Bricklectic Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Is making a new Lego Listing (for a retired set not in the catalog) a) difficult and much more importantly b) Risky? I'm asking about risk because I listed a Xmas tree (2018 GWP) on the listing and received a suspected IP strike on my account 3 (!) years later. I had only sold one. So I am thinking that maybe creating extra listings is risky? Or was there something specific to that set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing that'll probably happen is request for compliance documents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmpirate Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 At what price level are you guys setting for "signature required" for FBM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get the shipping label through Amazon Buy Shipping just incase of INR. It depends on the location and sometimes Amazon will recommend the signature confirmation. I ask for signature on the items that are $1000 or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned above, my threshold for signature confirmation is much lower than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the point in purchasing signature confirmation when getting the shipping label through Amazon Buy Shipping. If the order was scanned on or before the required shipping date, you are protected. BTW, EBAY POLICY: If the order has a total cost (including shipping costs and any taxes) of $750 or more, you're required to purchase signature confirmation to be protected if a buyer reports an item not received or opens a payment dispute. If you are shipping internationally, see the signature confirmation thresholds table below to see if signature confirmation is required for the shipment.

brickvoyeur Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I only purchase signature confirmation when Amazon tells me to. That's their way of saying "this person is a frequent scammer". Amazon has always taken care of issues as long as you buy the label through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bold-Arrow Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I look at signature as an added insurance for chargeback claims more than AZ guarantee ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Helmet Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I had a pretty good December and got the required to provide proof of commercial liability insurance. I'm a small fish and clearly this is the first time I hit $10,000 in gross sales in a month since 2021. Is this something I should just have for my protection and is the cost of doing business on Amazon or what are my options? Can I just purchase for one/six months and submit to Amazon and then cancel after approval? Thanks in advance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance The requirement has nothing to do with your sales, you are obligated to purchase one per your contract with amazon but am increase in sale will trigger a “reminder” . it is relatively cheaper and Amazon offer various option to choose from . As far as the rest goes, you are playing with fire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only said that because of this in the email: I guess I will just put it down as the cost of doing business on amazon and look at the amazon options. As I do not want to be booted off the platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only had 1 month above 10k (Dec 2021). From the approval email they confirm coverage with the issuing company and "If the policy is canceled, altered or does not provide the coverage identified in the certificate of insurance (COI) you submitted, we will reach out to you to submit proof of a new commercial liability insurance policy." Cancelling after 1-6 months risks losing your amazon account. p.s. I received a 'request'/reminder to purchase again this year, even though I've been below the 10k threshold for 12 months.

Anytime you purchase insurance there is tracking/notifications of such coverage between the insurance company and covered companies involved. i.e. That's why you will get notices from your bank if you are late paying your insurance. They know whether its active/expired or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmpirate Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Listings deactivated due to potential pricing error Been a long time since I received this error. Was just adding inventory and adjusting price for Death Stars. I inputted 1699.99 (current displayed price). How do I resolve this again?

Price alerts in you manage inventory page but I have only seen it when I price a lot higher than the buy box. I wonder if your shipping is high compared to the listing.

I switched to them when Amz required insurance and I'm paying $700 per year ish. Not great if you only need it for Amz, but I'm required to have biz insurance for 3 places, so.... could be worse. Or keep your sales below the insurance threshhold. Close up shop when you get close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
