How to appeal Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) <95% on Amazon
Appeal for Valid Tracking Rate falling below Amazon's 95% threshold. Requires demonstrating tracking upload process improvements.
Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) <95% sits under Performance Metric Appeals, a family of issues Amazon reviews when evaluating seller performance, catalog integrity, and buyer experience. When Seller Performance or another Amazon team flags this issue, they look for evidence that you understand what triggered the notice, what you changed operationally, and how you will prevent a repeat.
These notices often precede listing restrictions or performance warnings on your account health dashboard, and unresolved issues can stack with other open violations. Severity here is drawn from AppealsPro category metadata for Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) <95%, not from a promised reinstatement outcome.
Common issues sellers hit on Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) <95% appeals include incomplete documentation, mismatched ASINs or order IDs, and Plans of Action that skip a verifiable root cause. Required documents come from the notice itself: invoices, tracking, supplier letters, process screenshots, or metric exports that match the ASINs and dates Amazon cited.
Use the guides on this page before you open or update a case in Seller Central. Many sellers in this category see initial responses within about 7 business days when documentation is complete on the first submission. If you are unsure which sub-issue applies, paste the notice into the free analyzer to map it to the closest appeal category before you commit to a single template.
After you submit, keep a dated record of what you sent and monitor Account Health for follow-up questions. A second request from Amazon is not a new case type; it is usually a request for missing evidence tied to the same Valid Tracking Rate (VTR) <95% notice.

- Can I keep selling while this issue is open?
