I’ve partnered with a company that wants to connect a third-party app to our Amazon Seller account. They’re asking for administrative access, but I’m hesitant to grant full admin rights without understanding if it’s actually necessary.

Does anyone know what level of permission is really required to connect most 3rd-party tools (like analytics or ad platforms)? Can this typically be done with limited permissions via user roles or token-based access?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s dealt with this before—trying to balance security with functionality.

I have a 2 product store (2 different private label products) that has generated 54k revenue in past 12 months. Roughly 40% of that being profit. However there have been large swaths of time with low sales just due to this is being my first FBA business and being rly rly bad with inventory management. So I run out of stock and am out for months and lose all rank and have to rebuilt rank.

Would you price the business taking into account the potential for profit that I simply missed out on or price it at what it’s done. If I had simply stayed in stock that could mean an extra 10k or more of profit over the last 12 months.

I’m selling because I don’t see FBA as my career and need to focus fully on my actual career.

I manufacture one product and as of now it is only available to purchase on my website. I am considering listing it on Amazon too (nowhere else) — and I just went through the process of setting up a Seller Account and Brand Management.

The problem is… I have to set a higher price on Amazon to cover their fees, and I just read that Amazon does not like when Sellers sell for cheaper elsewhere, and that they penalize Sellers for this by making it harder for customers to buy from you. However, all the stories I read involved products that multiple sellers offered, which is not the case for me.

QUESTION: If I undersell the Amazon price on my website, will Amazon still remove the BUY Button on my Amazon listing even if I’m the only seller on Amazon offering the product? Or worse — will Amazon remove or hide my listing, or make it impossible to find?

Honestly, I just want to list the product on Amazon for the exposure; I don’t expect anyone to buy it at that higher price. But if Amazon is going to make it so no one can buy my product, or even see my listing, then why should I pay them $468 a year ($39/month) to list my product there?

Hello again…

I sell my own product on Amazon, I have brand registry. No one else sells it. It is a unique product. I use speedy barcodes in the UK, I want to sell in the US and have opened my seller account / got brand registry. I will be starting the listing from scratch – can I use GS1 barcodes or do the UK and US account barcodes need to match? Will it present a problem later on if then don’t match? I am the owner of the product, I manufacture it, it’s my branding etc.

The product listings will be slightly different because of the descriptions (tailored to US) and also sizing (tailored to US).

Thank you!

Hey fellow sellers,

I’m facing a weird issue and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

I’ve been selling a particular ASIN (Okaya brand) on Amazon India. Everything was fine until April 28th, when I suddenly received an email from Amazon asking me to submit a Transparency serial number for the product.

I checked with the Okaya (brand) team, and they have no idea about any Transparency codes. What’s more confusing is that other sellers are still selling the same ASIN without any issue or code submission requirement.

• I’ve already listed and sold a few units in April without problems. • No brand gating or performance warnings on my account. • I’ve submitted valid purchase invoices in the past. 

Is Amazon selectively enforcing Transparency code requirements? Or is this a system glitch? Would appreciate any insights from sellers who’ve faced something similar.

Thanks in advance!
