I started in late August 2024. While the onboarding experience was good, the support experience has been a nightmare, especially regarding shipments sent to FBA. The most recent issue is a shipment that shows delivered but still not yet checked in after more than 3 weeks. Calling support is useless as Amazon reps will respond with pre-written scrips instead of listening to my actual concern. I posted concerns in the sellers' forum, but there was no response. Just very disappointed with how FBA sellers are treated
First and foremost, I am having a great time learning to sell on Amazon and really enjoy this new experience!
I wish I had known going in that we would have to wait 6-8 weeks before we start to see our profits sent back to us. I got pretty nervous at first, wondering what the heck was going on.
I wish I had known that Amazon can turn on a dime as far as gating/ungating. Just because you are ungated doesn't mean that the next week you will still be. I lost money on items that I was ungated for, got specially approved to list, and then was gated a week later after the fact with an invoice considered unacceptable.
I got set up just fine, had no issues with getting started.
Seller Support has been disappointing. There is a "language" of Amazon, which new sellers do not know yet. The cutting and pasting of references in responses from Seller Support is never supportive. But in the case of New Sellers, we don't understand what half of that lingo even means. Ignoring the point of our questions and simply repeating scripts comes across as dismissive and condescending. (This comment does not apply to Account Health - those guys were great)
I have used mostly chat for Seller Support. It seems that most of the time English is not their primary language, so chat feels easier to communicate with.
I started selling on Amazon in late August 2024. The experience has been good, and I am thankful for the experience thus far.
If I had the experience that I have now, I would have paid special attention to using my launch funds more effectively with campaigns.
I would have also paid more attention to listing detail and vine reviews! here's to selling with Amazon for more time to come.
Hello everyone!
At the beginning of 2022, I opened my North America account, and since then, I have researched thousands of products. I estimate that I have made around a thousand sales so far. :) I have contacted Amazon customer service hundreds of times and faced just as many challenges. No matter which representative I spoke to, they always listened to my issue and provided a solution. And the result? I’m still learning.
I transitioned from my Canadian store to the U.S. market and have now built an inventory for my U.S. store. Every day, I monitor my products and work hard to make progress. During this period, I experimented with promotions and PPC advertising. I believe we will be launching a brand soon, and after that, I plan to explore other tools.
As I dive deeper into the tools Amazon offers for brand owners, I keep thinking, "I wish I had launched a brand from the very beginning." When I run a PPC ad, I receive thousands of impressions within hours, even with the simplest tools. The potential is incredibly high. But still, this journey is giving me valuable experience.
Despite Amazon’s strict policies, the flexibility they offer to sellers is truly commendable. They recognize that we are an essential part of this ecosystem. We play a crucial role in this system, which is why they help us identify our mistakes and guide us toward improvement, ensuring we don’t repeat them.
This is what I have experienced on my journey. Thankfully, I have not encountered any major issues so far. I actively follow and read forums, and most of the time, I find my experiences to be the opposite of what I read—always in a positive way.
My advice to new sellers is to learn through hands-on experience. No matter how many videos you watch or blogs you read, real experience is the key to shaping your path. In such a high-potential environment, there are countless possible strategies, and you need to keep experimenting to find the right one. Additionally, the system is already in place and working—don’t try to disrupt it. Instead, move forward with it, and success will be inevitable. If you look closely, you will realize that everyone is working toward the same goal.
Thank you so much.
