I glanced through the prior topics, but didn't see anything specific to Amazon FBA (Fullfillment By Amazon).  If there was and I missed it, I apologize.

 

I'm looking to sell some Lego sets using the Amazon FBA service and was wondering if anybody has had any experience good or bad selling through FBA.  My concerns are that I have to put an FBA label over the barcode on the box.  Not sure how a collector would feel about having to remove it and potentially damage the box. 

 

Also, a little concerned that the boxes that I send which are in mint condition, may not be received by the customer in mint condition, if you know what I mean.  Just checking to see what others have experienced.  

 

If anybody has any experience buying through an FBA seller, I would appreciate any comments on the buying side too.

 

Thanks!

Up to 9 requests today. When I go to click on them I can only access one. What's up with this? 

 

I supposedly have 28 but when I click on the link I can’t see any of them.

I'm having this problem now as well. Current count is 442 now too.

Does Amazon accept the CPC form by Lego ?

You have to have the underlying testing reports too and Lego does not make those available to the general public.

Ok same as past years but then somehow we can still sell these Legos on Amazon. I don’t recall this toy safety documentation kicking any of us out of selling on Amazon. Somehow it always works itself out. No ?

It always seems to work itself out until it doesn't....

I had pages full of request this afternoon, but tonight 90% were gone.  Based on what happened last month, I am waiting for Amazon to sort things out on their end before doing anything

@redcell Looks like they sent the requests to multiple sellers as I have 1 for MBoM too.

Anyone else got a CPC request for MBoM ???

I got one for Razor’s Crest

Me too

Amazon, you’ve lost your friggin marbles.

That's like when I had Star Wars sets removed because they had lasers in them.

Got the same.  This email summarizes Amazon FBA in a nutshell.  Numerous cases opened by numerous sellers and the listing is STILL removed because we all violated Amazon's policy by not providing the correct Personal Flotation Devices documents for this LEGO set.  It blows my mind that there isn't a single human being at Amazon that could resolve this issue.

There are people at Amazon who could easily resolve this issue...the difficult thing is getting to them.

This. Mega corporations become so siloed and bureaucratic that insane crap like this becomes common place. I know because I work for one such place. 

And like that the documentation requests have dropped from 9 to 2 for me and I can still only access one--MBoM. Looks like somebody had to clean up a bot's mess.

I just checked. I went from ~450 yesterday...

...to 7.

And, strangely, only 4 of which are visible. 10655, 79008, 41485, 70788.

Wild ride.

The count goes up and down and up and down.  Amzn need to fix the bots before using them

From 31 down to 3. I used to have the Tantive VI 75244 but that one is gone now but I have the Ginger Bread house 10267. The other two are 70830 and 40411 which I no longer have any left to sell so I don’t care. But the Ginger Bread house. Really ? So if I don’t provide the documents, which I won’t, they are going to close that listing. That’s going to piss a lot of people off.

I received 5 more this afternoon.

It is going to piss off Amazon Sales Department the next time they get a restock. 

Reason #2 this whole thing is BS.  If Amazon is so concerned about safety they should have contacted LEGO themselves and asked for all pertinent documents.  Pretty sure LEGO is more than happy to provide these for their biggest customer

just a little pricing service announcement - paging amazon seller @toyburg - not sure if you meant to intentionally lowball the trex dino mech listing by $50 @ $179 , but you are major lowballing here -.  not sure why you wouldn't want $50 more.  i can assure you they sell many per day at $225-230.  that's all.

Rip em a new one. I always do. No one of significance ever reads it. It is cathartic in a way.

I'm afraid to leave any comment or feedback at all. I don't even want them to know I exist.
