Seller be Aware! Amazon will become a free rental center

Amazon is now forcing 3rd party sellers to accept a policy which will completely take over the return inspection and charging restocking fee ability. Buyer will get the money back immediately without item being checked once the label is scanned.

Be prepared for the spike of the return. Buyer will get full “rental deposit” back.

It’s the time for a plan B. Amazon is no longer the right platform for 3rd party sellers who don’t use FBA.

yeah AMAZON just granted an A-Z claim before we could even see the claim and it was for an order that customer received December 17th last year.

All these market places are getting ridiculous. Wm has the same policy.

The question is will Amazon apply this to their sales, or is it just 3rd party?

Returns are a problem for some sellers and their products and not for other sellers or all products.

Returns fraud is a big problem for seller of certain types of product and not others.

Some sellers have to eat the losses on their returns, others are covered by their suppliers.

Some sellers have sufficient margin to eat the losses on their returns, not others.

Some sellers can write a successful Safe-T claim and not others.

The subject of this post is probably going to be accurate for some sellers and not others.

Some sellers should invoke their Plan B before it takes effect. Others should wait and see how it works. Still others can ignore the change completely.

Like every change Amazon makes, some get hurt more than others.
