Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – VTR Suspension Appeals
What is Amazon's Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) Policy?
Amazon’s Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) requires sellers to provide valid tracking for at least 95% of orders. Non-compliance may result in listing restrictions or account suspension.
What happens if my VTR drops below 95%?
If your VTR drops below 95%, Amazon may limit your ability to sell in certain categories or suspend your account entirely.
What causes a VTR violation on Amazon?
VTR violations occur due to missing or invalid tracking numbers, using non-approved carriers, uploading tracking too late, or falsely confirming shipment.
How do I fix my Valid Tracking Rate?
You can improve your VTR by using Amazon-approved carriers, uploading tracking immediately after shipment, and ensuring all orders are properly fulfilled and scanned in transit.
How do I appeal a VTR suspension?
Appeal by submitting a Plan of Action that outlines the cause of the violation, corrective steps taken, and measures to prevent recurrence. AMZ Sellers Attorney® can prepare your appeal for maximum effectiveness.
What should a Plan of Action for a VTR suspension include?
Your POA should include: (1) explanation of the VTR failure; (2) corrective actions you've implemented; and (3) steps to prevent future violations.
What carriers are supported by Amazon for VTR compliance?
Amazon supports major carriers like USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and select regional couriers. Use carriers with integrated tracking to avoid VTR penalties.
Can I use Amazon Buy Shipping to avoid VTR issues?
Yes. Amazon Buy Shipping automatically provides valid tracking and ensures compliance with Amazon’s carrier requirements, helping you maintain a healthy VTR.
Does FBA affect my VTR?
No. Orders fulfilled through Amazon FBA do not impact your Valid Tracking Rate, as Amazon handles the tracking and shipping process.
What happens if I repeatedly violate Amazon’s VTR policy?
Repeated VTR violations may result in loss of selling privileges, permanent suspension from specific categories, or full account termination.
