Customer service metrics now earn Account Health Rating points

FYI In force 2026-07-10 US · UK · DE · FR · IT · ES

Buyer contact rate, response time and buyer dissatisfaction now feed the AHR score for FBM sellers. Underperformance cannot suspend you on its own.

What changed

From 2026-07-10 sellers enrolled in FBM can earn points toward the Account Health Rating through Buyer Contact Rate, Average Contact Response Time and Buyer Dissatisfaction Rate. Amazon states it will not restrict selling privileges because of below-average performance on these metrics.

Who it catches

FBM sellers enrolled in Account Health Rating.

What to do

Nothing is required. It is an upside-only signal: good service buys back AHR headroom that a policy strike would otherwise consume.
