This Christmas i had an influx of people just slaping the return label directly on the lego box. From about 50 unsellable returns 22 had that "problem"

Same in the US? People just getting more lazy or am missing something?

pretty sure its Amazon's instructions.  It's common for a lot of returns.  Last order of speed champions that I ordered from "Amazon" came in three separate shipments with shipping labels just slapped on the boxes.

This is the stupidest thing.  Amazon has all this information.  Is this their way of possibly getting off the hook when sellers don’t respond?

Has anyone ever got this? So happens its from a purchase that I have no invoice for.  It looks like I can still sell that item. Should I be recalling inventory from this set or lowering the price to sell out?

We received a complaint from a buyer about the authenticity of a product they ordered from you, which is listed at the end of this email. Your listings are still active.

Why did I receive this message?

In account health when you click on that warning does it say no impact?

Seemed like most were reinstated after the holidays.  Pretty sure someone posted the email.

I am still not reinstated.

I wondered, I didn’t recall more than one posting.

Nope. Still waiting on some removal orders to arrive, too. 75% are pancakes. Wonderful parting gift to have most of the stock I paid to send in get destroyed by them in the return process.

yes, it says no impact. That's reassuring. Appears to have been triggered by a feedback from someone that said, do not buy, fake.

Amazon seems to attract more than the usual amount of horrible customers.  And they are less than useless when it comes to helping the seller.  It's like working for a robot.

Funny situation. FBA shipment was never sent out by 3P. The shipment closed today with 0 units expected (of course, since its still in warehouse). At this point should I send them in using the same Labels, or better to writeoff the shipping as a loss and create a new shipment. My concern is since it is "closed", by sending it in, it will get lost.

never do anything that complicates your life when dealing with amazon. Just start a new one is my vote

Is it worth the hassle to sell in other countries. 

Because I am cautious I only sell in USA marketplace but Amazon sent me an email today inviting me to reigster for europe

There's this estimates sales amount that kinds looks tempting. I wonder if most ppl sell in other marketplaces as well.

I sell EU wide, shipping costs are higher depending on the country it goes to, the bigger problem are the taxes, when a customer returns an Item, it gets stocked in the warehouse of the buyer and if its sellable sold from this country to the next buyer in this country.

The problem with that is, that you have to pay the VAT directly to the foreign tax authority compared when amz sends it from your warehouse in your country to a foreign buyer, then you can pay all the different VAT-amounts at your German tsx authority.

Of course I dont know how they would handle it with you us guys, but returns and shipping costs could be a pain for you.

Btw I got the same e-mail for USA/UAE with weird estimates, so I dont think its really accurate.
