Hey everyone,

I’m currently in the process of submitting a trademark application for our brand, which specialises in hand tools. However, I recently found that there’s already a brand with the same name, but they sell paints – a completely different product category.

If I secure a pending or approved trademark in the UK, would Amazon still reject my application for Brand Registry because of the existing brand with a similar name in a different industry?

I’d really appreciate any insights or experiences from those who’ve faced similar situations. Thanks in advance.

From surprise fees to inventory just disappearing into the abyss, FBA is always an adventure. What’s the most absurd, frustrating, or ridiculous thing you’ve had to deal with?

Our company used to be able to create new items on Amazon Seller Central so easily and now we cannot create anything without getting a 8572 error code.

They keep asking us for GS1 certificates and letters of affiliation that we keep providing and then they give us a simple answer like “use this brand name”, I attempt to do that, another error, and then having to resubmit these certificates and letters to get a dumb answer that doesn’t work. Anyone experience this?

I’ll preface with this by I am not a full time seller, more so it is just side income to pay for more toys. Today I noticed that my Sales Today so Far are at $80, but the Orders today (I’ve not shipped since yesterday morning) show at 2 orders both with qty 1. These items are both $20 items so in reality my sales for today are $40. Is this just a bug, a failed pending orders issue, or something else? I’m worried I’m somehow missing these other 2 orders though I can’t see them and I’ve checked all my screen filters.

Hi,

Amazon just changed its VTR policy in Europe for cross-border shipments. The policy is not clear and I have read conflicting statements and also answers from seller support.

Can someone please tell me the VTR policy for Cross-border shipments for orders below €20 if deliveries are between the UK and UNITED STATES?

I am trying to determine if Cross-border shipments specifically shipments to the UK from UNITED STATES are ALSO exempt from VTR if shipped using a ‘letter’ method if value is below €20?

This method is allowed for shipments to and from the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Poland, Austria, Sweden, or Belgium below €20 (including shipping, excluding VAT) and are exempt from VTR if shipped using a ‘letter’ method but it does not specifically mention United States.

I read on an Amazon Seller forum where Julia_Amzn stated “deliveries between the UK and USA (and vise versa) are not part of the EU VTR policy.”

Has anyone else shipped orders from the United States to the UK or other European countries that meet the criteria mentioned above? If so, how has your valid VTR (Valid Tracking Rate) metric been performing? Have you encountered any challenges or noticed any trends in maintaining compliance with tracking requirements?
