Repeated Unexplained Deductions Under "Other" – No Response from Amazon
Hi Everyone,
We've noticed that Amazon has been deducting a recurring "Other" transaction from our account three times now, yet we have received no explanation. Every month, a significant amount is being withdrawn under this vague category without any clear breakdown or justification.
This lack of transparency is extremely frustrating. Despite multiple attempts to reach out for clarification, we still haven’t received a proper response. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, were you able to get it resolved?
Amazon should clearly disclose the reason for these deductions instead of lumping them under ambiguous labels. Any insights or similar experiences from fellow sellers would be greatly appreciated!
Looking forward to your thoughts.
Thanks!

This is what Amazon said:
What are "Other" transactions in my Payments report?
"Other" transactions might show up in your Payments reports from time to time. Common transactions of this type include:
• Subscription fees, as described in your seller service agreement
• Charges associated with A-to-z Guarantee claims
• Corrections issued by Amazon to remedy an account discrepancy
Typically, a $39.99 "Other" transaction represents your monthly subscription fee for selling on Amazon.com. If your Payments report shows more than one $39.99 transaction of this type, it may be a carryover from an earlier settlement period when your sales were not sufficient to cover the monthly subscription fee.

HI, else can be ADJUSTMENTS from the shipping carrier either USPS or UPS extra scam charges, check for that, because that extra charges for me came from shipping unexcused adjustments from USPS

Check under the "transaction view" tag, you'll find the culprit there. If I had to guess, it''s from bogus shipping label adjustments. Many other sellers including myself have been experiencing this. Good luck

Yes that "Other" really sucks. I didn't see that coming and it is an unexpected cost that I have to consider passing on to customers. As far as shipping adjustments, I was told by Amazon that my shipping charges are too high. It is like playing footsie with an octopus .

do you use amazon buy shipping or another program? Because they may just be getting their shipping adjustments from you that they take for no reason from us that way. If you use amazon buy shipping Im sure you have noticed the adjustments that the dimensions and weight as exactly the same and yet they send you adjustments. Its basically a surcharge for selling here.

Hi there, CR here. I have responded to you over on your other thread here. In the future, please only create one thread per discussion as this can cause delay in support and confusion throughout the forum. Thank you for understanding.

Here is what the transaction view shows for both mischarges;
Seller_9jYZMo2jvtfO1
We have been fighting the same problem, thousands of dollars gone because of "Other" charges.
Turns out its FedEx stealing money on every order shipped. Amazon said call Fedex, Fedex said call Amazon.
The reason Amazon gave was that we have package dimensions as 4x4x12 and Fedex said its 12x4x4. Oddly enough when i make those pointless changes in dimensions the shipping cost does not change on Amazon or FedEx.com

We have faced the same issue and no response from support team and disbursement team. We have been scammed by Amazon company itself. Our account was deactivated and access to US marketplace removed. Later on we reported the issue to Federal Trade Commission and Luxembourg Police (since Amazon is registered in USA and Luxembourg) - and our access to US marketplace was restored. But when we got to the account - we noticed that Amazon did steal our funds of 2,093.63 USD which were firstly safely kept on account level reserve - but as per some magic from Amazon - they were transferred to Others. Our first request regarding the funds that were fraudulently taken out from our seller account level reserve was replied by disbursement team on Tue, Mar 18, 5:38 PM - and since then nobody has provided us a clear answers on how exactly did Amazon take this money out from our account, in accordance to which policy and where this money is right now. On March 18th we were advised to wait 5 and 10 business days to receive a reply or decision - but of course nobody has replied to us or provided explanation or evidence on how money was taken by Amazon. We have created a second request about the funds on Tue, Mar 25 and received a reply to wait 7–10 business days - and of course by now we have not received any reply, decision or evidence on how money was taken out from our seller account by Amazon.
With this all being said - we have created multiple reports to Federal Trade Commission and Luxembourg Police on such scam behavior and the investigation is already taken place. If any of you sellers have faced the same issue - collect all the proofs and evidence if possible and open FTC and Luxembourg police complaints, since we were informed if more reports will be made - the more chances on Amazon will receive sanctions and fees for such scam behavior.
