Informational links for Dropshipping Violations and Amazon's POV on this.

This is by no means complete, but I admit that I would like to see the old posts redone on here for sellers to reference. It need not be public access, but there is a lot that I can’t find in the mess that is Amazon’s old and new forums.

I really miss the contributions of Chip (@Charles_Amazon’s nickname, apparently, as he was known to “sign” some posts with that appellation).

Originally an AHT (‘Amazonese’ for “Account Health Team”) SME (‘Amazonese’ for “Subject Matter Expert”), and later promoted to the FMT/CMT (“Forum Moderation Team”/“Community Manager Team”), Charles has not been seen for some time.


The SAS Staff has introduced a ‘Reference’ category for that, but one must first be advanced to a Discourse Trust Level which enables viewing (for good reasons galore).


ETA:

@Pepper_Thine_Angus - Arabic apparently abounds in “re-quotes.”

Yeah this is a coding error on the NSFE when Discourse tries to fetch a preview of the page. Way to go AMAZON.

I would like to apologize for it taking me more than 3 weeks to get around to digging up Bryce’s May`23

I’m gonna drop this first here. For the first time in many years I have finally seen a dropshipper reinstated!

  • Suspended summer of 2022 from FBM but able to use FBA
  • Listed/Sold FBA right away
  • Submitted many failed appeals (mostly from River…)
  • Reinstated for FBM yesterday

Was there a PROPER appeal submitted before Reinstatement?

Of course … I was involved.

Do you think the two years of trouble-free FBA made a difference?

I do, although I don’t think 2 yrs is required.
