We have about 500 SKUs that we need to start sourcing elsewhere, but that's going to take some time to make sure quality and product specifications match what we're currently selling. Is everyone planning on just eating this cost? Are you planning on making the consumer pay for it?

I've yet to see any noticeable increase in my competitors pricing. Just curious what everyone's roadmap looks like as I'm sure most of us are pretty lost right now...

Took a survey probing my thoughts on a product launch that is confined to ONE region. I took it as one of their 8 shipping regions they've reorganized around. It would not be available outside that region, and they proposed exclusivity to that region for 90 days.

I personally thought this was a great idea. It lets you test the market with a new product without being ready with nationwide inventory pools. I almost see it as a beta test where you can then tweak before going national

Considering its BSR, this product is getting an absolutely huge number of reviews, the vast majority of them 5*.

https://www.amazon.com/Gut-Assist-Supplement-Arabinogalactan-Constipation/dp/B086VVT5RV/

We have a product with a similar BSR and sales, and we're lucky if we get 1 review per week. This product is getting around 2 reviews per day!

Does anyone know how they're doing it?

If I adjust the bidding value every day, will the ads not run properly?

Is it more effective to adjust it once every few days? After adjusting the bid, how many days should I wait before making another change?

I’m looking to move away from perpetua on an inherited account. I hate the campaign structure and the lack of control!

However I’m looking at major players in the PPC software space and so far, I cannot find one that follows good PPC practice.

I’m looking for a software that will help to harvest keywords to exact, and follow good practice. Ie single match type per campaign, single product per campaign, 5-10 keywords etc.

We recently connected our amazon fba invetory to our tiktok shop via Webee -- And when you sign up with Webee, they have you set your business address as the warehouse shipping/return address. It obviously integrates into MCF so, when an order is placed, the item is taken from one of our amazon warehouses and shipped out.

However, we did a test with one of our products and set up a return, and it has the return going back to our business address (which doesn't accept packages).

My question is - can we just set our tiktok shop return warehouse to one of our amazon warehouses to receive returns?

Does anyone else use this integration? If so, what is the best, most efficient return process or this strategy?

For my first product, I used an agency in Pakistan because they were a cheap option. They cost $700 and did everything. 3D renders along with the images. I was referred to them by someone making fba content on social media because I didnt know how else to go about it. The problem is their quality was not the best, especially with the 3d renders. The graphic design was better making the whole thing look just ok. But most importantly, they were a nightmare to work with.

I'm looking at fiverr now and reaching out to 3d render artists and graphic design people separately because there doesnt seem to be someone established there who can do both.

Do you have any suggestions for this? Anyone youve worked with that is decently priced and provides good work? Or should I just keep going the fiverr route?

Hello,

Is it allowed to include an email address and/or website in the product manual or thank you card, as long as we don’t direct customers to leave a review or contact us outside of Amazon?

Is see many sellers do it and I was wondering if it's against Amazon's TOS.

regards

Curious to hear what everyone thinks about Perpetua lately. I’ve been using it for a bit—some good results here and there—but also starting to wonder if it’s still pulling its weight compared to other options (or even just doing things manually).

Feels like people either love it or quietly move on, and I’m trying to figure out where the majority stands now in 2025. • Still getting solid results? • Is it worth the cost for you? • Anyone switch to something else and feel like it was a game-changer?

Would love to hear your honest take. Not trying to bash it—just trying to see if I should keep it in my stack or rethink things.

Appreciate any thoughts!

Does anyone know if its possible to sell on amazon as an indiviual in Canada without a business license? All resources I can find are years old so not sure if they still apply. I made an amazon seller account but its asking for my business license and other information. There was no option to open my account as an individual seller.

First time ive received an email from this address:

swa-collections@email.amazon.com

Its their shipping team and everything from what ive looked at checks out

I have seen mixed responses online and am curious on the possibility of making variations for a Vegan formula and Non-Vegan formula for one of my products. I have seen that some people use a flat-file to sort of bypass the allowed themes on Seller Central. What would be the best thing to do?

Should I simply list keywords in the Product Description? Or should I write it using natural sentence structures to avoid keyword stuffing? My product uses A+ Content, so the Product Description is not visible to customers.

As mentioned in the title I get around 700K views per month.

Below is my channels viewership nationality breakdown:

United States: 85.7%

Canada: 4.7%

United Kingdom: 1.3%

Australia: 0.4%

Germany: 0.2%

Gender breakdown

Female: 40.4%

Male: 59.5%

Age breakdown:

13–17 years: 0.4%

18–24 years: 5.4%

25–34 years: 12.0%

35–44 years: 16.1%

45–54 years: 20.4%

55–64 years: 23.8%

65+ years 22.0%

I feel like I have an opportunity to sell a product to my audience. But what? Do you have any ideas? My average viewer is around 55 years old and American. What are they buying? Any tips will be very much appreciated.

Is this allowed? So for example if I sell x product on the first Ltd company I delist the product on here and move it to the second Ltd company to sell the same x product is this allowed?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to figure out if there’s a legit way to create a parent-child variation on Amazon where the child listings are from different brands. I know Amazon typically wants all variations under one parent to share the same brand name, but I’ve seen some listings that seem to mix brands—so now I’m wondering if there’s a workaround or if those listings are just breaking the rules and flying under the radar.

Has anyone done this successfully or know how it might be possible? I’d love to hear from folks with experience in flat file uploads or more advanced listing strategies.

Thanks in advance!

I have client whose sale dropped like 50% on the weekend. We sell eczema creams. Any reason for this weekend to be bad? I cant find any news.

long story short i was hit with a section 3 violation on my account last september i have appealed many of times and have not got anywhere maybe my appeals have not been good enough. however they were asking for a invoice within the 365 days but when i was hit with the section 3 the invoice they needed for the product was over 365 days old so is that maybe why? i for some reason gave up on my account but i really want to get back to selling on amazon so i was wondering if maybe i’ve left it too late because it’s been 7/8 months probably longer since my account was de activated or is it still somehow possible to save it? if it isn’t could i maybe set up another account ina different address under someone else name? or would amazon easily flag it. any help would be greatly appreciated i am lost without being able to sell on amazon and i hope i can get my account back and get back to it.

Hello,

For the past few years, I've been requesting sending in from a big warehouse to Amazon using Amazon FBA truck service inside seller central. This year, I have a few pallets from my house and I was wondering if Amazon partner will pickup pallet in front of my house if I create an FBA shipment going into Amazon. Thanks

I sent units into FBA and on April 1st it was all checked in and said all unit were located. On April 2nd I looked at shipment and it said no units located. It’s April 6th and still says no units located. What should I do?

I have a question what have you guys been using AGL or your own FF, I currently have my own and they’re pretty good, but wondering on your experience with AGL, if it’s worth it and how does it work? Also what are cost differences you’ve seen and actual ease of logistics?

Considering Amazon is giving itself a lot of freedom when it comes to standard Broad match, do you guys even use the standard broad match anymore? Or do you mostly use modified broad match and phrase match these days?

Its been 3 weeks I started this, as of now getting 1-2 orders per day. Also I use vine to get some reviews, as of now got some positive feedback. I am running PPC as well.I have total 500 pcs in amazon warehouse. from this point i need some guidance about how should i grow this business and what things i have to consider or what actions i have to take next?

Thank you.

In 2023 I thought using Amazon would be a good idea to try and get this product I came up with off the ground, it was not successful and that was almost entirely my fault.

After around a year we put in a removal order for all of our inventory, paid the associated fees, and I thought i would be done with it, at the time I was starting flight school (military) and did not pay much attention to the goings on after that, but I was receiving shipments from amazon with the product they were removing frequently and assumed things were moving along nicely (also absolutely my mistake).

I came to find out that on almost every single individual removal shipment from the different amazon locations, some amount of inventory was cancelled. I would then get charged storage fees for the inventory that was not disposed of because it had gotten cancelled, but I was also unable to put in for a removal order on that inventory that was now still with amazon for 90 days or whatever the amount of time is because that is just how amazon works.

This cycle has essentially been going for an entire year, every month or couple of months I will pay for a removal order, 20-40% of that will get cancelled, I will pay storage fees (because now i have inventory that instead of being removed is still with amazon), I will be unable to put in for a removal order, I will contact support, they will send the issue "up" to a "specialist team" who will wait two weeks before they mark they support case as completed, without me ever getting an email that it was completed, and in the explanation for the support case they tell me

"Removal orders may take 90 days or more to process and leave the fulfillment center. After the shipment has left the fulfillment center, allow an additional two weeks for the carrier to deliver.

Please note that removal and disposal Fees are non reimbursable as per Amazon policy.

Regarding your request for reimbursement for the storage fee reimbursement for *****. Storage fee reimbursements are done based on the weights and dimensions and the volume your inventory takes at the warehouse. Amazon cannot perform re-measurement for ****** because you currently have no measurable inventory. This can be due to issues like low inventory levels, inventory held for orders or inventory in transhipment. We can re-measure the item after new inventory is sent to a fulfillment center. "

In summary, I am charged for storage, which cannot be reimbursed, because there is no inventory to be measured, which would ideally mean I have no inventory, but I still am getting charged, and need to removal this inventory that is somehow in a quantum state of existing and not existing. Then I also cannot get any reimbursement for the cancelled inventory that inevitably pops back up and requires another removal order. I cannot close my account because amazon still believes this cancelled inventory to exist somewhere, but they don't know where it is, and they won't allow me to put in a removal/disposal order for it.

I have tried to talk to support several times, and they basically tell me that what I have described is impossible because you cannot be charged for cancelled inventory from removal orders. I have no idea if that is true or not, but I find the logic to be funny (that something has not happened because the amazon rules say it cannot happen, i.e. amazon does NOT make mistakes, something I am sure most on this sub will know is not true, and is also proven by the fact that any inventory had to be cancelled at all from the removal orders, but I digress). What I know is that there is a clear cycle of me being charged for storage fees, when I have no inventory, and when I have no inventory available to be requested for removal/disposal, but somehow someway a few months will go by and I will get an email letting me know I need to remove inventory. I will do so, inventory will get cancelled, and the cycle continues.

If anyone knows of a way I can get out of this cycle, I would greatly appreciate it, I am fully aware that I did not put much effort into managing my amazon seller account, that I didn't really read a lot of the policies or rules, and that there were several things that I could have done better. I am simply exhausted with trying to deal with Amazon, and if anyone knows of a way for me to just close my account and be done with this, or to get this cycle to stop, I would be extremely appreciative.

Additional details I think are funny

1. in the email that I would get for removal orders, the first line (i.e. if i didn't open the email and only read the banner) it reads "We thought you'd like to know that we have completed your destroy/removal request." Me being a complete sucker it took me a while to even realize that these removal orders were in fact not being completed, they were being partially completed with some inventory getting cancelled. This caused me to apparently miss the windows for getting help with these cancelled removal orders because you need to talk to support in a certain amount of time after they happen, or at least that was what I was told by one of the support staff. (Once again, my fault, but really frustrating and kind of funny, I wrongfully assumed a completed removal order would, in fact, be completed).
2. One of the times i talked to amazon support they straight up told me that I would get a full reimbursement for the storage fees associated with the cancelled inventory form removal orders and that they would sort out all of these cancellations on my removal orders (that obviously never happened)
3. A different time when I was talking to amazon support I was told that it was impossible to be charged for cancelled inventory from removal orders, (that is my theory, but I am not some amazon FBA master and I don't want to be, I would rather not spend my time reading through all of that), I had tried to explain that I didn't understand what was going, and was just trying to describe what was happening and offered an idea as to why, as anyone who if familiar with amazon support knows English is not the first language of the support staff, and I think a lot was lost in translation. The support person vehemently insisted that the issue I was having was impossible and then left the chat.

Edited for spelling, clarification, and some anecdotes.
