I replied multiple times with the attachments again, since they can only receive 6 attachments per reply in Seller Central. Hopefully they look at the attachments this time. Go into Seller Central and view your attachments and verify they are correct. You submitted the certifications through Seller Central? The directions gave a separate email address to send them to.

Darth_Raichu Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I did not get any response from Amzn after sending them the requested documentations. This AM I got another generic holiday reminder email, even though I already got an email clearing me to sell during holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrakai Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 2 hours ago, LegoBro said: So no listed specific ASINs from before. Now it just says ALL toys? Plus is that not the same paperwork sent before? Seems it was auto generated once they looked at your email from before. I got the same thing. Something tells me the other documentation we sent in wasn't even looked at. As there is no message here stating those forms were not acceptable. Just guessing here. The "fulfillment by Amazon required" message is related to the Holiday toy selling restrictions. If you didn't sell 25 merchant fulfilled orders during the qualifying period (it ended October 1) then you can only use FBA for toys for the rest of the year. The e-mails with ASINs listed asking for safety documents are different and have nothing to do with the holiday restrictions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I previously got an email saying I can't FBM toys, and then this morning just got a generic reminder with no yes/no. And of course Amazon lets me list toys FBM, so.....as usual, go home Amazon, you're drunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zskid00 Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 For those of you with a professional seller account on Amazon, is it worth it? About how long does the application process take and what sort of documentation, if any, do they ask for? Also, is this something you can opt out of if you decide it isn't worth it in a couple months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely saves if you do some volume and sell more than 40 items a month, since it saves you the $0.99 listing fee per item that you are charged with a non-Professional Account. There are some seller interface advantages and dashboards that can come in handy. I don't think it took much time at all to sign-up and be approved. It's easy to revert back by clicking on a button in your account settings and answering a couple questions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides what @Bold-Arrow and @exciter mentioned, I am fairly confident that Amazon begins to give you more opportunities as a seller once you switch to a professional seller plan. I started getting a lot more leniency selling a variety of products once i switched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 At one point a professional seller account was required to collect sales tax. I'm not sure if that is still the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is a risk that one may not pass the additional review by Amazon during the account "upgrade" process. I heard that Amazon is asking for documentations and who know what/how/when/why would satisfy Amazon? Just my 2 cents. (Therefore, I am staying as a individual account, especially during this close to Q4) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there were some other states that Amazon was collecting sales tax for through the facilitator on FBA orders even with an individual seller account, but it was just a pass-through.

Amazon automatically collects taxes for WA, PA, UT and i believe one more state. Those cant be disabled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. I just wanted to make sure Amazon wasn't going to force me to collect sales tax on those orders as a professional seller and not handle the reporting side to get that money back to the state.
