Anyone else experiencing a large drop in sales? I realize that the holidays have just recently passed and tax time is upon us but I don't recall this kind of drop in sales this same time last year. Maybe something to do with elections as well? My products are larger priced items so generally sales aren't crazy but I went from around 20 orders a week to practically nothing in the last month or so. I have contacted Sales support and there are no issues with my account health or anything that the specialist could see. Spending $25 per day on advertising and have been for quite a few months now so it's not a new campaign. I'm just lost on what could be the problem other than time of year things.

I have sold books via Amazon for nearly 15 years. Over most of that time, I have been pleased with the number of product I have sold. This year, compared to previous years, my sales are significantly down. I have not changed any of the ways I operate. My inventory remains about the same size and of the same diversity. Are other booksellers experiencing this same reduction in sales? My account health remains in good shape. I cannot figure this out? Any ideas out there?

I'm convinced Amazon has made major changes on it's algorithm, resulting in drastic sales drops for some businesses, but possibly not for all. We're unfortunately one of the businesses that has had a massive drop in the past year....about 50%. I'm wondering if this is different per catagory, per time on Amazon....etc. There's just no way that this is organic change. It'd be nice if Amazon was transparent with it's so called "partners," but I think those who've been here awhile realize we aren't truly partners. Partners are transparent, especially about major and effecting changes. Anyway, anyone who wants to chime in, what percent are you up or down from last year.....what catagory are you in......and how long have you been a seller here? Thanks all!
