Make sure to give them 5 star feedback when they help you out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asharerin Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 1 hour ago, 33Lego said: When would sales normally pick up? First week of Dec? Alot more advertising inventory on Amazon, no more google shopping adds or links, and alot more resellers, means less traffic and alot more competition for that reduced traffic on Amazon this year. Having said that sales should have been gathering steam since the beginning of the month. However lots of sellers are reporting dead and slow sales. If you are witnessing slowish sales make sure you are priced to win or share the buy box, run PPC, and also consider running your own external adds pointing to your Amazon storefront. The days of listing something thinking it will sell just because it is on Amazon are long gone. The Amazon marketplace is now mature and saturated and shoppers are alot more savvy which means they have been buying the same sales you have on walmart and target. Competition for the smaller pool of desperate shoppers who procrastinated is going to be fierce. Adapt and take advantage of the cheap keywords on the Amazon platform while you still can because they are only going to get more expensive every month. The big boys are moving all of their advertising budget from facebook and google to Amazon. I have seen some pages where 60% of real estate is now headline adds, side and bottom rails, and sponsored adds sprinkled every 2-3 listings in the middle. All of those adds are competing to redirect your items customers to purchase your competitions items. Add revenue will eventually dwarf selling commissions on Amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil B Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Looking for advice on 2 returns: 1. Received an FBA return notification today with Reason "Order not received", and they reimbursed the buyer from my account. Will this correct itself, or do I need to open a case to get reimbursed myself by Amazon? 2. Had a return on 11/6 with refund reason "General Adjustment", and again money got taken from my account. What do I do here? I also cannot find a page where I can track the return status of Amazon Fulfilled orders. I always have to wait, hope and pray to see if the item comes back in my inventory, or whether it shows up in Stranded/Unfulfillable. Does anyone know where a "personal" seller such as me can find better status information on returns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For INR and general adjustment I’ve found that in most cases that items are not returned and you will be reimbursed within 45 Days. you can track return for the fba return tab and it sometimes gives more detailed infinity and customer comments. i use an excel sheet to track all returns 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The $9 shows up under "Other". What's going on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not uncommon to see refunds for 5 or 6 times an items price if the customer complains hard enough. Say a customer moans that they had to go buy a replacement from somewhere else because Amazon screwed up that cost them alot more and time and gas. Amazon will pay them off to keep them happy and buying from Amazon. It is a good idea to comb through everything at the end of each quarter to make sure Amazon has reimbursed you everything they owe. You will be surprised how many reimbursements "slip" through the cracks. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micbelt Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 People that come into a listing at prices significantly below the buybox are really starting to annoy me. I mean, learn how to price or get off the platform. Ridiculous to be undercutting so much right now when stuff is selling. Rant over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually people that set it to the buy box price when they ship it and don't realize how much the price will rise this time or year. Or they don't bump the price up on inactive stuff. If someone cancels an order or it gets refunded, it will go back to the price you last sold it at if you don't have a system to avoid that. I'm selling stuff for $10 or $15 more now than I was just on Thanksgiving so things can change that quickly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micbelt Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 No excuse, when you ship in to fba, have your prices above the buybox and adjust down if need be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
33Lego Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I just got one of my listing removed since a buyer complaints "used sold as new" Not sure if this is a real buyer or a potential competitor of the listing. Want to see if you guys saw this happen before and how to resolve the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
