- Fulfill Orders
- Manage Inventory
- Product Safety and Compliance
- Manage Your Brand
- Grow Your Business
- Manage Buyer Experience
- Account Health
- News and Announcements
- Community Connections
Whenever I met any issues about selling [in the Amazon store], I went to [the] seller forums. It is super valuable for me as a new seller.
Amazon Seller Forums vs. help content vs. support
Amazon offers three main ways to get help: forums, help content—like articles and videos—and dedicated support. Each are designed for different needs. Understanding where to find answers can save you time and help you solve challenges faster.
Here’s when to use each resource:
| Resource | Best for | Examples |
| Amazon Seller Forums | Getting help from the seller community and learning from others’ experiences | Proven solutions Best practices Tips on metrics Policy updates Non-urgent strategy questions |
| Amazon help content | Finding official information through help articles, blog posts, news updates, and Seller University courses | Step-by-step guides Basic processes Common questions Training materials |
| Amazon seller support | Getting immediate attention from Amazon | Account issues Payment concerns Technical problems Time-sensitive matters |
How Amazon Seller Forums can help your business succeed
Here’s how the forums bring together seller experience and Amazon expertise in one useful resource:
What’s included
The forums offer:

I’ve been working on my brand app for months, sent a prayer out for help in the forums, and got some help from [community members]. They pointed me in the right direction, and I would like to report, mission accomplished! Thank you!
How it helps
This combination of resources means you can find answers quickly, learn from others’ experiences, and stay current with Amazon’s latest updates. And the active monitoring by community managers ensures you get accurate information.
For example, when a seller in Detroit discovers a more efficient way to handle returns, sellers in Denver and Dallas can benefit too. Or when someone in Miami finds a new way to reduce shipping costs, the entire community gains that knowledge.

Unlike other forums, Amazon Seller Forums gives sellers free, direct access to:
- Discussions by Amazon sellers across global marketplaces
- A dedicated space to connect and grow together
- Immediate updates or policy changes directly from Amazon
- Forum-exclusive sweepstakes and events
What this means for you
When you tap into the collective wisdom of experienced sellers and Amazon experts, your business can grow faster and stronger. Here’s what you’ll gain:
- Save time by using solutions that already work.
- Learn proven strategies instead of testing everything yourself.
- Make confident decisions based on real seller experiences.
- Stay ahead of policy changes that affect your business.
These forums helped us out a lot in the beginning and still do.
