I'm not sure why some people are being restricted on stuff like the Harry Potter sets and some of us are still fine on them. Thanks for the tip! I was able to get auto approved as well. I had picked up a few at my local B & N, but I had planned on the eBay route until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m small scale and in polite Canada but have had to eat a few bogus losses this year. Still worth it though unless I get turned off.

DadsAFOL Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/09/tech/amazon-sellers-marketplace/index.html Not to throw shade at baby-formula-momma but I’ve never heard of a “proprietary” ban. Amazon may be ruthless but when it comes to metrics, they measure everything. I’m sure she knows what really tripped her ban. But the article’s point is really really important here... apparently you can buy insurance for getting kicked off Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenxxx Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Also rejected today, despite meeting all requirements and perfect metrics. Got Amazon help on phone and opened a case. Was told not to worry and all will be Ok... got a case number... but I know all that means nothing til the great computer switches you from a zero to a one. I shipped plenty fba, but only a few items fbm. Anybody get rejected that DID fbm 25+ orders? Edited October 10, 2018 by Kenxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickology101 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 No email this morning. I only received one email in August telling me that I meet the holiday selling guidelines and to continue the good job, so to speak. Anyway, I only sell FBA so probably not a concern for me.

Phil B Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Of course I didn't get anything. Will have to open a case. *sigh*Regarding open cases: my case to get 75153 reactivated in search is still open (opened one month ago). Keep getting messages that they are working it with the technical team. Can anyone here see the main 75153 listing via search (either searching for "LEGO 75153" or "LEGO AT-ST")? Has anyone sold any 75153 in the last 30 days?Wondering if this is a localized issue or across platform.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not through amazon,. if you search via google you get to the listing. Just make sure to tell all your customers to search amazon using google. 75149 also had this problem but was recently remedied. Has anyone sold any 75153 in the last 30 days? Yes - only 1 and i'm competitive on price. slow mover due to above problem. no alt listing that comes up either so this set is hosed until the problem is resolved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Yeah, 76054 also had the problem and got resolved, so I am hoping 75153 will get resolved soon. I have a feeling this Christmas is a good time to start offloading them, but that won't happen with a broken listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory730 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I have sold 25+ and got rejected today. Opened a case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zak001 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I have perfect metrics but fewer than 25 FBM orders (hundreds of FBA orders). Got a rejection notice today. Opened a case. I originally got a notification telling me I was fine, subsequently got one telling me that I was not so fine despite no change in metrics etc. Amazon gonna Amazon.

Also, do you assign which product is Prime or all your inventory becomes Prime once you sign up. More importantly, do you get the same chance for BuyBox as others' FBA items ?

I use it for items with high margins to cover shipping costs . You assign each item individually based on shipping template . You can limit the regions you ship to in order to minimize shipping cost but your exposure will be limited . yes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asharerin Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 5 hours ago, Darth_Raichu said: Anyone doing Seller Fulfilled Prime? How is your experience? I love it for items that can go first class mail. Change cutoff time to 11am and you are good to go SFP wed-sat using first class mail. SFP is not coded as prime so repricers that are set to match fba won’t react to it. SFP is treated as prime to win the buy box tho so you can really dominate most sellers who just set their repricer and walk away. Be aware first class mail is changing to zone pricing next year so this strategy will not be quite as profitable then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
