USTPO, yet my registration continues to be denied.

To my knowledge, there are no other official documents available in Ukraine that specify the Tax ID or its equivalents. Despite this, I keep receiving a generic response:

Originals of all documents in English.

"This decision was made since we could not verify the registered business name and business identifier (for example: tax ID number or business ID number) provided by you at the time of submitting the appeal form."

I don't know what I should provide so that Amazon can verify this data. However, when registering the store, all the same documents were suitable.

Request to Remove Review from Unverified Purchase
by Seller_xmioiKBztMvbK

Hello,

I hope you're doing well. I would like to request your assistance in removing a negative review on one of my products. The review in question can be found at the following link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/RP3JMQRVQKJVT/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=

Upon reviewing it, I believe this review is from an unverified buyer and may not be legitimate. The review is associated with ASIN B00FUYSTA4, and I would appreciate your help in removing it.

For your reference, I have attached a screenshot of the review.

Than you.

Was pleasantly surprised this evening with "Your account is at risk of deactivation" this evening due to "On-Time Delivery Rate". Downloaded the report (Performance > Account health > On-Time Delivery Rate > Download report.), where it shows 1 single order where it seems that postal service did not scan the package in time.

Now, I understand, it happens, postal service may make a mistake or I simply could of made a mistake, but how did it calculate 33.33% On-Time Delivery Rate??? 1 out of 27 orders is 3.70%. Am I crazy here?

The Amazon Support is as usual here with 0 help, with telling me that oranges are color orange and with useless suggestions to enable Automated Handling Time for example (like what does it even have to do with anything?).

I am attaching a screenshot with the deactivation message, metrics, our order count for the dates and the downloaded report. I have just noticed also, from the report that it was shipped on time and it was actually delivered on time, so the only issue is with UPS 1st scan that was late or what is even the issue here??? This should not even go against my account!

PSC2 Shipping Nightmare
by Seller_ZHcAgt21NOh1z
Amazon replied

In September we sent $400,000 of inventory via partnered carrier (Estes Freight) from our California warehouse to PSC2 FC in Pasco, Wa. After the inventory sat at an Estes facility for a few weeks, I contacted Estes and asked what was going on. They told me PSC2 was not accepting appointments. I called again at the start of November, and they told me Amazon had voided the POs on the sealed trailer the inventory was in and that it is stuck indefinitely. Amazon will not respond to Estes about what to do with the shipment.

This shipment took all our inventory space so we can't send more. When I contact Amazon via seller support, they tell me they can't do anything until the units arrive at the warehouse because the shipment status is "receiving".

Is there any way to remedy this? I have no idea who to call or what to do at this point.

I stopped selling on FBA a year ago—well, I was sort of forced out—due to hijackers taking over my listings that I worked hard to build up. A year later, I see my listings flooded with negative reviews and new sellers from China using fake addresses and business names. It's frustrating how Amazon can give me a hard time and restrict my account over an ID verification issue, yet fails to weed out these bad actors. I've taken steps to protect my trademark to avoid such issues, but these hijackers bypass the system effortlessly.

With Amazon's seller fees rising every year, it's disheartening how the platform has become chaotic for those who genuinely invest time and effort to launch and grow their products. Not to mention, the poor buying experience for customers who end up with low-quality products, long shipping times, and the frustration of dealing with hijacked listings offering the lowest prices. This has cost me and many others—both sellers and buyers—thousands of dollars over time. Amazon must be aware of this issue, and at this point, it seems like negligence.

Amazon = Wild
