Amazon.com announced Thursday it was increasing certain shipping credits for sellers. On May 14th, new postal rates went into effect in the US. Amazon had adjusted shipping credit for videos to international destinations to $6.89, which was inadequate to cover overseas shipments. In a thread on the Seller Soapbox discussion board, sellers had begun reporting that they were halting international sales of videos due to the high rates (http://www.amazonsellercommunity.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=134871 ).
On Thursday, Amazon.com posted its decision to increase shipping credits for VHS International from $6.89 to $12.29 as of May 23 at 11pm Pacific.
