'Confirmed Shipment' Policy Violation - We do not confirm shipments

We were recently informed of the following scenario: You get an order and you process it using whatever 3rd party shipping software you are using. It sends the information to USPS.com (assuming you are using the USPS). If the USPS comes and picks up your package but they don't scan the package as being received (problem) before it goes to a bulk sorting center and then let's say the bulk sorting center gets behind and doesn't process the packages (problem) like weather or whatever excuse they will give, that will cause a seller problems. Amazon sees this as a problem because the tracking number isn't moving in a recognized carrier's tracking app. If a seller were to have X number of these against X sales they are probably going to get a PN/Warning. In the scenario presented above the post office has really failed the shipper, the end customer and amazon.com.

From Amazon's standpoint they are wondering if you aren't trying to commit some sort of fraud to get paid. Drop Shippers who don't actually have physical inventory, are notorious for this type of practice. That's not to say Drop Shippers are bad per se, but in some instances they have to figure out a way to confirm a shipment without actually having anything to immediately ship.
