case id:17463637261

My shippment has been received 45 years ago and since then all the unit have been reserved. I created cases asking why but never got a reply. Still all my unis are not sellable and even vine orders 4 weeks ago are not shipped yet. Amazon , you conpletely ruined my business. Why did you don this to me? Why?

Can anyone help?

So I guess I'm wondering if these tariffs will affect sellers of Chinese products who ship directly from China into Amazon US FBA?

Unrelated: why does every single post of mine including this one warn me that I may be posting personal information???

Hey Mods and Fellow Sellers,

I have a hypothetical question regarding submitting sourcing costs in order to navigate submitted costs that are being denied because they "fall outside the normal range".

We sell refurbished electronics, which is a wildly volatile commodity in terms of price fluctuation, so the values of these items naturally decrease over time.

It seems that the Sourcing Cost Portal automatically will reject a cost which comes in higher than a certain percentage of what a seller would net after fees if the item is currently being sold for on Amazon.com.

However, due to rapid market fluctuations we sometimes sell things at a loss or at par without a profit just to liquidate it.

Say are fine with accepting what we would net on a Sale on Amazon.com, but the Amazon Estimate is much lower than that. We only have invoices that show a cost that is too high and if that cost is entered it would get quickly rejected.

Are we allowed to enter a cost lower than the invoice amount (but higher than the Amazon Estimate) so that it gets accepted?

For Example:

Item A is Selling for $299.00

Our Cost is $275.00, and we have an invoice for $275.00, but we know that if we enter $275.00, it will automatically get rejected, but the Amazon estimate is $200.00 and that is way too low.

Can we Enter $250.00 as the Sourcing Cost and upload the invoice for $275.00? Will the $250.00 Sourcing Cost Get Approved?

I am having a whirlwind of a time dealing with these new sourcing costs... some of my costs get accepted for some products, and some don't while they're the exact same invoice?

I kind of let that idea go once I heard that we would be able to submit a case to re-evaluate already reimbursed lost items.. okay, great.. I guess..

Fast forward to today, I have been going back and forth trying to get the re-evaluation accepted, but they keep just denying and closing my case.. seems like they aren't even looking at the invoice provided?

They've estimated a cost / reimbursed me at around $11.62 for an item that we pay $20.00 for direct from the manufacturer... We have the invoices, but I don't know why they are denying it? This seems like out-right theft at this point.. I can forgive the excessive underestimations of costs at the beginning while they "learn", but not allowing you to fix it is does not sit right with me..

We purchase direct from the manufacturers, that is who sends us our invoices.. packing lists.. etc. No middle men.

I'm asking for some help on what I could possibly do to get this fixed up and reimbursed at LEAST the cost we pay for our goods! Hopefully someone out there has found a way? Or maybe a mod would help me out? I really need some light shed on this..
