Can anyone share with me their experiences with selling on Amazon.   I sold some stuff years ago and am now thinking of listing some items on there again.  I know their policies and prices have changed.  I am getting tired of the ebay fees and more the people purchasing on there trying to scam.  I am wondering if it makes sense to sell and ship self, or if there is a way to send them all items and fulfill for you.  What are the cost benefits or lack off from either way.  

 

 

Thanks for any information or experiences.  

Woke up to a children's toys compliance requirement for SW MF 75257. (Children's Toys: Food and Product Safety Issues)

The list of company's amazon has provided for me to procure the compliance documents are all from China. 

What a wonderful day.

Wonder why amazon brings up stuff like this just before the holidays.

I got one for 3 in 1 castle. If this is all then I dont care. I assume its gonna come in waves, like the last ASIN creation violation. Lets see how it all shakes out.

Same. Also for Madrigal House a couple days ago which I accept full responsibility because that was a terrible investment on my part and I deserve to lose money. But not the MF 😐

Yep, others have asked the same question on other forums.

BTW, FBA sellers still have to pay Amazon to return/remove their FBA inventory if they fail this, even though Amazon requested compliance documentation this close to the holidays.

One of the reasons I never decided to do FBA.  I don't trust them in any way to take care of me or my stuff any better then WET/ReVend did🤬

Received one for LEGO Marvel Nano Gauntlet, Iron Man Model with Infinity Stones, 76223

Package clearly shows age 18+

Sent them an appeal with the age 18+ and got rejected. (Probably a bot rejection)

Not sure why I assumed this was only for toys for ages 12 and below.

Curious how Amazon chooses who gets these restrictions and who doesn’t.

It doesn't matter right if they are going to remove the ASIN from their website??

I deleted 200 listing that were inactive. Interestingly, the ones that had those ASIN violations (gwps etc) had the related violations fall off. But the new safety violation stayed despite the deletion of the listing.

There is a webinar about this new toy requirement that starts in about 5 hours (5:30 AM ET 9/26) 🤣

Perfect for China, Amazon is so considerate.

4 Attendees: Jajafook, Blululublokblok, Seller_LImVvUWeyiCfQ and Shengzijuansuchbestproduct

Did anyone attend it or watch it? I signed up for it and then saw the 530AM and laughed. What time zone was this for?

It started at 5:30 PM Beijing time, just the perfect time for Amazon's favorite sellers to join in and watch

FTC Secures Historic $2.5 Billion Settlement Against Amazon

Agency alleged that Amazon used deceptive methods to sign up consumers for Prime subscriptions and made it exceedingly difficult to cancel

Pretty sure Papa Bezos and Bot Commander Jassy are going to pass these costs to somebody else

LOL. They also have an event coming up for resellers.

I thought amazon doesn't need resellers anymore.

Just the ones based on US.  Everyone else is fair game. 

That event would be at 1 AM Beijing time.  How inconsiderate.  tsk tsk tsk  

All those webinars are based on getting more sellers from China, 

anyone else get this? Im currently at 2 week disbursements with no reserve so I guess this is a downgrade.

Yes . Fcked by Amazon

The "in line with your feedback" implied some bad conduct on my part. Typical Amazon BS.

Got this too, no reserve to "DD+7" so you have to wait 7 days after the order has been delivered and evaluated by buyer......&^%^

See, this is why Herr CEO Jassy does not want you US sellers.  You keep adding these unfounded conspiracy theories.  Herr CEO said you wanted these treatments, so bend over like usual.   Also, stop piling more and more complaints.  You know who will not complain ?  Overseas sellers.....

Also, they would not mind this kind of math either:

Quote

For example, if you sell a product on January 1 and it’s delivered on January 3, then under the DD+7 policy, your funds for that order will become available for disbursement on January 11. 

+7, +8.. potato, potato

In all seriousness, 2 business days (+weekend) to come up with a workaround to negate the $2.5 billion fine had to be some kind of record for a company the size of Amazon.  Those sweet sweet interests, baby!!! 

I would not be surprised to see more "workarounds"

 

All my units just got stranded. Tring to see why. I just noticed this item in unreturnable?

Hazardous item?
