Mark Twain Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 While I’m sure seller central will come back online at some point, can you imagine what it’s like in the warehouses right now since their fulfillment software went down as well? I can’t imagine how they’re going to be able to manage to make up this amount of lost time during peak holiday buying.

Sounds like a perfectly calculated drop off. Fee's start occurring now during peak prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waxwing Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I sold a Pet Store for over $400 with loads of sellers ahead of me in the price line, and it wasn't in the buy box. That seems weird. Anyone know why people pay way more sometimes? Hoping to avoid shipping this to a scammer or get a return on a huge shipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait till the end of the day to ship, give him time to cancel if he drunk bought it or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh. Good call. I have to ship it to TX from VT, better get it out. It'd be cool if they could optimize sellers that are closer to your locality. I'd be happy to give a discount to "locals" rather than shipping across country all the time. Anywho. Thanks for the detective work! Good luck this season.

zskid00 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 (edited) UPS still isn't getting signatures despite collecting a hefty fee from their customers for this "service" and I don't think Fedex has been doing this with any consistency. The Post Office might hold your package but who wants to wait in line to collect a parcel this time of year? That could be a potentially frustrating experience for the customer or just lead to a bunch of items returned to sender after the holidays.

FedEx didn't even try to get a signature for a wine delivery last week for me. It was an "Adult Signature Required" shipment. Laughably, their website says that they will introduce ID scanning for such shipments in 2022 (Amazon Fresh has done this before, in my experience).

joch29 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I guess YMMV . My Fedex driver use to just need to see me and would sign off. Now he has me signing on the e-pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold-Arrow Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 It is great to see that Amazon is finally flagging "high risk" buyers, and hopefully that will lead to a perm ban for said scammers. I said this before, but I would highly encourage reporting suspected scammers to Amazon and it takes a min . I have this link bookmarked : https://sellercentral.amazon.com/abuse-submission/index.html Just don't abuse it to report orders that come back damaged or whatnot. I usually report it when someone return wrong set, have expensive elements removed, that kind of thing; otherwise the reporting will soon become worthless. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezos isn't a villain, its all the lazy people using its system to get products. Most of my friends think Bezos is the worst baddie in existence however they all purchase things from Amazon soooo 🙈 Just now, Bricklectic said: Finally upgraded from individual to professional after being scared of for over a year now.

It should have a number of units. I got rekt by it this year. Hadn't sold most of the year only to find out a week before hand my limit was 1/5th what i needed 😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
