Forums - Sales Discussion - Amazon US Monthly bestsellers tracking thread November - Updated 29/11 - GTAV bundle in at 17

Again... Amazon don't track third-party sellers in the best selling list.

It is not responsibility of Amazon lol... it is not even sold or shipped by Amazon.

I have a seller account on amazon and they only track third party stuff fulfilled by amazon. If you ship yourself it's not in hourly tracking


Hmm sounds logical

I don't think Amazon ranking tracks third-party sellers... when you have only third-party sellers the item didn't show in the hourly.

They do.  That is why when Sunset Overdrive Bundle sold out it was still being ranked though it dropped as it was being sold at a higher price


If there stuff isn't fulfilled by amazon it isn't in hourly. I know as I had to agree to the seller agreement for my account

You're right it will be fixed but you cant fulfill something within an hour and you cant prove it wasnt fulfilled within an hour either.  As i said previously, i expect Amazon will have this fixed relatively quickly, but third parties are counted towards hourly

At least we'll know the monthly/weekly rankings then.

Not unless that third party has decided to fulfill by amazon. I'm 100% sure of this and if you'd like to check just start a seller account and read the agreement. It doesn't cost so you can just delete it thereafter.

Im about 100% sure i dont 100% believe you ;P

Here is the guidelines(agreement) which doesnt say anything about being ranked hourly http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=1161302

And as shown before with multiple sources (and now confirmed with the 1400% increase and #1 which even Destiny Bundle wasnt possible with) Amazon does track third party sellers.  

However, id find it extremely odd if there is a guideline anywhere that lists anything about hourly rankings as nobody follows them other than gamers when in reality theyre there to show consumers what is hot at that moment.  I mean why would Amazon have that in the agreements in the first place

Xbone needs to drop the price again or else they will keep losing.  When will they drop the price??  How low can it go??



So much for "3rd party sellers aren't tracked"
