It's insane how terrible Amazon backend is. This issue has been open for over a month and still not resolved. Is it incompetence, or does Amazon just not care?
Hi @amznsellerhelp I am facing this issue for the past 1 month. What will it take for your team to permanently solve this. This is a serious hindrance for Australian Small Businesses. This issue is even logdged with the ACCC now. Please act!!!

Serious seller issue with Amazon Australia and no real resolution for weeks. My brand TINY BAE is an FBA-only private label brand. My product is sold ONLY on Amazon Australia and nowhere else. Yet Amazon keeps suppressing my Buy Box and saying my...
In 2006, my brother was doing his PhD.
Topic: Bovine AIDS.
Institute: a university in Mathura.
Coursework: HSADL, Bhopal, India’s top animal disease lab.
Then bird flu happened.
Suddenly, HSADL became the lab.
And suddenly, my brother was told to drop 1.5 years of research and switch topics.
Not because science demanded it.
Because the system did.
The deal was simple:
Change your topic, or lose your stipend.
He called me and said,
“I love my research. I don’t want to work on what babus want.”
For once, I didn’t give gyaan.
I gave him an exit.
“Apply outside India. Let’s see if anyone values your work.”
He applied to 8 universities.
7 in Australia, 1 in Europe.
Within hours, 7 offers came back.
5 with full scholarships and stipends.
The 8th replied three days later.
The professor was at a conference.
That’s it. That was the delay.
Why?
Because his CV was ridiculously good:
•17 international publications
•1 book
•54 national publications
•103 reviews
He went to Europe.
Finished his PhD.
Got a Post-Doc in Texas.
Applied for a Green Card.
Got it in 2 months.
Citizenship the moment he was eligible.
Still, he wanted to come back.
Because India is home & hope dies slowly.
In 2011, he applied for a professor’s job at JNKVV, Jabalpur.
Salary: ₹40,000/month.
They asked for hard copies of all publications.
I still remember packing a full carton of his papers and couriering it.
Then, on July 8, we got a letter dated July 6.
Interview: July 10. In person.
Bring:
•NOC from his current university
•Character certificate
•Hard copies again
Because “what if interviewers want to see?”
I called them.
“How does someone fly from Europe in two days?”
Answer:
“Interviews are till 12th. He must come.”
That was the moment we stopped trying.
India wasn’t rejecting him.
India was humiliating him.
Later, when he sent his HSADL work to Elsevier, the journal did a routine verification.
HSADL replied saying:
•He left without due process
•His stipend wasn’t settled
•His address was false
We sent:
•No Dues Certificate
•Formal relieving letter
•Proof that the address was the same as his passport
•Proof that our parents still live there
Didn’t matter.
Publication rejected.
That’s the system.
We happily talk about reservations. But we quietly harass competence.
And before someone says, “Things have changed under Modi” no, they haven’t.
I tried in 2023.
Same hard copies.
Same physical interviews.
I now work as a visiting professor with an IIT. Online.
My reimbursement request has been pending since August 2023.
The professor in charge says,
“I get 100 mails a day. I don’t check all.”
Fair enough.
This country doesn’t lack talent. It lacks respect for it.
And the smartest people don’t leave India for money. They leave to save their dignity
Yet another beautiful song from Maatibaani! I was just wondering today if they have released any new songs off late on YouTube and they released one a few hours back 😁

By now, half the world has realised that @JNJNews’s ORSL isn’t ORS; here comes @drreddys’ VIT ORS. @fssaiindia, why do you even exist? Unethical companies cheating customers and hiding behind fine print nobody would even read.

What a sad day, foreign secretary had to protect his account because he and his daughter were receiving hate. Not from Pak but our own "nationalists" . The man was just doing his job and following orders from the Govt. And he did that with professionalism
You can immediately feel the need for a credible, global, media company to represent India at a global scale. This needs money, strategic thinking. Between the fake news outfits of old media barons and a Western publication that does not get it, the country is poorly served.
Hopefully, India's willingness+ability to strike deep into Pak and their inability to do the same against our defence systems will re-calibrate their strategy. Hopefully, thru back channel mediation, we've also extracted guarantees.
Now to ask our own govt abt Pahalgam, no?
