I'd like opinions on the Amazon Business Accounts for Lego reselling. Since many of the deals and no-limits buying seems to be coming into the Business Accounts. I assume I wouldn't have any problems getting an account and I've had a reseller certificate for years if I wanted to submit that as an option. Right now, I ship more out of state than in state, so I don't charge in-state customers sales tax since I more than offset all the necessary collected sales taxes with originally paid sales taxes. Even with the offset, I'm leaving money on the table that the state gladly keeps. I haven't ever tried to avoid sales taxes with the retailers in order to stay …

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/first-amazon-suing-companies-sell-192002335.html "The e-commerce giant for the first time has filed lawsuits against counterfeit sellers, after a number of businesses on Amazon voiced concern that knockoffs were killing their sales and endangering consumers." Could eventually help the reseller community by further weeding out the knockoffs. If nothing else, it shows that Amazon is willing to bend to the pressure of sellers if they get hit in great numbers. LEGO putting some pressure would certainly assist in this matter. Not that they may take initiative, but I messaged LEGO pointing to this new development. Maybe if enough of …

Just wondering how many of you are starting to receive Amazon Prime Same Day shipping. I noticed this has become available to me and its been fun ordering before noon and getting my stuff around 6pm or so. A few times it came in handy. I just have no idea how they can afford to do this and pay the extra delivery people. They seem to have created their own "Uber" system of delivery people. The orders are not delivered by USPS or UPS/Fedex. Some info on Same Day Delivery: http://amzn.to/283CRjf

Amazon Prime Membership may increase from $79 to $99-$119 http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/2014/01/30/amazon-raise-prime-price/5063693/

Not to derail further off-topic, but can someone point me in the direction of a thread explaining why pricing errors like this occur on Amazon? Does it have something to do with automatic pricing algorithms used by vendors? If Bob Barker taught me anything, it's that buying something for one dollar is ethical as long as it's close to the actual retail price--without going over.

Starting February 1 amazon.com is charging sales tax on orders. I was charged 4.0% on an order delivered to Boulder. I've read about different rates depending on location. I believe state tax is 2.9%. Anyone else that buys stuff from Amazon in Colorado, I would be interested in hearing the rate you were charged. Also the affiliate program from amazon had not been available to people in Colorado for about 4 years and I believe it is now available.

I have a couple sets that I regretfully have to return to Amazon (not a reseller). A couple SW sets came in with the boxes too crushed for me to accept. Should I specify that "the shipping box wasn't damaged but the items were" or just something vague like "no longer want"? Does it matter? Thanks all. Best Regards.

I did not qualify for the toy selling requirements this past holiday season, however their notice on this subject stated that I would be able to resume selling on January 5. It is now the 7th and all of my items are still showing as "Blocked unless FBA". Is anyone else experiencing this? I sent them an inquiry yesterday but haven't heard a peep.

Amazon's next step in using drone technology for swift delivery of 30 minutes or less as Prime Air is drawing nearer it seems. Well if Jeremy Clarkson is talking about it, it must be good. Just one question, what the heck is "Amazen"?

for me all the lego sets on amazon say for prime members only is anyone else getting that

Good Evening, For those who are experienced in selling on Amazon I have an interesting situation which probably happens daily. A few days ago buyer purchased an item and I shipped the item expeditiously. The item is set to arrive on Monday to the address provided by Amazon. The buyer just contacted me twice in a 30 minute period indicating they provided the wrong address and the item will not be delivered because the address is nonexistent. I attempted to intercept the package (USPS Priority Mail); however, at this point this is not an option. I checked the address which I am sending the item and the new address provided by the buyer. There is no dwelling/build…

I am extremely confused by Amazon transit times. I don't get why there are multiple times for the same service. When I create a listing it lists this: Standard Shipping 4 - 14 business days$5.49 3 - 5 business daysQualified sellers have the option to offer reduced shipping times. Learn more$5.49 Expedited Shipping 2 - 6 business days$8.47 1 - 3 business daysQualified sellers have the option to offer reduced shipping times. Learn more$8.471. Why does standard and expedited both have two different times? 2. Why can't I unselect 4-14? Can I not offer 3-5 only for standard? 3. If I select all 4 what the heck does the buyer see? 4. When I select all four I did a test …

Hi, I am considering selling on Amazon. I have been on eBay for about a year now and i am doing well. With eBay they have a previous sold search function which is great does amazon have anything like that. Or do they have any thing that will tell me that that item is selling for this price. Thanks

Jeff and I have been told about a possible huge sales event Amazon is preparing for on July 15, 2015. We have a friend who works within the Robbinsville, NJ Amazon warehouse and they are ramping up for huge activity. My brother in law (who is a mailman) also let me know that they were told that the USPS was told to be prepared for double the Amazon shipments from July 13-18. A friend wrote me today to confirm our suspicions of a gigantic 20th Anniversary Sale that will discount many "Prime" items 25-50% OFF! While this is only a rumor at this point, it makes a lot of sense since Amazon's first day of business was July 16, 1995. There is too much smoke here for there …

Maybe this will be better suited in the rant section but Amazon feedback frustrates me. I am a new seller on Amazon and I'm finding out the hard way that Amazon is so feedback driven that it hurts new sellers. I'm unable to get into the buy box regardless of the price I set compared to other non-FBA because they have a higher feedback rating. It also seems that it is much harder to get feedback from sellers on Amazon then Ebay. I can only assume that is because everyone on Ebay knows how important it is to themselves and others while they just see Amazon as one entity instead of individual sellers. Just to compare I started selling on Amazon in June and have had 10 sale…

I had someone request a return on amazon.ca and never had this happen before. Do I need to do anything? Do I get dinged for shipping costs back to me?

Months ago someone posted the Utah ebay number which went direct to english speaking folks. It's been a great resource to have. After dealing with the outsourced support at amazon for 2 weeks at various levels, I need help. Does anyone have that secret number they can post or PM?

Hello All, I am new to the forums and new to selling on Amazon (FBA). Im not really a lego investor, but have acquired a few sets over the past few years at clearance prices and now i am looking to sell some on Amazon FBA soon. I did some searching on here, Amazon and in google and i cant really seem to find the answer im looking for. How do you prepare your lego sets for shipments to amazon? from what i read i will have to apply an amazon label, but i obviously don't want to stick this right on the actual lego box. i was thinking of wrapping the box in small bubble wrap and then sticking the amazon label on that? would that work? thanks in advance, Sean

So I ordered some LEGO from Amazon UK and then the item wasn't delivered so I got issued a refund but my refund is for less than I paid due to the GBP fluctuations vs the USD. Does anyone know if this is allowed?

I have had several shipping problems with amazon as of late. Most recently, I received my Ewok Village......shipped in a large plastic envelope for all intents and purposes......NOT in a box. Needles to say thanks to USPS, corners are smashed, looks like it was probably stepped on, has a vague resemblance to a box at this point. This is the first time I've ordered an item like this that was not shipped in it's own box. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues?? Kinda second guessing whether it is worth ordering through them anymore.......

Does anyone have any experience with shipping Polybags to Amazon? I have a few of the polybag sets that I wanted to put up under FBA and wanted to know if shipping those as is was the general consensus, or do most people put those in another clear polybag to protect them? Thanks for the help, Ben
