Well then I guess it must be the same for my account and I too just got verified. In fact it was just this morning early that I got the email I was verified. Time to leave Amazon alone for tonight. Tomorrow will be a better day…

Same here 

 

When I click on Account info I get another internal error.  I'm afraid to touch anything in fear of a nuclear explosion.  Probably just need to go to bed and pretend this never happened.

Account Health still shows warning box for Inform Consumer Act but the Account Info page looks normal now.

I saw the info page last night where the drop down list for Country showed every other countries EXCEPT USA.  I should have taken a snapshot.  Imagine all of the conspiracy theories based on Amazon not recognizing US as a country

Just got a proof of insurance requirement from Amazon. I’m curious to know what y’all use for insurance to satisfy amazons requirements. It seems pretty ridiculous to me to have this policy requirement. Does anyone use umbrella policy?

True that.

Your personal umbrella does not cover the liability coverage amazon  needs.

Just call your agent and tell them what you need.  Pretty standard business policy.  Make sure the certificate names Amazon.  I just reviewed for $1250 in CA.

Although the account page now looks normal if you look at the tax section at the bottom of the screen you may see INFORM Tax Interview and clicking on that link brings you right back to the Country Selection menu that does not have the United States as a country.

Snippet taken from a post in the seller forums on amazon

 

"Hi Folks,

We reached out to Seller Support, and were given the following response:

"Please know that Service Owners confirmed that sellers based in the US (US business location) are not required to complete the INFORM Act Tax Questionnaire.

They have identified a technical issue on their end which has resulted in the link being displayed to these sellers and they are working to remove it.

For which we thank you for ignoring the message that is coming to you."

Some of Amazon's language, honestly!

"We thank you for ignoring the message"

🤣🤣🤣

Correct! That choice just disappeared from the Tax information box at the bottom of my account information page. I still have the “account at risk “ banner in the main page and my account health rating is barely above 200 with no issue whatsoever reported in my account health page. My problem is that I never really checked what my account health rating was before yesterday so I don’t know my normal baseline. So annoying.

Account health was set up to help offset defects IE someone saying your item is fake, So the more you sell the higher the score,  in theory you won't get kicked off with 1 complaint so with a score of 200 your at base safe range, 1 A-Z or negative feedback and you will be at risk.

 

We are at 1000 and most of the time have  a active complaint  of a lego  being fake (Of course they are not), So with the score at 1k nothing ever happens

 

Well Walmart don't think its usa only just got this

5 violations of the same type will put your account at risk of suspension regardless of score 

This is all too much fun.  As you can see, they have already "verified successfully".

We have never hit 5 I think most i have seen for suspected fake is 3, They never take the listing down, After 6 months they fall off.

 

Hi all, so is the consensus to just ignore this message for the time being due to glitch.  I completed the reverify earlier this week so not sure what else I'm supposed to do.

Nothing to do. I have checked all day to see if anything new would pop up in the account info page but nothing is there to start any verification process of supposedly pending items ? Just need to wait and see. In the mean time the forum is fun to read. Lots of pissed off sellers.
