Changes made to your account? We'll tell you right away

Early detection of fraud is critical to overcoming it. If someone changes your email address in Notification Preferences in an effort to commit fraud, Amazon will let you know right away. We'll send an email to the original account asking if you made this change and provide you with contact information for the Seller Performance team if you didn't.

Create the best product images with Photo Studio

With the Photo Studio feature in the free Amazon Seller mobile app, you can capture, retouch, and submit product photos using your mobile device. Before you submit any images, Photo Studio lets you know if they meet Amazon's image requirements and offers ideas on how to fix any issues.

Sell around the world hassle-free

As an FBA seller, you can increase sales by offering your products around the world through the FBA Export program. When you choose FBA Export, Amazon will identify which products are export-eligible, take care of the export process, and fulfill the order. The customer pays for the shipping and import country custom duty, so there's no extra cost to you. You send your products to your regular Fulfillment Centers in the U.S. and Amazon will take care of the rest.

Give the people what they want: customized products

Customers can now create and order personalized products, choosing from any combination of options you provide to build the exact custom product they want. Whether it's adding images to coffee cups or names to dog tags, you no longer have to create hundreds of unique ASINs to represent your products. With one consolidated listing, Amazon Custom offers your customers a host of flexible product choices.

Policy updates

Change to approval process for Health & Personal Care products

 

If you want to start selling products in the Health and Personal Care product category, you only need to apply to sell in these six categories: Dietary Supplements, OTC Medication, Medical Supplies, Baby Food and Formula, Contraceptives, and Feminine Hygiene. If you're already selling in these categories, you don't need to take further action. If you want to sell a Health and Personal Care product that falls outside of the six categories listed above, you don't need to apply.

Buyers can opt out of receiving unsolicited emails from sellers

 

If a buyer chooses to opt out, a message will show up on Seller Central as "undelivered." You'll also receive a bounce email stating that the buyer has opted out of receiving your email. If you believe that your message is critical to completing an order, you can follow the instructions listed on the Buyer-Seller Messaging FAQ page to ensure your message gets to your buyer.
