Welcome to Seller Forums

What will you do? Will you be able to pay for these tariffs?

Will you limit your imports?

Will you increase your prices?

Will you go out of business as a 3rd party seller?

I don't know how to flag this for account representatives, but I sell antennas for ham radios which are passive wires. Amazon delisted my product because they said they weren't certified. The FCC says (in responses to my emails) "How can you certify a piece of wire?" "Wires can't be certified". Amazon restored my listing but now all my inventory is suddenly marked defective. They were distributed to several FCs and sold under prime until the delisting incident. No one will tell me why they are defective; they just provide a list of 20 reasons product are marked as defective. None of the reasons fit my scenario. I am now trying to get them back, but support says it could take 90 days to return them. How am I supposed to stay in business if Amazon keeps coming up with reasons for me not to sell? Here is what I know:

I manufactured the products. They meet requirements for effective devices.

They were not recalled.

They are made of titanium alloy wire and are indestructible (a selling point).

Every item is packed separately and has a UPC code.

The packages are sealed with packing tape.

They are distributed to several FCs.

They have good customer reviews.

The are not dangerous.

The only possibility is that they are packed in tubes rather than boxes, but I checked with Amazon and the post office before hand and both said they were acceptable. Besides, receiving accepted and distributed them without any errors.

Support is worthless. They do investigations and then tell me the result is that they can't do investigations.

I get notice email from Amazon and ask me to provide the product liability insurance.

but I'm having issue with purchasing insurance on Amazon insurance platform, my Amazon account is personal account, the Amazon insurance platform must input the company lisence while purchasing, but I don't have, Could anyone can help me on this issue? How should I purchase insurance?

discussion.i dont know why my account is deactivated and they didn't even provide a explanation why my account is deactivated

Someone please explain this to me. So, a bit of context. Been on Amazon only 3+ months selling 1 product that we manufacture and with "Brand Approval" Selling FBM with professional account. Within 2 months our product was copied by a Chinese seller, using much of our text word for word, and undercut us by more than $9 using coupons, fake reviews etc. selling FBA . We knew this would happen eventually, as we can't compete with Chinese mfg.. But here's the rub.. Both our products are listed in the "tools and home improvement " category, but Amazon is promoting this competitors product twice as much as ours. This only happens in the evening, between 9:00 pm to 6:oo am MST. with their listing showing up at least twice in searches and the other day 7 times before I quit counting. During the remaining hours their listing defaults back to a single listing for the rest of the day. How am I supposed to compete with this? Would seem we're being screwed over by Amazon. I've noted this with seller support yesterday. Any advice on how to remedy this appreciated, as I feel the response I'll receive from Amazon will be "sucks to be you". Only asking for a level playing field. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

My seller account recently had its account health reduced to critical due to an Identity Verification Violation. I submitted an appeal three days ago, and the status has been showing:

"You have provided your document and information.

Your document and information are being analyzed and we may contact you by email for further clarification within 2 business days."

However, despite waiting, my account status has not changed, and I haven't received any additional requests or updates from Amazon. I'm concerned about how long this process will take and whether I need to take any further action. Has anyone else experienced this delay? Is there any way to escalate the case or contact the right team for quicker resolution?

Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

We are receiving automated responses stating that we are "not eligible to sell," despite having submitted all required and valid documents. Our documents fully comply with Amazon’s requirements for proving product authenticity and supply chain verification. The automated rejection appears to be an error.Kindly escalate this matter to the appropriate team. We appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to your response

I sell fashion, as we know return % is sky rocketing so it is hard to survive, been selling on Amazon since 2012 !! it was never this bad, and last few years Amazon is forcing us on automatic returns authorization with UPS Amazon return label at an outrages costs, we ship with FedEx 2nd day flat rate and most items will ship for $8.00, when a buyer returns we are being charges anywhere from $13 to $20 !! PER ITEM how can we survive this ?? Amazon refund the buyer in full including original shipping fees (we do not offer free shipping anymore) so Amazon decide for us that we refund original shipping + we pay for return label no matter what the return reason is, so each return item now costs us $8.00 + ($13-$20) , when we open a T-safe case we get $5-$7 back.....we try to contact Amazon to let us give buyers labels - nothing, we try to contact UPS to get these costs reduced they say it not them its Amazon, Amazon say its UPS .....

this is frustrating and really not fair, I am sure I am not the only one who deals with this, and now I am working toward closing my company because I am now paying Amazon more then I make ....no seance
