No More Monkeys Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) nice NMM.. now raise prices and get out of the way for other sellers sake I delisted cheap polys completely. Amazon fees for sub-$7 toy items are brutal... Edited September 17, 2014 by No More Monkeys Quote
matt1147 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Finished up my 25 sold listings requirement this weekend and added +1 for good measure! First time I will be selling on Amazon this holiday season. Quote
trekgate502 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Finished up my 25 sold listings requirement this weekend and added +1 for good measure! First time I will be selling on Amazon this holiday season. Hey congrats I didn't want to mess with it this year but think I will pursue next year. That's a good feeling and accomplishment to have.

No More Monkeys Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 So, if anyone was observing last year... what was the approximate percentage of sellers that did not make it into Holiday Season selling on Amazon? I.e., say, given some lego sets that were in production vs retired sets - was a drop in number of sellers past Nov 18 significant? Quote
SpaceFan9 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 So, if anyone was observing last year... what was the approximate percentage of sellers that did not make it into Holiday Season selling on Amazon? I.e., say, given some lego sets that were in production vs retired sets - was a drop in number of sellers past Nov 18 significant? Just a guess, but I think its around 30%. Prices jump up significantly past Nov 18, both from increased demand and a reduced number of sellers Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Questions for the Amazon 3PS: Say you were selling 79015 on Amzn under what you thought was the correct listing. Amazon put the wrong title on the listing (say 79017 instead). Customers ordered the set from your Amzn store and complained when they got 79015. If they opened the AtoZ claim, would you still get dinged ? Also, would you still need to eat the cost of return even though this was Amzn's fault ? Edited October 27, 2014 by Darth_Raichu Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted October 27, 2014 Posted October 27, 2014 I don't usually self fulfill on Amazon , but my understanding is the once an AZ claim is opened you take a ding on your metrics even if Amazon rules in your favor. Quote
holleman67 Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Is anyone else counting down to 11/18? I can't wait to see the number of sellers decrease on Amazon. Makes way for reseller scum like me! Quote
redcell Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Is anyone else counting down to 11/18? I can't wait to see the number of sellers decrease on Amazon. Makes way for reseller scum like me! Personally, I don't think that the drop off in sellers after 11/18 makes much difference because that group will not include any of the folks who you'll really be competing with for sales (at least for most items). Prices won't rise until the larger resellers who are currently competing for sales finish selling through their current inventory. This is one reason that reselling on Amazon in particular is becoming more and more difficult...each year, the larger resellers are working with an ever growing base of capital that is used to buy sets in ever larger quantities. Unless you're willing to undercut their prices, you have to sit patiently until all of that inventory is sold before you can start selling off your inventory. 2 Quote

There are sellers with insane quantities of 6866 Wolverine, 9448 samurai mech, and 6864 two face just to name 3 sets. Quote

redcell Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 It will be interesting to see how things go this year. I have been surprised about how many sellers and how much product are rushing in right before the holidays. Quote

speedpro50 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I awoke this morning to all of my product listings on Amazon.com (all Lego) showing "Blocked Unless FBA". I believe this is because I am relatively new to selling on Amazon, but am unsure why they would do this on items already listed. does anyone have any experience with this? Or feedback? Quote
mattgang Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 They did that to me as well. There are a bunch of criteria that you have to meet in order to sell during the holidays. I didn't have the required amount of sales in a certain time frame. You can find all of this and what you've personally failed to do in your seller account. Bunch of BS in my opinion. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Here is the thread you are looking for. To be fair, they have been sending out warnings since August. http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/11238-holiday-selling-in-toys-games-on-amazon/ 2 Quote
