Amazon replied

Hello, selling partners!

Why do some sellers get free removals but not others?
by Seller_wWgO6VOBqqhF8

Hello Amazon support

On November 1st we saw the brand Converse go full restricted so that Amazon can sell the brand entirely themselves "for the good of the customer" at higher prices.

Anyways, some of my colleagues shared with me that directly after Nov 1st, they received emails stating that they are getting free removals for all of their Converse FBA inventory. I will attach the screenshot here.

However, I did not receive this email and upon confirming, I do not have any free removal offers for my Converse FBA inventory on my account.

What gives? Why do some receive the offer and others do not - I don't think this is very fair.

UPS dumping US-bound packages amid China tariff amid shutdown woes HEADS UP!
by Seller_ONDn9UyWE3G3e

As the title states...UPS (and others) are facing hurdles again, after President Trump raised tariffs on China to 100%. This after China sent letters to multiple western nations, trying to further leverage their 90% world market share on Rare Earth materials. UPS may even be disposing of some shipments that can't clear customs!

Action---> meet Reaction. Now it is supposed to take effect Nov1st, but the financial markets already dropped 2-3% already and several carriers are saying this is going to be a real fun holiday shipping season.

Prepare accordingly by NOT having all your eggs in one basket and that includes seller platforms and sourcing!

Amazon Threw Away Our Inventory!
by Seller_3hkpzGoXWQX8K
Amazon replied

No correspondence. No warning. Our inventory was "moving" between warehouses supposedly. Now it is marked as disposed of. Our setting were set to return inventory to us. They are trying to pass off reimbursement of pennies on the dollar as "policy." Absolutely absurd and unprofessional. We are an extremely small business and this may be straw that puts us out of business. $700 reimbursment for nearly $3k of inventory is criminal. Would NEVER recommend selling on this platform and will forcefully recap this story to anyone who will listen for as long as I am able.

Business Dead
by Seller_iu1nTPby1L4jy

Since last week we have had 2 orders! Our usual number of sales is 10-12. We've had one sale on one of our sites and that's all. We sell on 4 sites. Just curious if anyone has had bad business like this for the last week. We saw this same pattern when tariffs were announced in March or April, even though we sell used books. We thought people were scared to buy books instead of groceries. Don't know the answer, but I know when yoyo tariffs (when he changed his mind every 5 min.) began business picked up a little. Maybe it is the August 1st deadline for tariffs to begin again, no matter what! Just curious about other sellers.

Inventory Stuck in Supplemental Fulfillment Center for Over a Month (Case Pending Escalation)
by Seller_QGR2CcxLx8zGV

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone can help or escalate. My inventory has been stuck in a Supplemental Fulfillment Center since early October. Seller Support has repeatedly told me they submitted a transfer request, but nothing has changed after more than a month.

My case has been open since early October and keeps getting the same scripted response about “8–10 days.” I’m now well past that window with no updates.

This issue is causing extended delays, storage fees, and preventing me from selling or removing the units.

Can a forum moderator escalate this to the FBA operations team?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

1lb Item charged $938.64 for Removal
by Seller_lNfAA4yHLpJoF
Amazon replied

Hi, I'm hoping a Mod can help me here. I did a removal order for 26 items and one was charge $938.64 for a Vinyl LP that weighs less than 1 lb. The listed weight on the disposal order was 882 lbs. Its an obvious error than should be fixed with one look at the detail page. However, since there are no current copies at FBA they have "no scannable inventory" to verify weight and dimensions. Seller support is giving me the runaround and keeps telling me they will call back and don't. Now they are not answering follow ups to the support ticket. # 18620956311

Can any of the mods help me get to someone who can help me with this so it can be resolved? Thanks
