I started selling a bit in the US using FBA this year (I'm a Canadian).

I've paid 10k$ in selling fees and 4k$ in FBA fees. I assume there are taxes built-in those costs theat I should get back as a business.

Any idea where I can see a break down and see the amount of VAT included in there?

My storage fees have slowly been going up to an astronomical amount. My storage is small and only at 40% capacity, but in the past 5 months, I've been charged random amounts every two weeks that add up to $2,052.61! I sell baseball hats, so they are a small item and this makes no sense to me. Over the past year, the charges have gone up and become more frequent. In total, I've been charged almost $2,800. I'm being charged every 2 weeks for normal storage fees around $60 on top of long term storage fees every 2 weeks that started at $180 and quickly moved up to $450. In just the past 4 weeks, I've been charged $1,146 in storage fees. Every time I get someone from Amazon Seller on the phone, I'm told they can't help me, but I'll be transferred to someone who can, and then the call is disconnected. Not sure what to do. This is absurd and feels like fraud!

2 of my ASINs were removed by Amazon after being identified as “escrima sticks, bo staff, or a similar blunt force striking device.” The products in question are wooden kendo practice sticks.

I had this exact exchange with Amazon Customer Service in March 2024, where after careful review, Amazon recognized that the products indeed were NOT weapons, and then approved my products for sales. I subsequently sold these products on Amazon for 8 months without a problem, and currently am holding FBA inventory equivalent to $46,000. Not only that, there are numerous sellers on Amazon that are currently selling basically the same category (kendo stick). Amazon even has product categories named 'Escrima sticks', 'Bo staffs'!

I appealed to reinstate these ASINs but was rejected by Restricted Products Team without any explanation or comments on the points I’ve made. All I’m getting is a regurgitation of the “This product has been identified as “escrima sticks, bo staff, or a similar blunt force striking device.”

Forceful removal of the inventory will completely bankrupt my business and I need help very urgently.
