Which is a problem because how can they hold the seller accountable when they co-mingle items?! They need to barcode and track every item sent in for co-mingling so they know exactly who to punish.
ADD: If the items are co-mingled and I send in a legit item, another seller sends in counterfeits, a buyer chooses my offering because I sell it for less or because I get better reviews, but the item is fulfilled by Amazon, and Amazon just grabs a random item from the SKU bin and sends the buyer the counterfeit item, there's a possibility that I get punished and blamed for something out of my control. Yes, I could pay more to not co-mingle but why should I have to pay to solve Amazon's problem? They either need to track all items sent in or require non co-mingling for everyone.
- ikeboy 9y agoAmazon keeps commingled items in separate bins. They know where problematic inventory comes from. As of now there's no extra charge to not commingle. There was a bonus offered last year to commingle, but not currently.
- jrs235 9y agoWhen did this change?
- ikeboy 9y agoI know it's been like that at least a year, I don't know for sure if they've tracked it since they launched the program. But basically they keep different inventory in different bins so they know who to blame if there's an issue. Just because they're shipping my goods for your sales doesn't mean they can't track whose goods it was.
