Anyone concerned country of origin will trigger deactivation in those countries which will trigger USA deactivation?

The beauty of 95% of your remaining inventory (I sent in around October) being in some sort of FC Status. Lets Pray.

It’ll be ready just in time for January gift card season!

Lol Amazon would rather give BB to FBA listing that arrives after Christmas.  Who the hell programmed their algorithm ??

anyone ever notice their 2 week payment cycle delayed before? I hope it's just a glitch. CSR says it was initiated. I don't think I've seen this issue before.

No I haven't, but they're moving to deferred payments from reserve amounts. Maybe that's what you're seeing?

Thanks for the reply. After chatting with csr, account appears to have been updated to show initiation of payment.  Usually for me this occurs at around 1 pm every 2 wks. So, no idea what happened. Just another thing with Amazon...

I had a period earlier this year of about a month where all sales went to account level reserve and I got no payouts. Never got any notice from Amazon about it, no one at A S S could or would tell me anything about it, then one day it just went back to normal. I can only assume they were investigating something and I guess I passed.

You can run reports for deferred transactions that show when $ will be released.  Some of my transactions are 4+ weeks out.  Nothing inside 7 days for me.

Have you all ever had a buyer order and then cancel repeatedly? Within the past 48 hours, a buyer (presumably the same buyer) has ordered and canceled the same items about 15 times. These are fulfilled by merchant orders on Amazon. Very unusual activity.

For some of the orders, it looks like the payment isn't ever going through. But for other orders, the payment is presumably going through (but I never get notified), and then Amazon is canceling the order and sending me an email that says, "Greetings from Amazon. We have cancelled your order as per customer’s request."

not that many times. Sometimes I notice a repeat customer only to find out they cancelled the first order and reordered again. But, I do get repeat customers sometimes too.

Since the hard gate came down, only one of my pending orders has gone through. The rest have been canceled. We're talking about dozens of orders now.

Interesting. All of my pending orders went through except one was cancelled and one is still pending. 

So the email announcing the loss of selling privileges included this: "If you would like to have this inventory removed to you, Amazon will cover the cost of the inventory removal." 

I started the removal process over the weekend, and I'm excited to announce that I just got my first Removal Fee...

In a surprising (b/c its Amazon) turn of events, I filed a case and already had the fee reimbursed. Hopefully I don't have to do this for each item removed, but at least they were able to recognize their own policy.
