“Amazon Floods Sellers with Requests for Compliance Docs” (Source: eCommerceBytes)
- Last week, complaints skyrocketed from Amazon sellers being inundated with requests for compliance documentation on ASINs they sell.
- Some sellers say they’ve been getting “Action Required: Compliance requirements for your product listings” notices for weeks (or months).
- The notice says: listed products require you to provide compliance documentation, asking sellers to click on a link to see the list of affected products and submit the required compliance documents.
- If you do not submit the documents by the due date indicated for each product in this link, Amazon may begin to remove the affected listings.
- This requirement helps ensure products are compliant with local laws and safe for customers.
- If you do not believe that you need to submit documents for your products, click on the link to view your listings, click the “Provide Documentation ” button next to the product, and then click “Yes” on “Is this an Appeal?” question on the top left-hand side of the page.
- FOR FBA Offers: If you do not wish to continue selling the products concerned and have any inventory of these products remaining in Amazon fulfillment centers, you’ll have 30 days from the date your listing has been removed to create a removal order.
- If you do not request a removal, automated removal orders will be triggered. Standard removal fees apply.
