When and How to Use Pre-orders and Back-orders
by Seller_mIRnuhdx7l5sN

Hello Sellers,

Have you ever wondered about the differences between pre-orders and back-orders? Here's what you need to know:

Pre-orders allow you to accept orders for products that haven't been released yet, enabling customers to purchase in advance of the release date. This is particularly useful when you're launching new products and want to gauge interest or secure sales before the official release.

Back-orders are for existing products that are temporarily out of stock but will be available again when restocked. This option helps you maintain sales momentum even when inventory is depleted, allowing customers to place orders whilst waiting for your restock.

You can set up these options through Seller Central:

  • For pre-orders, specify the product's release date during listing creation
  • For back-orders, set a restock date for your out-of-stock items

Both options require shipping within 30 days and are not available for Fulfilment by Amazon products or Music, Video and DVD items.

For more details, please consult the relevant help page: List a pre-ordered or back-ordered product.

Have you used pre-orders or back-orders before? Share your experience in the comments!

Cheers, Ezra

Hi everyone,

We’ve come across a frustrating issue affecting several of our listings on Amazon.co.uk and are hoping someone here has encountered something similar or can advise on how to resolve it.

Essentially, many of our FBM products (one example B085QDW2P4, you can see 2 versions of it) are appearing twice on the site. One version of the listing is fully functional and buyable, while the other version displays the message: "This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location." The most concerning part is that sometimes the unshippable version ends up holding the Buy Box, which means customers are being directed to a product page where they are unable to make a purchase. Deliver to address is a regular UK postcode.

From our side in Seller Central, we only see a single offer per ASIN. There are no visible duplicates, and nothing appears to be suppressed, stranded, or inactive. This makes it impossible for us to identify and remove or edit the problematic version of the listing.

We’d really appreciate any help in understanding why this might be happening and how we can fix it. Why would Amazon show two listings when only one offer exists? How can we make sure the correct, buyable listing is the one that surfaces and holds the Buy Box? And is there a specific way to report this through support that will get attention and action? We already opened multiple cases but to no avail.

This issue is not only hurting our sales, but it's also creating a confusing and poor experience for customers. If anyone has dealt with this and found a solution, we’d be very grateful if you could share your experience.

Thanks in advance,

I want to sell my EU power strips on Amazon UK for customers that travel overseas and want a good power strip to take with them.

I tried listing before but it was removed as a product violation as the product does not have a UK plug or a UK adaptor with it.

This product is not intended for use in the UK, and it cannot be used in the UK. I made this clear in the listing but it was still removed by your team.

Surely it must be possible to list products designed for traveler's to take to the EU with them?! Its obvious from the product photos that this is not for use in the UK as it has EU sockets and an EU plug on it.

Brand Approval Every 7 days, Parent/Child Issues
by Seller_4mvpF14wacAyg
Amazon replied

Hi all,

Is anyone else having massive issues since this new "AI" tool as come into place?

I am constantly having issues where I have to apply to sell brands every single week to fix issues where the parent/child ASIN's are being split.

A week later I lose my brand approval and they break again - feels like groundhog day.

It's been going on for weeks now, so just wondering if is just me or anybody else in the same boat?

It's getting tiring, sales are hard enough to come by at the minute without Amazon messing about with new tools.

Incorrect automatic categorisation
by Seller_8v5rbFpoYLbmh
Amazon replied

A few weeks ago my Probiotic floor cleaner was made inactive as the word ‘probiotic’ triggered a flag and I was recategorised to an ingestible healthcare product which apparently are not permitted at the moment. That is now resolved…..

However! I am just creating a bundle with the similar product - this time it’s is a

‘probiotic multi-surface cleaning product for the home’. (100ml concentrate with a 500ml empty refillable bottle).

I am in the process of listing and have categorised it is grocery> Home Care & cleaning> Household cleaners > All purpose cleaners

However, I can see already that system already thinks I am an investable product and is asking me fill in food ingredients etc as mandatory.

How do I ensure it doesn’t incorrectly categorise me once again?

Thanks you

Some how a parent child relationship has been created via our products we sell on UK ,EU and USA sites. On our UK listing some of our products have been linked together ..although one of our most popular colours has been linked to our foreign inventory so is double the price. listing details and images are also missing. I have emailed via a case 10+ times and keep getting generic amazon responses totally unrelated to the issue..i.e. how to create a listing, holiday mode and the obvious steps to update a variation family. Which obviously i would easily do if i had access to the parent sku! chat and phone options have been unavailable for days saying no one is available. would just love an actual amazon human to read and help assist with my issue.

Brand approval to sell used books
by Seller_JuXmiUuCR8FoI

Hello

I have a problem listing a used copy of 'The Gonzo Papers Anthology' by Hunter S Thompson because I need brand approval from the publishers Picador. This seems unlikely because I have been able to list other Picador titles without such approval required. I have listed it on Ebay without any such nonsense-any thoughts please,

Thank you

Approval for listing
by Seller_aNVVGwLoedHDX

I have purchased vanilla powder from a small business vendor, and my listing has been approved, and Amazon is asking for approval to sell the products. I have sent a letter, pictures, and labels, but I received a reply saying the following:

Thank you for your application to sell Product Group Approval Request for Grocery & Gourmet Foods products. We have reviewed the documentation and information that you provided and determined that you are not eligible to sell Product Group Approval Request for Grocery & Gourmet Foods products.

-- We cannot accept the INVOICE that you provided because we are unable to verify the transaction with the supplier. The documents that you provide must be authentic and unaltered.

Can anyone please help me to solve this? I'm new, and I'm fed up

thank you
