“Amazon Boycotts Chinese Sellers” / Inbound Defect Fees / Incorrect Alcohol Flagging

Hello All

1. Please make sure to read and understand the new defect shipping fees as they are high and can be costly; AWD fees going up soon?; ASGTG Event prep in full gear with many new sponsors and speakers. Join us! If you have never attended or want to bring your team, reply for a special offer; Some better conduct from the suits on approvals, and they were in a decent mood this week.

2. “Amazon boycotts Chinese sellers,” according to this post on seller forums. Link

3. Amazon account and listing suspensions can paralyze your business overnight, and standard appeals are often not enough. Amazon arbitration is a powerful legal option that allows sellers to challenge wrongful suspensions, frozen funds, disabled listings, and contract disputes under Amazon’s own rules. Cabilly & Co. helps sellers take decisive legal action to push for reinstatement and recover losses when Amazon will not listen.
We are excited to once again attend the ASGTG event in March and look forward to meeting sellers in person. (Sponsored)

5. Amazon is tagging food items as when they are not; also, toys that are not toys seem to me to be tagged as needing safety docs.

6. Fees are going up Jan 15th, which is the same day the holiday fees are going away.

7. “– Show that the quantity of the items bought matches your inventory and is equal or greater than 100 units.”
