You’re too funny

@papy The page I can’t see is the Reviews & Recommendations. I can see the MakerPlace by Michaels - Sellers Ask Sellers just fine. Sorry - I should’ve been more specific.

Ruh-roh, George.

Apparently, I need to deploy my #FreeDogtamer hash-tag alongside #FreeGandalf…

[papy]

@Gandalf @Dogtamer look here Reviews & Recommendations. We moved that into a members-only private space.

Sorry - I should’ve been more specific.

No, I evidently didn’t follow your reply and ASSumed you meant the newest category. I’m so sorry!

New TAG Alert

Sometimes topics, questions, and issues fall under more than one category of SAS. We use tags to make these items easier to find for members.

Our newest tag is fbm (<clickable!). If a topic deals with a Fulfilled By Merchant (FBM) concern, it should display an FBM tag and be immediately discoverable by clicking on said tag.

• You can find a list of tags in your sidebar menu under TAGS > All tags or at SellersAskSellers - TAGS.
• You can flag a topic to suggest that mods add a tag.
• You can add a tag when you create a topic.
• You can suggest tags to be added by replying here.

So what is
Trust Level regular

[papy]

@Lost_My_Marbles

So what is
Trust Level regular

It’s 3, which you achieved waaay back in June.

[TCLynx]

I think we need a translation about which trust level is which since I see member on mine but don’t know what that equates to.

[Lost_My_Marbles]

Trust Level 4 = Leader
Trust Level 3 = Regular
Trust Level 2 = Member
Trust Level 1 = Who Dis? ( Just kidding ) = Basic

[Dogtamer]

@Lost_My_Marbles

Trust Level 4 = Leader
Trust Level 3 = Regular
Trust Level 2 = Member
Trust Level 1 = Who Dis? ( Just kidding ) = Basic

You left some slots out of the list:

Trust Level 0 = Amazon

Trust Level -1 = Katie

[papy]

Sure thing! I’ll use your profile as an example, @TCLynx (because mine is weird as staff), to whip up a little general Trust Level/Badge explainer. (Please ignore what you personally already know! )

On Discourse, Trust Levels are represented by Badges (scroll to last section at link) that correspond to a “status”.

Trust Level badges display on profiles and in members’ individual Badge lists (accessible by clicking the Badge icon). SAS logged-in users can see any other users’ badges.

When you click on the Trust Level badge links, they translate the “status” (e.g., Member) to the number levels.

• (applying members, some newbies, others) = TL0
• Basic = TL1
• Member = TL2
• Regular = TL3 (NOTE! The description of what Regular SAS members can do is not accurate, and we can’t change the text.)
• Leader = TL4 (NOTE! SAS staff only: @Tallytony @Pepper_Thine_Angus @VTR @papy)

NOTE: Trust Levels can change over time, including reversing, depending on participation and any issues.

When you see a green checkmark here…

…it means that you do have that Badge.

This big empty means that you do not:

OTHER NOTES:

• SAS has a few more badges than OSFE did.
• When you scroll through Badges, you can see how many of that Badge have been awarded. You can also click the title for more information about how the badge is awarded or what it can “do”.

And here’s a view from my own Badges list, with annotations:

Hope that all helps a bit #SellersAskSellers

Check this post for FBA and FBM tools for posting on SAS

Pending order issues with ship date

Just a mod note: FBA and FBM are two different beasts. Each fulfillment method has pros and cons for every ecom business and/or product on Amazon. There is no one or right way to fulfill your Amazon orders–but there sure are plenty of wrong ways! Every Amazon Seller must decide for themselves which method to use, when, and how. Because the policies, procedures, and needs of Sellers using FBA or FBM differ so significantly, SAS has different categories and tags for each. F…
