Amazon just lost an FBA shipment of 6 Harley Davidsons. My proof of ownership would be a european invoice not in english (but address, quantity, and item # are all in english). I can submit that, or alternatively,  they sent me an email which is basically a receipt that hotmail auto translates to english which I can save as a jpeg. Just not sure option #2 wont look a bit skechy. Last thing I need is accusation of fraud...

Good luck.

Let us know how it goes.

I went with option #1. 

Interestingly, it was a box of 6 and they found 0.

In my case they were receiving them as labeling was required. I kept seeing the numbers go up 1 a day. After day 7 it went from 7 to 0 and closed with zero.

Had an FBA return that was listed as unsellable b/c of “customer damage” [emoji19] and had the unit pulled and sent back to see this. Did anyone have luck getting reimbursed for Amazon playing Edward scissor hands with a unit.

Amazon customer service this year must have a quota to deny at least 97% of claims.

go on twitter and post to @AmazonHelp, attach image, This issue has become such a major problem, they refuse to pay. They need kohls to bag the stuff or use removable labels.

I somewhat suspect that this is something that they will intentionally not do something to fix.  As long as they are able to deny reimbursement for the damage caused by the ridiculous stickering, I suspect that this acts as something of a filter for sellers on the platform to weed out sellers who focus on pushing volume and ignore the losses they suffer on the margins as a result of things like this from the sellers who get bothered by things like this enough to complain about it.  If they're as focused on cutting costs as it sounds like they are, I imagine one strategy to do so would be to make the platform as unattractive as possible to sellers that are higher cost to them than others and I suspect that sellers who get bent out of shape over things like this tend to be higher cost than others who just swallow it as the cost of doing business on the platform.  All just speculation, though.

I tried a lot last year. No luck

Move on

What are the chances Amazon cuts inventory storage again tomorrow?

Amazon didn't find 1x Minecraft 21163 in my last FBA shipment but I definitely sent it in. I even have a photo of the open package containing the set just before shipping.

My proof of ownership would be an invoice by Amazon Spain (I'm located and selling in Germany). Can I safely provide that invoice or is it against any rules or guidelines to sell items bought from Amazon?

2 or 3 times i sent 2 items and they didn't find it so Amazon personal marked it as zero so they got empty box? lol

Amazon checked in two boxes with a total of 50 units. They counted one box correctly with 26 units but missed the entire box of 24 units and somehow added those units to the first box, saying they got all 50 units in the 26 unit box and zero units in the second box! My inventory is correct (I think) but do I open a case a reconcile?

its against terms of prime to sell items bought with prime shipping speed. FYI

I'm with Bricklectic...if you're not out anything, this is definitely a "let sleeping dogs lie" situation.

Yup, let it go!

Thanks for your replies. I'm located in Germany and I ordered the 21163s from Amazon Spain without Prime. I was billed by Amazon Germany though.

So I guess it's a bit risky to provide that invoice as proof of ownership?

Amazon outbound shipping is majorly backed up. I'm concerned that items aren't going to arrive within the promised delivery timeline and I'm going to have to deal with refunds due to it.

New issue. Amazon lost and reimbursed me for 11 units earlier and now those units have showed up. 4 units were reversed reimbursed, which makes sense, but not the other 7 units. Now those units have sold, and four of them are listed as being cancelled and when I look in my inventory they aren't there. They also aren't listed in my event detail page. They're just gone. I'm guessing Amazon used those to fulfill their own orders, since they've paid me for them but there's nothing informing me of this.
