Need advice- Amazon refunded buyer $4500 despite signed delivery
Hey everyone, Iâm dealing with a frustrating situation as an Amazon seller and could use some advice. I sold a $4500 item on Amazon, and the buyer received it with signature confirmation under their full name. Everything seemed fine at first.
The original delivery deadline was Thursday, but the buyer wasnât home, so UPS redirected it to a local Access Point. He picked it up on Friday and signed for it there. The tracking clearly shows it was delivered and signed for.
Two weeks later, I randomly get an email saying Amazon refunded the buyer due to âunable to deliverââwhich makes no sense because it was delivered and signed for.
I opened a T-Claim with Amazon explaining everything, showed proof of delivery and signature, and it still got denied.
Now Iâm out $4500, the buyer has the item and the money, and Amazon isnât helping. Iâm wondering if the missed Thursday delivery deadline played a role(which I had zero control of) even though the package was picked up the next day.
Has anyone dealt with something similar or have any suggestions on what I can do next? Appreciate any help.

Selling on Smaller Amazon Marketplaces? (SE, NL, PL, ZA, SG, AE, etc)
I’m starting out with FBM on Amazon Sweden and realizing how different the dynamics are compared to bigger marketplaces. Since there’s no FBA warehouse in Sweden, most sellers seem to ship from German FBA centers, which adds delivery time and VAT complexity. Demand is less, but so is competition.
Interested in hearing how others are handling similar markets – Amazon.se, .nl, .pl, .eg, .ae, .sa, .sg, .co.za, or any others that I might have missed
- What’s your experience been like?
- Are these markets worth the effort for you?
- How are you approaching fulfillment and scaling?
Appreciate any insights or experiences. Always helpful to hear how others are approaching these less crowded markets.

Amazon Prime Day 2025: How Sellers Can Prepare for the 4-Day Event
More days. More buyers. More risk if youâre not ready.
Prime Day Isnât ExpandingâItâs Evolving
In 2025, Amazon isnât just extending Prime Day from 2 to 4 daysâtheyâre rewriting the seller playbook. This isnât about a couple of bonus sales days. Itâs a complete shift in strategy, buyer behavior, and platform dynamics.
For Amazon sellers, itâs both a massive opportunityâand a moment of make-or-break decisions.
Why 4 Days of Prime Day Changes Everything
Prime Day has always been a high-stakes sprint. Now, itâs a marathonâand your ability to pace, plan, and pivot will determine whether you scale profitably or stall out.
Hereâs what this shift signals:
Buyers need more time: Inflation is reshaping how people shop. A longer event allows more decision-making spaceâand more chances to re-engage.
Performance is cumulative: Success wonât hinge on hour-one momentum. Instead, sellers who optimize and adapt each day will win big.
The ad race lasts longer: Four days means higher budgets, shifting bids, and real-time ROI tracking.
Inventory burnout is real: Youâll need to stay stocked through 4 days of heavy sales AND the post-Prime halo week that follows.
2025 Prime Day Seller Deadlines You Canât Miss
Donât let critical deadlines slip past. Hereâs your Prime Day 2025 prep calendar:
Deadline |
||
| May 5 | Final day to submit Prime Exclusive Discounts | |
| May 23 | Final day to submit Best Deals and Lightning Deals | |
| June 9 | Deadline for FBA shipments using âminimal shipment splitsâ | |
| June 18 | Deadline for FBA shipments using âAmazon-optimized shipment splitsâ |
Expected Prime Day Dates: While not officially confirmed, sellers report Prime Day 2025 will likely run July 15â18.
Donât waitâget your discounts and inventory in the pipeline before these deadlines.
What Smart Sellers Are Doing Right Now
This isnât about âgetting readyââitâs about getting smart. Hereâs how top brands are already shifting their strategy for a longer, more intense Prime Day.
1. Pre-Prime Planning â Just Submitting Deals
The brands that dominate donât submit and waitâthey test, measure, and adjust before the clock even starts.
Which ASINs can support aggressive discounts and still hold margin?
Which listings need A+ refreshes, keyword boosts, or image upgrades?
Which SKUs are velocity-readyâand which are dead weight?
With Seller Labs, sellers are:
- Analyzing SKU-level profitability and sales trends to identify which products can support promotions without sacrificing margins
- Monitoring ad performance and adjusting bids across campaigns to maximize ROAS
- Tracking inventory levels and receiving restock recommendations to avoid stockouts during high-demand periods
2. Inventory Is Not OptionalâItâs a Leverage Point
Running out of stock by Day 3 wonât just cost you sales. It kills ad efficiency and tanked listings can lose momentum for weeks.
Top sellers are:
- Modeling sales curves over 4 days + a 5â10 day halo
- Splitting inventory smartly across fulfillment paths
- Use the Seller Labs Restock App to forecast inventory needs and prevent stockouts during Prime Day and the halo period

3. Go Beyond DiscountsâDial in Relevance
Prime Day visibility is earned, not given.
Add fresh keywords tied to trending customer searches
Build bundles around Prime Day-specific behavior: âback-to-school,â âearly holidayâ
Position your listings to benefit from mid-event search trends
Seller Labs Ad Genius helps brands optimize bids, monitor campaign performance, and improve ad spend efficiency across Sponsored Products and Sponsored Brands campaigns
Why Data-Driven Sellers Will Own This Prime Day
Amazonâs 4-day event isnât forgiving. The sellers who watch performance daily, adapt in real time, and optimize as they go will outperform those who set-it-and-forget-it.
Measure daily ROAS
Adjust bids hourly based on cost spikes
Identify drop-offs before they tank conversions
With Seller Labs Genius Bundle Dashboard, youâre making decisions with dataânot guesswork.
Final Thought: Prime Day Isnât Just LongerâItâs Smarter
Amazon didnât just extend Prime Day. They gave sellers a bigger playing fieldâand higher stakes.
If you want to win in 2025, you donât need to go all in. You need to go in with precision.
And with Seller Labs, youâll have the tools to:
- Spot the best deals before your competitors do
- Automate tedious tasks so you can scale fast
- Adapt like a pro in a longer, more complex selling window
Ready to Prime Up and Sell Smarter?
Seller Labs helps sellers turn data into profit and Prime Day into a growth opportunity.

Trying to set up a new seller account: won’t let me
So I’ve set up a store previously. And i’m not working with that store anymore. But when I log in to Amazon Seller Central, it asks me which of my accounts I’d like to use: then it lists the previous account (Business 1), but it does not give me the option to start a new business.
How do I start a new account for Business 2 with my Amazon Seller Central Acccount?
