Don’t forget to upload a new certificate of Business Liability Insurance

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:

Action required: New certificate of insurance coverage

Hello,

Thank you for maintaining commercial liability insurance for the products that you sell on Amazon.  According to our records, your policy has or is about to expire.  Please upload a new certificate of insurance within 30 days of receiving this email.

Why did I receive this message?

Your commercial liability insurance has expired or will expire in the next 30 days. Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement requires that once your gross proceeds exceed $10,000 in a month, or as otherwise requested by Amazon, you maintain current commercial insurance coverage and submit a proof within 30 days of receiving a verification request.           

How can I get a proof of liability insurance? 

You can contact your insurance provider to issue a Certificate of Insurance (COI) for the current year. You can also use this opportunity to shop around to ensure you have comprehensive coverage at a great rate. To secure easy and affordable liability insurance, Amazon has worked with an insurance broker to create Amazon Insurance Accelerator, a network of insurance providers who will evaluate and, if appropriate, offer liability insurance at competitive rates to qualifying selling partners. To learn more about Amazon Insurance Accelerator and contact the providers, go to Business Insurance: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/mario/v2/az/flow/BusinessInsurance/page/InsuranceEstablishment/global/render. 

What do I do next?

Upload your current COI as proof of liability insurance coverage on the Business Insurance page: 
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/mario/v2/az/flow/BusinessInsurance/page/InsuranceEstablishment/global/render?view=up

The COI is issued by your insurance company and details on what is covered, the amount of coverage, and any exclusions or deductibles. COI can be uploaded in .pdf, .doc, or .docx format. You can also access the upload page by doing the following:

1) On Seller Central, go to “Settings” and select “Account Info”. 
2) Under the “Business Information” widget, select “Business Insurance”.

Amazon is now giving sellers the exact reason for Restricted Products Removal

Kika Angelic

Published

on

If you are a third party seller doing business on Amazon’s platform, you might be already aware that they are rarely providing any clear reason at all for their enforcements. Amazon can remove your listings anytime and if you wish to have them reactivated, you will have to invest a significant amount of time and resources into appealing.

Recently, Amazon started briefly clarifying reasons for listing blocks in relevant notices, which includes those subject to Restricted Products Removal. If you carefully review the wording of e-mail received from Amazon, you will be able to detect, why they were removed.

By the way of example, a recent Restricted Products Removal notice states:

“Jewellery products cannot be described as “8 carat gold”, “10 carat gold” or similar as these are not recognised finesses of gold in the UK. For more info, please see the following; https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/external/help.html?itemID=201744030&language=en_GB&ref=efph_201744030_relt_201744010”

The text of your notice should address your listing’s specific reasons.

Here you can view an example full e-mail from Amazon regarding Restricted Products Removal:

Notification of Restricted Products Removal

Hello from Amazon,
We are writing to let you know that the following detail pages have been removed from our catalog:

ASIN: XXX, SKU: XXX, Title: XXX

Jewellery products cannot be described as “8 carat gold”, “10 carat gold” or similar as these are not recognised finesses of gold in the UK. For more info, please see the following; https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/external/help.html?itemID=201744030&language=en_GB&ref=efph_201744030_relt_201744010
Why is this happening?

We took this action because this product is not permitted for sale on Amazon.co.uk. It is your obligation to make sure the products you offer comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and Amazon’s policies.

What actions do I need to take?

– If any of the above ASINs are Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) offers, please initiate a removal request for the ASIN(s) referenced above to have your inventory sent to a location of your choosing. If you fail to initiate a removal request within 30 days of this notification, we may dispose of it in accordance with the Amazon Services Europe Business Solutions Agreement and FBA policies. For more information on our FBA policies, please review https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/201030350 and https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/200140860.

– Within 48 hours of this warning, please review your listings and close, delete, or archive any listings that do not comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and Amazon’s policies, including the product(s) listed above.

Please note that moving a restricted product listing to Inactive (Out of Stock) does not make the listing compliant. If you think your product was incorrectly identified as a restricted product on Amazon, close the listing immediately to ensure compliance while you appeal the restriction with Seller Support.

What happens if I fail to follow the above instructions?

Failure to properly close or delete all restricted product listings from your inventory may result in the deactivation of your selling account, and funds may be permanently held.

How to recover your Amazon Seller Account when Two Step Verification Fails

Kika Angelic

Published

on

As you know, Amazon now requires all third party sellers to implement two step verification in order to access their Seller Accounts. Many sellers are reaching out to me and seeking help with regaining access to their accounts when they are unable to perform two step verification.

This may happen when a seller loses their phone, for example. In such case, they will be unable to receive the OTP text code. If Two-Step Verification fails and you can’t access your account, you can try to recover it using alternative means.

To regain access to your account, you’ll need to verify your identity by providing a scan or photo of a government-issued identity document to Amazon. To protect your account, Amazon won’t be able to make changes to your Two-Step Verification settings until your identity is successfully verified. If you are able to sign in to your account, you’ll have access to make changes to your account.

Before you begin account recovery, try to sign in with a registered backup method or from a trusted device.

If you still can’t sign in, to recover your account:

  1. Go here
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload your identity document. Make sure that your name and address, and the issuing authority (e.g., state or country) are visible. Cover, conceal, or remove sensitive information such as account numbers or identification numbers. 

The verification process can take 1-2 days to complete. Amazon will e-mail you to confirm once Two-Step Verification has been disabled. You’ll then be able to access your account with only your password.

New requirement for list prices on Amazon starts June 30

Kika Angelic

Published

on

If you are an Amazon Seller doing business on their US platform, you must have received Amazon’s warning e-mail entitled New requirement for list prices starts June 30 in your inbox. Starting that date, Amazon will require any newly created listings to contain the List Price.

If you are wondering why is setting a List Price so important for Amazon, in this article I will be addressing your concerns. Whilst it will only take you a few seconds to update any listing with a List Price, you may not be aware of its pros and cons.

Once you upload the List Price, Amazon will save this figure as the product’s RRP. When you try to decrease or increase the product price later, your listing will get automatically deactivated over a Potential high / low pricing error or you will lose the BuyBox.

This is why you should carefully rethink whether you will provide this attribute on your existing listings and what figure will be entered as the List Price. 

On the other hand, List Price can be a good idea when you have an otherwise expensive product, which you intend to sell at a significant discount. It is then shown as a strike-through Recommended Retail Price making the savings visible on the product detail page. Displaying the RRP when you are offering a price that is below it, will help customers understand the value of your offer, which may help to increase conversion. 

If you do not have a ready-to-provide list price, Amazon suggests that a possible value could be the first price at which you have offered or will be offering the product. You can also provide a value of 0 to indicate that you do not have a list price.

Here you can view a copy of the wording of Amazon’s e-mail regarding the matter:

New requirement for list prices starts June 30

Hello,

You are receiving this email because you have previously added offers for certain product types that commonly include list prices.

Beginning June 30, 2023, we will require the “List price” (also referred to as a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) attribute to be completed for these product types. 

Your existing offers will not be affected by this change. Rather, when you create a new item listing, or when you edit an existing listing, you will see a prompt to fill out the “List price” attribute. 

If you do not have a ready-to-provide list price, a possible value could be the first price at which you have offered or will be offering the product. You can also provide a value of 0 to indicate that you do not have a list price.

For more information, go to “Product type and attributes”:
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/GYV2F6WS9N9FDYD9

You can download the full list of impacted product types from the following link:
