I am a British website seller. I sell products on the British website, but I was maliciously attacked by my competitors. The detailed questions are as follows:

My asin: B0F9XW9RXH and B0F9XVV8S6 are newly released this year and were shipped to Amazon warehouses on May 27, 2025. On June 23, 2025, Amazon began to receive inventory and did not issue an order during the pre-sale period. However, on June 8, 2025, these two asin received one-star negative reviews from the same buyer (not certified by purchase). So we checked the buyer's profile, where all the reviews were 5-star reviews and were not certified for purchase, which was obviously a competitor's malicious manipulation of comments, trying to harm our business! This seriously violates the standard of fair competition on Amazon platform. Please check it with relevant departments! The specific comment information is as follows:

Coincidentally, our other variant product asin: B0F2MWHHKH also received two one-star negative reviews on June 8, 2025, but it was not purchased. Check out the profiles of these two buyers, and they are all 5-star reviews and are all reviews that have not purchased certification! Competitors try to harm other people's business by manipulating comments, so please crack down on the platform!

I will start this by saying, before this incident I thought amazon's service was pretty good. However, recently Amazon has behaved in a way that has truly shocked me.

Amazon, without warning, created a removal order for nearly 100 units of varying stock, they did not give me prior warning or any reasons. When asked for a reason they said "capacity issues", I was kind of annoyed but it wasn't the end of the world.

What really got me going was after the fact they have the gawl to charge me over £250 for the privilege of removing my stock from their warehouses. What an absolute joke, I pay for amazon's services including warehousing and fulfilment. They have effectively taken both from me on these particular items and then billed me for the privilege. If they have capacity issues in their warehouse and want to remove stock, they should be paying for it. We had an agreement whereby they would provide warehousing facilities for a fee which I have duly paid for. It would probably be hoping for too much from amazon to rescind these disgusting charges they've now levied against me but I doubt that will happen.

I am truly at awe with the sheer disregard for sellers on their platform, how can they create a removal order without prior warning, and then charge me for it, when I didnt even want it in the first place.

Cannot believe it, I'm in awe

Hi All

Recent experience with a Customer raises a few questions for me, any advice would be appreciated.

A customer placed two seperate orders recently, 4 days apart. Both orders were shipped the same day, sent on a next day service with Evri and delivered the next day but were left in a 'Safe Place'.

We received a message from the buyer on the delivery day of the first order which said 'Where exactly has this been left please?'. So we sent a polite reply advising where it had been left (which was by the side of a wheelie bin) and attached the delivery image. In response the buyer said ''This parcel has not been received. You have 48 hrs from now to resolve otherwise a chargeback will be raised.'' In reponse, we didn't argue with him in any way, just politely asked him if he could confirm that he had checked the location where it had been left, and that the parcel was not there, in which case it must have been stolen and we would refund him. He didn't respond to that and went straight to an A-Z claim which of course Amazon granted but they didn't count against my metrics.

The scond order, the first we heard was a message from the buyer saying '' Again This POD is not compliant with consumer law. Package has to be handed to me unless I have authorised otherwise. Courier to be sent back to locate it.'' We responded again advising it had been left in the same place and attached the delivery image and could he check and advise. He want straight to an A-Z from there which had the same outcome as above.

They were both low value fortunately, however the biggest problem is that he has now left 1 negative and 1 neutral feedback for these orders saying ''poor customer service, poor attitude. My consumer rights are protected by law and overule your personal policies''. This is the biggest issue for me as it obviously affects my performance metrics badly!

So I am wondering what can I do about this and how can I prevent it in the future? I know I won't be able to have the reviews removed becuase they don't meet the criteria.

He is basically saying that under consumer law, if he hasn't agreed to them being left in a specific 'safe place' then the POD's don't count and so he will ask for his money back. He claims they have to be handed to hm personally under the law (unless he has agreed otherwise).

Due to the nature of the products we sell it maybe that he cannot get out of the house due to mobility issues. However, I'm not aware of ever seeing customers delivery instructions on orders on Amazon, is that a thing? I can't see anywhere that we can block a buyer either so that doesn't seem to be an option. I am concerned that if he keeps ordering and the same keeps hapening we could end up with a whole bunch of a-z's and negative feedbacks, or too many order cancellations if we don't ship them.

Appreciate your thoughts

Thanks

Currently I have to sign in and put OTP in around 15 times a day, is this normal??

I've never come across this before but I can't use Royal Mail on one of my FBM orders.

I literally shipped the exact same item last night for 87p but when I went onto this one, a minute later, Royal Mail is greyed out and I can only use Evri.

I've opened a case via SS (11238764102) - was told to use Evri but that method is 3 times more expensive and leaves me out of pocket.

Anyone have any clues - tempted to take a hit on my VTR and use a stamp.

It's to Devon and it's a ship by today - delivery up until 1st of July (the exact same stats as other orders the same).

I'm at a loss as I've tried everything - SS aren't helping (no surprises there).

We're forced to use 'Buy Shipping' but this appears to be a glitch that will leave me with either a hit on my metrics or being out of pocket
