I know the forums are filled with complaints about Amazon's new Sourcing Cost policy - but I don't know where else to turn. Seller Support has been useless on this issue.

We are a Brand Registered Manufacturer that has been selling on Amazon for over a decade. We manufacture fairly niche products (natural pest repellents) which I mention because any claim that Amazon is using lower 'ceiling numbers' to deny our Sourcing Cost claims is completely baseless. There are only a handful of companies in the United States that make similar products to ours - and there is no debate about how much these items cost to produce. The Sourcing Costs Amazon is 'estimating' for us are absolutely incorrect (and, surprise surprise, they are all incorrect on the low side).

It has been impossible to get clear information from Amazon about how they want Sourcing Cost evidence to be formatted. For many of our products, we have 10+ invoices from the suppliers of our raw materials to submit if we want to get an accurate estimate. These invoices don't show the breakdown of the per-unit cost - so we need to include a spreadsheet with our submission that details how we are arriving at our estimate.

For example:

We buy a 55 Gallon Barrel of Mint Oil to use in our products. The invoice shows the cost of the barrel. A bottle of our product only includes half an ounce of mint oil. So our spreadsheet would show the breakdown of what a half an ounce of mint oil would cost when taken out of the total cost of the barrel. If a product has 10 ingredients - each once needs to have a similar invoice/spreadsheet breakdown. Then we have to include an invoice for the bottle, sprayer top, labels, etc. THIS DOES NOT EVEN TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION SHIPPING COSTS AND LABOR.

So we get all of this information together - submit it in one clean, organized file...and it gets denied by Amazon IMMEDIETLY. Within minutes of the file being submitted and processed. It could not be more clear that the file was denied before a human being actually considered the information. When we create cases to investigate the reasons why it was denied, Seller Support copy and pastes the exact same response every single time. They simply point me to their Inventory Reimbursement Policy and Sourcing Cost Policy. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY ARE CLAIM IS BEING DENIED. No one can even give me recommendations on how to format our submission.

Any insight from manufacturers that had success submitted multi-part files as evidence for Sourcing Cost claims would be greatly appreciated. Any response from Forum Mods would also be great. Thank you.

Listings hijacked
by Seller_5KyW5ukzGWrWx
Amazon replied

Hi @Seller_GEZPMc4CeQfh6

These ASIN got hijacked once again...(You previously helped us escalate it and the brand names were corrected).

We have reported it, but (as usual) "no violation has been identified". Please see Complaint ID: 17895574341 and 17896021611

Many thanks for your help

Amazon support has been COMPLETELY useless in this. Been going back and forth for days and they never understand the issue at all, judging from their responses.

I am trying to sell HID Signo card readers, specifically Model # 20NKS-T1-000000

HID Is brand-restricted, meaning only people approved to sell that brand can sell it. I have approval, and have had it for a while. I have also sold other models of this same card reader on Amazon before.

This specific model (20NKS-T1-000000) has been listed by someone else fraudulently as "Generic" so that he could bypass the brand restriction. I have over 1,000 of these and want to list them FBA, but whenever I try it gives me Error 5886 (can't edit generic listing) since someone else owns that listing and it won't allow me to edit it or sell it myself.

ASIN in question: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DZJ1WWP9?smid=A1D58K9PXVRN9R&psc=1

Other ASINs of the same product (different models) being sold under the correct brand-restricted brand:

https://www.amazon.com/HID-Signo-20-20NKS-00-000000-Multi-Technology/dp/B08NC68TZ1

https://www.amazon.com/HID-Signo-20-20KNKS-00-000000-Multi-Technology/dp/B08SPNC9SL

https://www.amazon.com/HID-Signo-20-20TKS-00-000000-Multi-Technology/dp/B08SQ6FDT2

https://www.amazon.com/HID-40KNKS-T0-000000-Contactless-Smartcard-Multi-Technology/dp/B0BRYKWM83

https://www.amazon.com/HID-Signo-40-40NKS-00-000000-Multi-Technology/dp/B08NC5CTDF

Anyone with half a brain could discern the difference between these listings and the one I want to sell. Amazon can't seem to figure it out. They keep telling me to report the listing. Within SECONDS of reporting it I get an email saying that they "have investigated and found no violations." I'm sure they investigated it within seconds... Unbelievable and completely useless.

Category Approval Required
by Seller_IeDjAlMJ8uhrJ
Amazon replied

Hey Guys!

Need some help. As a brand enrolled into Brand Registry, we are running into an issue when trying to list our new product. Upon the initial listing creation, we are getting hit with an error that is making our listing "inactive" within Amazon. We are being prompted to request selling approval in order for our listing to go live, but upon going to the screen, in order to make that request - we have been met with the error message "we are not accepting applications to sell".

This is a protein supplement product so I understand the category being initially gated. We originally reached out to Brand Registry Support for help but was directed to reach out to Seller support instead.

Any guidance or support you can provide here would be great!!

Hi

I have had trouble with returns in the past (got the Frequently Returned Item badge...Yay!) and had to take actions on my listing to address. Fast forward a couple of months and the rate has come down significantly.

Of course I'd like to have the badge removed, but that's something I know Amazon has to decide on.

In any case my issue is that the return rate shown in the VOC area is totally wrong. It's more than double the rate shown, for instance, on the New Seller Experience Dashboard (ditto the software I use, and all variations of calculations I have done...even going back a couple of weeks and then calculating backwards). I have tried to open cases with Seller Support but I am getting nowhere. They either answer a different question or tell me they have no way to change the rate shown in VOC. I had a frankly record-setting length of a chat on my last ticket...with screenshots, quotes from Amazon explaining what the rate should be, everything. I asked (nicely, mostly) multiple times for an escalation to someone else. I still got nothing.

I have seen others in this forum that experienced something similar. Has anyone been able to address this? Obviously this is having a huge impact on conversions because of the badge, and if the right rate was being considered I think there's a chance they might take it off.

Thanks

I ran an Inactive Listings report and I have 1468 listings in this report.

I ran an Active Listings report and I have 7124 listings in this report.

That should be a total of 8592 listings.

However:

My All Listings report shows 7309 listings.

In Seller Central, if I click the All Inventory link it shows 7309.

So, 1283 listings are being counted in both "Active" and "Inactive" inventory reports.

Dear Amazon Seller Support.

I am writing to formally request the removal of negative feedback for order number 113-9782648-4615468.

Feedback details:

Order ID: 113-9782648-4615468

Feedback Date: 2025/05/11

Feedback: Says it came 5/9 way to early I don't own the condo yet! Furniture not at the location. Delivery was to happen 5/14

Request to remove feedback:

We have shipped the package on time within the estimated delivery time shown when the buyer placed the order and the package arrived within the time specified by the platform, we did not violate the rules and it was not a service issue! This feedback is due to the buyer's personal schedule caused by the inconvenience of receiving the goods, we are not aware of the situation! I believe this review is unreasonable and the issue is outside of the seller's control, this feedback does not meet Amazon's guidelines for valid feedback. We kindly ask that you remove this feedback from your seller profile!

Thank you for your help!

We're seeking help from any Amazon rep or fellow sellers who’ve experienced this issue.

Our ASIN B0DV4RJBSB is a hydro-jetter hose made of plastic, brass, and steel — standard materials found in dozens of similar, non-hazardous products already sold on Amazon.

However, Amazon’s system has incorrectly flagged this item as a hazardous material, resulting in an alarming and misleading warning on the product detail page:

“Non-returnable. Transportation of this item is subject to hazardous materials regulations.”

This is inaccurate and severely impacts customer confidence and sales.

Even worse, our recent FBA inbound shipments for this ASIN have been repeatedly flagged with “Barcode cannot be scanned” errors — likely because Amazon’s fulfillment centers are expecting Hazmat-specific labeling that isn’t applicable to this item.

We opened Case ID 17220484171 nearly four months ago, but despite multiple follow-ups, we've received no substantive response from Seller Support.

We’re asking:

  1. How can we escalate this to a human hazmat classification specialist for resolution?
  2. Can Amazon remove the incorrect hazmat designation from this ASIN?
  3. Will Amazon refund any FBA-related labeling or rework fees caused by this error?

We’re hoping someone here — whether Amazon staff or an experienced seller — can guide us toward a resolution. Thanks in advance.
