IF YOU'RE NEW - DO NOT SELL ON AMAZON FBA
by Seller_8XwYBTQorV7RK

This is a message to all potential new Amazon FBA sellers - do not sell on Amazon FBA unless you've read through ALL their policies in detail.

As a new seller, I've had an extremely negative experience selling here with many surprises, and I ended up being charged over $3,100. Some of these surprises come from policies that are hidden and you won't know, until it's too late.

With a failing business (from the ridiculous FBA fees that are charged just for storage), I decided to stop selling on Amazon FBA. With this, I was given an option to stop Amazon FBA and have the items returned to me. In this return process, I tried to look to see if I would be charged for this - nothing was to be found during this process. Amazon ends up charging me over $3,100 for the FBA removals. If you didn't search for their policy using the exact search terms of "FBA removal order fee" then you'd also be unaware of this policy, and subsequently charged.

Getting in touch with Amazon support has been horrible. My feeling is that this is intentional, making the process of contacting an actual person difficult while they have their support team offshore. I have a couple of email responses from members of their "leadership team" (Amala S. and Kurt L.) who both give me a copy and paste exact same response. No real help there, unsympathetic, while treating you just as another number.

From what I've experienced, I wouldn't doubt many others feel the same. If you have experienced something similar, I would encourage posting here and discussing, in order to help and save others the headache and financial hardship. This has left an extremely negative experience with Amazon as a whole, and this is my genuine warning to all potential Amazon sellers.

We are having a lot of our listings removed due to being mistaken for "children's jewelry". All of our jewelry is for adults. Here is the tricky part. Our business name and thus our brand has the word "Girl" in it. Amazon puts our brand name in the forefront of our product titles. We cannot remove it. These listings are being deactivated.

I have appealed all of them stating this, some get reinstated, but some do not. Some of the items are identical except for colors and part of Parent/Child listings so why some get reinstated and some do not, I have no idea. Except, I have noticed that it is one particular representative that always denies our appeals.

Could a mod please look into this for us? We cannot simply change our trademarked business name. Here are some of our cases:

ID 16674633731

ID 16674787441

ID 16674637711

ID 16674559791

ID 16674679051

ID 16674509141

ID 16674558651

ID 16674678981

ID 16674537541

Is there a way to get an exemption from being flagged as children's jewelry because our Business Name/Brand has the word "Girl"?

Is there anyone can help? Our chirstmas tree asin: B0DGLW1XG8 is blocked due to string lights compliance policy. We submitted compliance documents on Oct, 31, 2024. It's still under review now and we are going to miss the peak selling time of this year. We contact seller support and they continue sending repeated template messages to let us wait. Anyone can help to expedite the review process?

Is your brand name suddenly different on Amazon? You're not alone. Learn how to fight back against unauthorized changes and protect your business.

  • Brand name changes are often referred in the Seller Forums as “hijacking.”
  • The term “hijacking,” has also been used in the Seller Forums to describe other offers on a listing or when the featured offer has changed from one seller to another.
  • To ensure a cohesive dialog, this discussion is specifically regarding a change to the brand name attribute on a listing.

Brand name changes that violate the Amazon Brand Name policy are not allowed. To investigate the cause of Brand name changes, a thorough investigation is required to identify the “how” it happened. Based on the results of this investigation, a Community Manager may be equipped with the appropriate information/detail to assist you.

If you have experienced an incorrect change in the brand name of an ASIN, please exhaust these self-service options below first:

Once you have done so, here is what we need from you to get started:

  1. Post a new discussion in the Manage Your Brand category that is specific to the ASIN(s) you are experiencing issues with. (You do not have to list the ASINs, we will cover that in the next step)
  2. Provide a case ID in your post that lists ALL the ASIN(s) and details which explains your issue. Why is this necessary? We don’t want you to have to put any business specific or proprietary information in a public forum and with a case ID as per Community Guidelines. Community Managers can identify relevant information from the case.

Here is what we are getting started with:

An investigation on each ASIN individually.

  • Keep in mind, the root cause is not always the same across all the ASINs and those differences can mean different escalation paths to resolve.

Escalation to the appropriate team to resolve the issue.

  • Reminder: The case ID(s) provided need to meet the Community Manager’s requirement to escalate, see the 5 self-service bullet points listed above

That’s it! The Community Managers will take it from there. Please keep in mind that resolution is not guaranteed and times will vary based on the investigation, number of ASINs, root cause, and how many internal teams we have to connect with. However, we are more than happy to review and see what guidance we can provide!

We want to hear from YOU!

For any Sellers that have received assistance from a Community Manager with an incorrect change to a brand name, we would love to hear about your experience:

  1. Did we miss or leave anything out from the instructions above?
  2. Approximately how long did it take to fix your issue?
  3. Do you think we need to provide more clarification or additional information to this post?

Best, Dougal

Dear Amazon Seller Support,

I am writing to escalate an ongoing issue that I have been trying to resolve for the past two weeks. Our listing’s brand name has been changed to an unrecognized name, "FQQF," and we have no idea how this happened. Despite opening three cases with both Seller Support and Brand Registry Contact Us, the issue remains unresolved.

The first time I reached out, I was told the issue would be resolved within 3 hours to 7 days. However, after waiting for 10 days, no changes were made. Since then, each new case I’ve opened has been closed, with instructions to go back to the Brand Registry Contact Us page — which, ironically, leads me back to the same place as before, exactly as mentioned in the email replies.

At this point, I am frustrated and unsure what steps to take next. It feels like Amazon is ignoring the problem entirely, and I am unable to get any clear resolution.

Please advise how we can resolve this issue and restore our correct brand name.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Case ID related to this issues:

16657340131

16653763961

Order offers only UPS for PO Box Delivery
by Seller_iKDvjr9hWfML4
Amazon replied

I have an order from a customer who provided a PO Box. The order shows this below the ship by/deliver by box:

These are the shipping services offered (note that clicking "See all" just shows everything UPS, but all USPS is greyed out):

As usual, Seller Support does not understand the issue.

Anyone have a magic fix?
