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.  

It looks fine to me:

There is an AWS outage this morning causing problems with a lot of sites

@Bold-Arrow

Worse.  After I hit the purchase button, It moved my item to shipped section but without any tracking #

sorry :(.. i got that just now with another order. ( figured it might have been once order with an issue , now 2 .. lol ) 

Thanks for the heads up at least. I have quite a few FBM orders to ship today, so I'll hold off until it's been restored.

This is dangerous.  We become more & more dependent on AWS, when it breaks everything stops.  Talking about internet in general, not just FBM/FBA

Best comment on the seller forums.  I would have  had I not have a $120 item stuck in shipped section limbo

I'm not getting any new orders either, hopefully they are queuing somewhere

Someone on that thread mentioned they could not access amazon.com website.  I did not have a problem with it and actually put an order in.  We shall see if Amazon can ship that order.

I see that order back to my "Unshipped" section.  Who is brave enough to try purchasing postage from Amazon ?

@BrickLegacy?

Having problems as well.  Keep getting this message when trying to purchase shipping:

Error occurred while purchasing a label, please try with different ship method

One one order the listing suddenly showed up as shipped and I could reprint the label (although it selected higher shipping option)

One another order it just moved the order to "shipped" without a label being created.

So frustrating . . .

I am having trouble doing any searches on Amazon.com....errors and blank screens all over

I checked my Orders page and that order never happened, even though I got the confirmation screen when I placed the order.  My cc was not charged either.

So yay for system issues during busiest time of the year !!

One more issue, when changing prices, there is a chance system does not take the new price after 15 minutes.  I changed price on 2 ASINs and clicked Save All. 30 minutes later 1 changed to new price the other did not.

I just printed a successful label.....maybe coming back?!

The widgets on SellerCentral are starting to come back. I am still waiting a few hours before purchasing my postages though

I am able to ship, but the 2 that are stuck in limbo are still, well, in limbo 

I can't login, not getting my OTP notifications.

It’s a massive AWS issue impacting systems outside of Amazon’s marketplace. My institution runs on an AWS hosted system and it too is down.
