Hello Amazon Seller,
Upcoming Removal of Comments Feature on Reviews
I am quite stunned by this announcement. And it has happened so suddenly with no warning from Amazon. I like the comments under the product reviews. I read them sometimes and even click when it is helpful.
|
|
Amazon has stated that they are retiring this feature on December 16, 2020. I looked on the first product that came up on the Amazon home page and the comments and the ability to comment is still there. So I will watch this page to see when or if comments disappear.

|
|
Customers obviously like and use the feature. And sellers use it for providing help and information about their products to both present and future buyers.
|
Being able to reply to reviews is an important outlet for sellers when improper reviews are left on a product.
|
Below is a link to the thread in SellerCentral. I guess there are several threads as sellers are pretty upset about it, but this was the first one I found.

Here’s what Amazon told sellers in Tuesday’s announcement:

You may have noticed since our last Marketplace Tax Collection (MTC) update that we’ve expanded from 32 states and the District of Columbia to an additional 11 states and Puerto Rico. When items are shipping to any MTC jurisdiction, you may see sales tax calculations made by Amazon, on your orders, at no cost to you. Taxes collected by Amazon are shown with the order details and in various Seller Central reports. Amazon remits (as the taxpayer) all taxes collected as MTC to the appropriate tax authority.
|
|
Our newest jurisdictions are:
|
As always, please work with your tax advisor to help identify any changes to your business and tax reporting in these states. Visit our Marketplace Tax Collection FAQ 32 that contains state-specific details and your Amazon reporting options.

Amazon sellers worry they can’t meet holiday demand as the company limits warehouse space
Who didn't see this coming?
|
- Amazon in August instituted limits on product shipments from third-party sellers who use its U.S. warehouses in an effort to make sure it had enough space to store all their goods for the holidays.
- But third-party sellers say they can’t restock products quickly enough, causing them to run out of inventory and lose out on some holiday sales.
