Amazon sellers can now offer quantity discounts to customers
Recently, Amazon launched a new feature which enables third party sellers to set quantity discounts affecting the price of their MFN products, once a customer decides to purchase more than a single unit.
Business price and Quantity discounts are currently only available to Business customers. Quantity discounts can be set by Brand Registered Amazon sellers.
Each seller in the Amazon Business Seller program specifies tiers for quantity pricing.
Here you can view an e-mail announcement by Amazon regarding the feature:
Here is a copy of the wording in English:
Hello xxxxxxx, We are reaching out to you because we noticed that you are a Brand Owner. We also noticed that you don’t currently have Quantity Discounts on the majority of your Offers. Quantity Discounts allow Sellers to use economies of scale to attract Amazon Business Customers – especially on Merchant Fulfilled products. According to our data, we find that Amazon business Customers tend to purchase in bulk. Many Brand Owners on Amazon take advantage of the Quantity Discount feature in order to attract more sales for their Merchant Fulfilled Products. Here is a quick tutorial on how to add Quantity Discounts to your selection: Please review your inventory and add QD as this could have a positive impact on your revenue! Thanks, Amazon Business Team We hope you found this message to be useful. However, if you’d rather not receive future e-mails of this sort from Amazon Business, please update your subscription preference. |
I hope you found this article helpful. Many Amazon sellers recently started trading stocks and crypto currencies, hoping to diversify their income, which is a very good idea with all the uncertainty which comes with the platform. For this reason, we launched a new Facebook group, Crypto Arbitrage Income (Bitcoin, Crypto, Altcoins, Blockchain, Trading) – feel free to join us and forget about the troubles of selling on Amazon for a moment!

Over a year passed since Amazon started requiring its sellers to obtain business liability insurance, if their sales exceed $10000 in monthly sales turnover. Most sellers were able to obtain the required insurance, thanks to my helpful guide found on this link. All you need to do is subscribe to my OnlyFans page for $24.99 and this will enable you to obtain insurance accepted by Amazon, regardless of your business entity and country, where you are based.
However, please note that regardless where your business liability insurance policy was purchased, all insurance policies are expiring after a year and you will need to renew them and re-upload into the Amazon Seller Central, otherwise you will be treated in the same manner as those, who don’t have any insurance details on file.
Here is a copy of e-mail from Amazon requested update business liability insurance information following expiry:

Watch out as Amazon will be automatically adjusting shipping time estimates!
Recently, Amazon sent their third party sellers doing business on European marketplaces an e-mail titled “Improve your transit time”, which looks just like many of the generic promotional communications, which they are regularly sending.
However, the e-mails state that Amazon somehow detected the seller’s delivery times to be much shorter than their currently set shipping estimates and therefore, the estimates will be automatically adjusted throughout October 2022 to offer customers faster delivery promise. This will all happen without the affected seller’s knowledge or consent and affect domestic standard shipping times.
There is no option how you can proactively opt out and the only thing you can do is manually setting the shipping times back to their original timeframes, once you already discover them being changed.
Here is a screenshot of the e-mail regarding the matter from Amazon:
Here is a copy of the wording:
| Improve your transit time This is an important notification, which requires your attention. Dear Seller, We identified that more than 90% of your orders in the last three months have arrived before your promised delivery dates because your promised transit time is slower than your carriers delivery performance. What does this mean for you? Your performance indicates that setting a faster transit time could benefit you and the customer by showing a more accurate promised delivery date. In October, we will update your standard transit times ranges in shipping templates to values that are closer to your actual delivery times. As an example, if your transit time is set to 14-21 days and your preferred carrier is delivering within 10-12 days, we will update the transit time to 10-14 days. No action is required from your side at the moment unless you want to further re-adjust the transit times. We will only adjust Standard Domestic Transit times in shipping templates. Your premium ship options, international and expedited templates will remain unchanged. What are the advantages of adjusting to faster & more accurate transit time? Faster transit times mean earlier delivery promise for your offers and customers are generally more likely to purchase products that have a faster delivery promise. You can, at any time, update or change transit times in the shipping settings if you are unable to offer set transit times to the customers. |

Amazon postpones the deadline for removal of non-compliant listings under Controlled Drugs Policy
Recently, Amazon announced that they will be starting to enforce their policy affecting over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and/or natural health products (NHP). However, they now e-mailed sellers with a correction, stating that the previously mentioned deadline of 30.September 2022 is being extended to 24.October 2022.
Amazon policy states that all drugs listed in scheduled substances, drugs paraphernalia, and any other drugs and NHPs listed in the “Controlled Drugs and Substances Act” cannot be sold on their platform.
Here you can view a copy of the e-mail regarding the matter:
| Important information about over-the-counter drug and natural health product listings on Amazon.ca Hello, We are contacting you because you are selling or have sold over-the-counter (OTC) drugs and/or natural health products (NHP) on Amazon.ca. For more information on our policy on these products, go to “Drugs, Drug Paraphernalia & Dietary Supplements”: https://sellercentral.amazon.ca/help/hub/reference/external/200164490 You may have previously received emails informing non-compliant ASINs will be removed from our store starting September 30, 2022. As part of our ongoing efforts to provide the best possible seller and customer experience, we have extended this deadline. Non-compliant ASINs will now be removed from the http://amazon.ca/ store starting October 24, 2022. We will resume sending updated list of identified ASINs from the first week of October 2022. Why is this happening? Drugs and natural health products are regulated by Health Canada. Health Canada regulates who can distribute scheduled substances, narcotics, and paraphernalia. Amazon policy states that all drugs listed in scheduled substances, drugs paraphernalia, and any other drugs and NHPs listed in the “Controlled Drugs and Substances Act”: https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-38.8/ are not to be sold on Amazon.ca. For more information, go to “Drug Scheduling in Canada – General Overview”: https://www.napra.ca/drug-scheduling-canada-general-overview, provided by the National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities. If you believe your listings were incorrectly identified or have already been restricted, write to rpsa-sim@amazon.com with a list of affected ASINs. The Amazon Restricted Products team |
