I have added all our products on the Amazon Seller centre and we are still classed as unavailable (non in stock) even though they are all active and are in stock.

Also I can't search for the products in the respective area, even typing the exact name (which is unique).

Currently on this:

Business and Contact Information Pending Verification
Primary Contact Person Information Pending Verification
Beneficial Owner Information Pending Verification

Also I seem to need to authorise myself as the Primary contact with a letter.

I also can't see to modify the shipping to set it to weights, at the moment multiple products are duplicating the postage which I don't want, at the moment, each Item is £9.95 delivery, were as it should be up to 6 items is £9.95, then on the 7th one we charge the £9.95 again. I have looked and can't find the locations that Amazon is trying to send me using their user guides.

Am I just on a waiting game now as everything else is verified (bank accounts, VAT, HQ location, etc).

Has anyone see this before or is it the usual thing?

How did you upload everything to Amazon? Did you do it manually online or did you use a CSV spreadsheet, etc.?

I did everything manually, by adding everything by hand and cloning the products one by one (only have 15) so CSV is not necessary.

I couldn't find a shipping matrix or example from Amazon, it showed a nice laid out GUI when going through FAQ, but I can't find this.

It took approx. 2 weeks to have our account verified and for everything to go live.
That was with me pestering them every day, they then held our payments for a week which was nice of them!!

It took us about 5 days to get everything sorted and our account up and running.

Have you integrated parcelhub yet or are you using Amazon FBA? http://www.parcelhub.co.uk/amazon-bulk-shipping-so...

We can't ship an order for the fba charge - we pay £3.50 a parcel they are much cheaper

Dont forget that you can charge a little more if you're FBA and still win the buy box. Can cover the extra costs...

Up to 10% but it varies however buyers are not soft and will sometimes order the seller fulfilled on the right wink

Issue we have now is that the registered address is with my Accountant, so providing them with a statement from the registered address in the company name and in our names is providing difficult and there is no direct phone line to Amazon to discuss with a normal human.

Have your accountant scan it and email it to you, then just upload it.
