Pre-ordering and FBA
I am seeing conflicting information about what items are eligible for per-ordering. We use FBA to sale books and according to Amazon items sold with FBA are not eligible for pre-ordering.
It also says that the Release date has to be no more than 10 days (for books) in the future. I have a book that was showing available for pre-order 30 days before release date and it was an FBA item.
I need clarification on what is eligible for pre-ordering as we want to point to our amazon seller storefront at an event for a book that will not be released yet. We would like to let people know that it is available for pre-order (if applicable).

i would love to know the correct information, too. I use FBM and am trying to make my book available for preorders. I don't know what date to put for offering release date or restock date.

Hello @Seller_IBnU4LnT1UcCH Thanks for checking in with the forums about FBA Pre-Orders for upcoming book releases.
According to that page you shared, pre-orders are not available for FBA sales. However, I would like to reach out to my books contact to clarify the book-specific rules.
Have you opened a support case about this so I can check the ASIN and share that with our books partner team?
