Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about CES services, pricing, account reactivation, account health, reinstatement, advertising, product listings, Brand Store work, training and payments.
General
Where is Chandra Ecom Solutions located?
Chandra Ecom Solutions operates from Vikas Nagar, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh and provides Amazon seller services to businesses across India.
Do you provide services outside Lucknow?
Yes. Most CES consulting, account, catalogue, advertising, training and appeal-support services can be delivered remotely across India.
How do I start with CES?
Share your requirement through the contact form, phone, email or WhatsApp. CES reviews the need, confirms the appropriate service scope and explains the next step before work begins.
Will CES need my Seller Central password or OTP?
No. Do not share passwords or OTPs. Where account access is required, use Amazon-supported user permissions or another approved access method.
Does CES guarantee sales, ranking, Buy Box or Amazon approvals?
No. Marketplace results and platform decisions depend on Amazon systems, seller operations, competition, demand and other factors. CES provides professional support but cannot guarantee a specific platform outcome.
Seller Onboarding
Who is Seller Onboarding for?
It is designed for new sellers, offline businesses moving online, brands preparing their first Amazon launch and existing accounts that still need setup or launch-readiness support.
Is Seller Onboarding free?
Yes. CES currently offers Seller Onboarding with a ₹0 professional service fee. The offer includes up to 100 Brand Listings and 3 Months Account Management within the stated scope; work outside that scope may be quoted separately.
What information or documents are usually required?
Requirements can include PAN, bank information, GST details where applicable, pickup/business address, product information, brand details and any category-specific documents Amazon requires.
Do you help with initial product listings?
Basic listing readiness can be included in the onboarding scope. Detailed listing creation, optimization or larger catalogue work may be handled under Product Listing & Cataloguing.
Can CES help with GTIN, category or brand-related guidance?
Guidance can be provided where relevant, but Amazon independently controls GTIN exemptions, category approvals, Brand Registry and related eligibility decisions.
Does CES guarantee that Amazon will approve the seller account?
No. CES assists with preparation and process guidance, while Amazon makes all final approval and eligibility decisions.
Can this service be delivered remotely?
Yes. Seller onboarding support can be delivered remotely to sellers across India.
Account Management
What is included in Account Management?
Existing listing edits, up to 50 new listings per month, advertising management with weekly optimisation, Account Health and Seller Central operations, suspension appeals and reinstatement support are included. You receive one monthly performance report; a monthly review call is optional.
How are the monthly charges calculated?
The slab is based on previous-month sales before returns: up to ₹2 lakh: ₹5,000 + GST; above ₹2 lakh–₹4 lakh: ₹6,000 + GST; above ₹4 lakh–₹10 lakh: ₹7,000 + GST; above ₹10 lakh–₹15 lakh: ₹8,000 + GST. Above ₹15 lakh before returns, the fee is 1% of sales after deducting returns, plus GST, with no minimum.
What if returns bring sales below ₹15 lakh?
If sales before returns exceeded ₹15 lakh, the 1% rule still applies to sales after returns. For example, ₹16 lakh before returns and ₹14 lakh after returns means ₹14,000 + GST; the account does not move to the ₹8,000 slab.
How does the introductory offer work?
Only new account-management clients qualify. Pay two months’ fees plus GST in advance and receive the third month’s account-management service free. The starting monthly fee remains fixed during all three months even if the sales slab changes. Separately charged work and seller-paid expenses remain payable.
What do additional listings cost?
Up to 50 new listings per month are included. Each additional listing costs ₹20 + GST.
Is advertising management included?
Yes. Amazon advertising management and weekly campaign review and optimisation are included. Amazon advertising spend is paid separately by the seller.
How often will I receive reports and review calls?
You receive one performance report each month. A monthly review call is optional.
Are A+ Content, Brand Store and creative work included?
These are charged separately: A+ Content creation, Brand Store creation and design, product images, banners and other creative designs.
Is suspension appeal and reinstatement support included?
Yes. Suspension appeals and reinstatement support are included in Account Management. The seller must provide genuine documents and cooperate with the case review. Amazon makes the final reinstatement decision; no outcome is guaranteed.
Who is responsible for inventory, dispatch and compliance?
The seller provides inventory, fulfilment, packaging, product quality, accurate information and supporting documents, and remains responsible for legal/category compliance.
What happens if an invoice is overdue?
Services may be paused if an invoice remains unpaid beyond the applicable payment period. Outstanding amounts remain payable under the agreed billing terms.
Account Reactivation / Re-Start
What is Amazon Account Reactivation / Re-Start?
It is structured support for an accessible seller account where selling activity became inactive, dormant or paused and the business now needs operational preparation before selling resumes.
Who can use the free Account Reactivation / Re-Start service?
CES currently offers Account Re-Start with a ₹0 professional service fee. The service is for active and accessible seller accounts that need to resume selling; suspended or deactivated accounts requiring an appeal are handled under Seller Reinstatement.
Is Account Reactivation / Re-Start free?
Yes. CES currently offers the Re-Start service with a ₹0 professional service fee. It includes up to 100 Brand Listings and 3 Months Account Management within the stated scope. Additional work outside the included scope may be quoted separately.
Is Account Reactivation the same as Seller Reinstatement?
No. Re-Start is for an accessible account that needs to restart operations. Reinstatement is for suspension, deactivation or another enforcement issue that requires an appeal or corrective response.
What does CES review before a restart?
We can review Account Health, catalogue status, inactive or suppressed listings, inventory, fulfilment readiness, pricing, offers and previous advertising activity before building a restart plan.
Can CES help decide which products should be relaunched first?
Yes. A restart plan can prioritize products that are operationally ready and commercially suitable instead of switching the entire catalogue back on at once.
Can old Amazon ad campaigns be restarted?
We review historical campaigns first. Depending on relevance and performance, they may be restarted, modified, paused or replaced with a new structure.
Can CES help with FBA or fulfilment readiness during reactivation?
Fulfilment readiness can be reviewed as part of the restart assessment, including stock availability and whether MFN/FBA operations are ready for renewed demand.
Does Account Reactivation guarantee sales?
No. The service prepares the account for a structured restart, but sales depend on product demand, competition, price, stock, delivery, listing quality, customer trust and advertising performance.
Account Health Management
What is Account Health Management?
It is a monthly service for active Amazon seller accounts that need Account Health monitoring plus practical Seller Central operational support. Advertising and promotional campaign management are excluded.
What is the current Account Health Management price?
The approved fee is ₹7,000 + GST per month.
What is included during the active engagement?
Within the agreed workload and scope, CES can monitor Account Health and policy notifications, support Seller Central operations, work on new listings, review enforcement notices, help with appeals/case responses and follow up important account issues.
Does it include Amazon Advertising?
No. Advertising and promotional campaign management are not included in Account Health Management. Amazon Advertising or Complete Account Management may be more suitable if ad management is required.
What if my account is already suspended before I start the service?
An account that is already suspended or deactivated and needs reinstatement work is normally handled under the separate Seller Reinstatement service.
What if a suspension happens while Account Health Management is active?
If a suspension or appeal issue arises during the active Account Health Management engagement, CES can support the appeal/case work within the active agreed scope.
Does CES guarantee that the account will remain healthy or active?
No. Amazon controls policy enforcement and account decisions, while seller operations and product compliance also affect Account Health.
Seller Reinstatement
What types of reinstatement cases can CES review?
Support can include account suspensions, deactivations, policy issues, performance problems, authenticity/document requests, intellectual-property complaints, verification matters and listing-level enforcement depending on the case.
Do you prepare a Plan of Action?
Yes, where a Plan of Action is appropriate. It should be specific to the actual issue and address root cause, corrective actions and preventive measures rather than using a generic template.
What documents may be required?
Depending on the case, relevant records may include invoices, supplier details, authorization letters, identity/business documents, product or packaging photographs, tracking information, compliance documents and previous Amazon correspondence.
Can CES guarantee reinstatement?
No. Amazon independently makes reinstatement decisions. CES provides case analysis, document guidance and appeal support.
How long can reinstatement take?
Amazon does not provide one universal response timeline. The time depends on the enforcement reason, evidence required and Amazon review process.
What is the CES Seller Reinstatement fee?
The current professional service fee is ₹5,000 + GST, subject to the written case scope and service terms.
How does the 45-day / 50% refund condition work?
The service period is up to 45 days. If the account remains unreinstated at the end of the applicable service period, 50% of the professional service fee may be refundable subject to the written conditions, seller cooperation and scope limitations. GST is non-refundable.
Should I submit separate appeals while CES is working on my case?
Coordinate all submissions with the CES team during the engagement so duplicate or contradictory appeals are avoided.
Amazon Advertising
Which Amazon ad formats can CES manage?
Depending on eligibility and strategy, support can include Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display and video advertising.
Can CES audit my existing campaigns before creating new ones?
Yes. We can review current campaign structure, targeting, search terms, spend, sales, bids, budgets and placement performance before deciding what should be retained, changed or rebuilt.
Do you research keywords and competitor products?
Yes. Campaign planning can use keyword/search-term research, competitor product targeting, category targeting and own-ASIN defensive opportunities based on the product and account strategy.
What does ongoing advertising optimization include?
Depending on scope, optimization can include bid changes, budget allocation, placement review, search-term harvesting, negative targeting, campaign restructuring and scaling of proven targets.
Is Amazon ad spend included in the CES management fee?
No. Amazon advertising spend is funded separately by the seller and paid through Amazon advertising systems.
Can CES create or use video ads?
Video advertising can be used where the account, brand and campaign type are eligible and a suitable video asset is available or separately produced.
How are ACoS, ROAS and TACoS used?
These metrics can guide optimization alongside conversion rate, CPC, CTR, total sales, inventory and product economics. The most relevant targets depend on the seller objective and margins.
Can CES guarantee a fixed ACoS, ROAS or sales level?
No. Advertising outcomes also depend on listing quality, price, reviews, competition, demand, stock, fulfilment and Amazon marketplace systems.
Product Listing & Cataloguing
What are the current Product Listing charges?
1–20 listings: ₹1,000 + GST total; 21–50 listings: ₹50 + GST per SKU; 51–100 listings: ₹25 + GST per SKU; 101 or more listings: ₹15 + GST per SKU.
What counts as one listing or SKU?
The count is based on the product/SKU submissions included in the agreed scope. Variation structures and catalogue complexity are reviewed before final confirmation.
Are parent and child variations counted separately?
Variation work can require multiple child SKUs and additional catalogue handling. CES confirms the applicable count and scope before work begins.
What information does CES need from the seller?
Accurate product data, mandatory category information, MRP/legal details where applicable, images/source files and existing ASIN/variation context are normally required.
Can CES optimize existing listings?
Yes. Existing listings can be reviewed for title, bullet points, descriptions, search terms, attributes and catalogue structure.
Are product images included in the listing charge?
Image creation or editing is included only when it is specifically part of the agreed project scope.
Can listing work guarantee ranking or sales?
No. Listing quality is one factor; pricing, stock, delivery, reviews, competition and advertising also affect visibility and conversion.
Trademark Registration
Who can use the standard Trademark Registration plans?
The current Silver and Gold pricing applies to Proprietor / Individual applicants filing trademarks in India. Partnership, LLP, Company, Startup or other entity types can contact CES for a custom quote.
What is the difference between a Word Mark and a Logo / Device Mark?
A Word Mark is filed for the brand name or wording itself, while a Logo / Device Mark protects the specific visual logo or device representation submitted with the application. CES can support either type under the standard plan pricing.
Is a trademark search included?
Yes. Both plans include a preliminary pre-filing trademark search / availability check and trademark class identification. The search is preliminary and does not guarantee acceptance or registration.
How quickly will CES file the application?
CES aims to prepare and file the application within 1–2 working days after complete documents and payment are received. This filing turnaround is separate from the overall Trade Marks Registry processing timeline.
How long does trademark registration take?
There is no fixed registration timeline that CES can guarantee. Overall timing depends on Trade Marks Registry examination and may be extended by objections, hearings, opposition or other Registry actions.
What does the Silver Plan include for objections?
Silver includes one standard objection / examination reply per application. Any further reply, hearing or additional Registry/government-side query is chargeable separately.
What does the Gold Plan include for objections and hearings?
Gold includes standard objection replies, hearings arising from the application and standard Trademark Registry / government-side queries. Third-party opposition, rectification, court matters and other separate legal proceedings are excluded and quoted separately if required.
What happens after filing?
CES shares the application acknowledgement / filing receipt and trademark application number. The customer can then track the application status, while objection or Registry-query work is handled according to the selected plan.
Can I use the ™ and ® symbols?
The ™ symbol can be used to indicate a claimed trademark. The ® symbol should only be used once the trademark is actually registered.
Does filing a trademark guarantee Amazon Brand Registry?
No. Trademark filing / registration and Amazon Brand Registry are separate processes. Amazon independently determines Brand Registry eligibility and approval. CES can provide Brand Registry assistance as a separate service when the trademark reaches an eligible stage.
Is the fee refundable?
The Trademark Registration service fee is non-refundable once the application process has started.

Amazon Fee Calculator
Is the Amazon India Fee Calculator an exact settlement calculator?
No. The CES Amazon India Fee Calculator provides an estimate based on the category, selling price, fulfilment method, weight and other inputs you enter. Actual Amazon charges can vary by the exact ASIN category, programme eligibility, account-level adjustments, dimensions, delivery zone and other Amazon rules.
Why can the calculator show a 0% referral fee?
Some Amazon India fee categories and selling-price slabs can legitimately have a 0% referral fee. The calculator applies the configured category and price slab, but sellers should confirm the exact category and current fee treatment in Seller Central.
What does estimated receivable mean in the calculator?
Estimated receivable is the amount left after the Amazon charges estimated by the calculator. It is not the same as profit and does not automatically deduct product cost, advertising, returns, TDS/TCS or other seller expenses unless the relevant optional costs are entered.
What does Find Selling Price do?
Find Selling Price reverse-calculates a suggested minimum selling price designed to reach the desired receivable after the estimated Amazon fees and any seller costs entered in the calculator.
Payments & Billing

For confirmed services, the Pay Online page provides Razorpay checkout. Direct UPI or bank transfer may also be used when CES has confirmed the amount and payment method.
Are the prices shown on service pages inclusive of GST?
Unless a page explicitly says otherwise, service prices shown as “+ GST” exclude the applicable GST, which is added to the invoice.
What amount should I enter on the Pay Online page?
Enter the exact final payable amount confirmed by CES, including GST where applicable. Do not add GST again if the confirmed amount already includes it.
Is Razorpay checkout secure?
The Pay Online form creates a Razorpay order and payment credentials are handled through Razorpay Checkout. Never send card PINs, UPI PINs, OTPs or payment passwords to CES.
Will I receive a payment reference?
Keep the Razorpay payment ID or bank/UPI transaction reference after payment. CES can use that reference for reconciliation.
Is Amazon advertising spend included in CES service fees?
No. Amazon ad spend and other marketplace/platform charges are separate unless a written quotation explicitly states otherwise.
