Hi Amazon,

Please what is going on with our Payments. Why are all the payments being held up in Deferred Transactions despite our Account is in good health? Over the past two payment cycles, we have not received payment for our sales on the platform and the last payments were peanuts which is way less compared to the tens of thousands in Sales we have made. I thought your deferred transaction policy is DT + 7days so why is it that since October till date no useful or substantial payment made despict the spike in sales and velocity so why holding on to the sales proceeds as this has significantly impacted our cash flow and operational capacity. Our account is in good health so we should be getting paid a substantial amount too so we can at least pay our Suppliers too even if we can't pay ourselves for all the hard work done to deliver on customers' orders. We need all these Funds release please as it's already affecting our relationship with our supplier. Amazon should pay up and stop holding on to the funds perpetually as this can be demoralizing for business.

I'm so hopeless. Does anyone have any idea?

My product was assigned to a wrong category, I opened many cases, and it didn't work.

I also tried uploading a flat file and changing it like that, but it also didn't work.

Last time I even opened a very detailed case with many photos showing the usage of the product, many explanations, and various proofs, and it still didn't work.

I can't see any reason why my product is related to the wrong item type, when it is totally irrelevant. I am truly hopeless. Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot

Hello Amazon Sellers,

I’ve encountered a situation where a customer has left a series of 1-star reviews for my product and multiple competitors, alleging the presence of synthetic PDE5 inhibitors, which is untrue. These reviews appear to be part of a targeted pattern against similar products.

I’ve already opened a case with Amazon Seller Support (Case ID: 10535034902 & 10534458072), but would appreciate advice from others who have faced similar issues. Is there a way to escalate this to higher authorities to review the cases more thoroughly?

Thanks for your help!

On October 19, 2024, I received an email from Amazon stating that my account was deactivated. The reason given was: "You have been found to be related to an account beginning with Savegram." I called customer service, and they informed me that I have an Amazon seller account on the Japan marketplace. I opened the Japan marketplace account at the same time as my US Amazon seller account, but due to language barriers and other requirements, I didn't list any items or make any sales on the Japan marketplace. This was about three years ago. During this time, I have been processing orders on the US and Canadian marketplaces without any issues. My account was in good standing with no violations. An Amazon customer service representative told me that to reactivate my US Amazon seller account, I must first reactivate my Japan Amazon seller account. To do that, I need to submit documents such as a bill with my address on it, my ID, and a business license. On October 22, 2024, I uploaded my bank statement, energy bill, and business certificate. However, on October 25, 2024, my documents were rejected due to insufficient evidence.I called US customer service, and they advised me to appeal the decision by uploading more information. On October 26, 2024, I submitted my driver's license, bank statement, water bill, and company tax ID. This appeal was also rejected without any notification from the Japan marketplace; the status simply changed to "Our evaluation is complete," but my account remained deactivated. I called US customer service again, and this time they suggested that perhaps I should provide less information. I then submitted another bank statement and my tax ID. Unfortunately, this appeal was also rejected. I called US customer service again, and they escalated the case for review, informing me that it might take up to seven days for a review. This was on October 31, 2024. and I still have not received any responses from Amazon, and my account remains deactivated on the US, Canada, and Japan marketplaces.

At 11/21/2024 I opened another case with Amazon Customer Service in Japan, Case ID # 2909470363 , provided yet another fresh, dated 11/2024 utility bill with my name and address on it and received follow respone from Amazon Japan: "Upon review your account history, unfortunately that we cannot reinstate your account with the documents you submitted. The exact reason is not disclosed to Account Health SupportI need some advice on what to do to reactivate my account."

I have spent a lot of time on the phone with Customer Service and feel that the Amazon customer service representatives lack the knowledge to resolve this situation. I hope to find some good advice here.

PLEASE HELP @Emet_Amazon@ Atlas_Amazon

Please help to restore the stock of the product!
by Seller_qIm63eOYxt3Nd

Shipment ID: FBA18BT6DY1Y/FBA18BT6DY2L

Case ID: 16555779531/16544312941

Product basic information: This product has 220 balls in a package, of which every 4 balls are placed in a small package (plastic bag packaging), each package has 55 small packages. There should be 220 balls per product we sell to customers.

Description of the problem: We shipped 100 pieces of this product, but the shipment IDs FBA18BT6DY1Y and FBA18BT6DY2L were unpacked by Amazon staff. Currently, 13 products of FBA18BT6DY1Y have been shipped, and 428 products have been received by Amazon. FBA18BT6DY2L shipped 11 products and Amazon received 70 products. Note: Our packing cases are labeled with tamper-proof labels!

Handling process: After we found the abnormal situation, we immediately investigated the relevant situation and confirmed that the product was unpacked by Amazon staff. In order to prevent customers from buying products that are inferior in weight, we immediately closed the product page and intend to open the page after processing the product.

We contacted the staff of Amazon to ask if they could help us repack these unpacked products, and if they could help us waive the storage fee while the product inventory is being processed. It has been 18 days since we investigated the question!

As for the shipment ID FBA18BT6DY1Y (16544312941), we have not received any reply. We have replied the case for many times to inquire about the progress, but there is no reply! The shipment ID FBA18BT6DY2L (16555779531) replied that we need to wait 30 days to help us repackage, which takes too long, so we can not only sell products in the peak season, but also be charged high storage fees in the peak season. This is a very big loss for us!

Appeal:

1. Please help to confirm whether the unpacked products of FBA18BT6DY1Y can help us repack them as soon as possible.

2. Could you help speed up the repackaging of FBA18BT6DY2L unpacked products, so that we can catch up with the peak season to sell products?

3. Could you help us reduce the storage costs caused by the operation mistakes of Amazon staff?

As a responsible seller on the Amazon platform, in order to provide customers with a good shopping experience and find product problems, we actively investigate. Even though the problem was caused by an error on the part of Amazon staff and it would have cost us money to stop selling products during the peak season, we still closed the product page for nearly 20 days. We need the cooperation of Amazon to solve the problem, but we have been perfunctory by Amazon staff. I hope we can get effective help this time!

Missing Items from Inbound - FBA18D4TQM9C
by Seller_L58DLctf4p19n

Good day!

I have an issue that Amazon indicated that they received less inventory of what I actually send. They requested me to add the original invoice that shows the quantity purchased, date and product description and I did attach it. Everything is indicated to the invoice and also the full details of my supplier but I received a reply that - documentation provided doesn't meet one or more of the requirements for acceptance. It does not make sence since all that they mentioned as requirements it is indicated on the invoice. Here is the reply I received from them :

Hello from Amazon Selling Partner Support,

I know that a quick resolution of our investigation is important to your business.

However, we're unable to continue our investigation because the documentation provided doesn't meet one or more of the requirements for acceptance.

This case has been resolved. When you're able to provide documents that satisfy all requirements, please create a new case.

To help us continually improve, we ask that you take a moment to complete our survey below to tell us about your experience with this specific interaction.

Were you satisfied with the support provided?

I really need some assistance to resolve this because there are hundreds of products missing.

Im a new seller and I received a letter to verify my 1 item that I sorced legally from a store with a valid receipt. I'm trying to understand why im being picked on when there are 15 other sellers on the same listing. I don't even know if they are real and the fact that they have my personal emails they sent that email to my two personal emails has annoyed me and Amazon has not said anything to me about the listing. I'm trying to figure out how they obtained my personal information. Can anyone tell me what I should do with this? I have told them I don't mind providing a receipt however, I would like to know how they got both of my personal email addresses.

Two years ago, my domestic partner and I each opened separate Amazon Seller accounts to pursue individual e-commerce ventures. His account was created as part of my the wholesale business, which involved a manager handling inventory and sales. My own account, was established to build a private-label brand focused on unique products. While the accounts were opened simultaneously, they were created with completely independent business goals and operations. Soon after opening, both our accounts were deactivated.

Per Amazon instructions: “To reactivate your account, please provide evidence that you once owned the account or had account rights but no longer own it or no longer have account rights by providing supporting documentation. This includes but is not limited to sales deed, purchase agreement, business transfer agreement, or contract termination.”

I continue to send documents explaining this and no action to reactivate was taken. Every message received from Amazon Performance team was to submit the same documents that I've sent several times.

Unfortunately, after facing persistent challenges the accounts were eventually abandoned. My partner made the decision to dissolve his business entirely, and it was formally dissolved with the California Secretary of State. The associated Amazon Seller account went through the account closure process.

To support this, I have sent the certificate of dissolution.

Since his account is no longer operational and has been legally dissolved, I respectfully requested the reactivation of my account. My account is entirely separate, and I am committed to complying with all Amazon Seller policies moving forward.

Response from performance team: “To reactivate your account, please provide evidence that you once owned the account or had account rights but no longer own it or no longer have account rights by providing supporting documentation. This includes but is not limited to sales deed, purchase agreement, business transfer agreement, or contract termination.”

OMG! This is so frustrating!! Please help.
