Seller store for 20 years. I AM DONE.
Been selling used books for 20-plus years- both FBM and FM. Added various other items about 10 years ago. Always been wonderful to sell my stuff on Amazon. But my 100% positive feedback seller storefront has been DEAD for 3 months. As if the store was just turned off. My items are "live" but I've sold nothing. Doing well on Mercari, Poshmark and eBay. Going to close my storefront. Sorry to have to do it, but it's as if Amazon has stuck a knife in my back and I'm in the process of dying...so I'm done.

Used books are so over-offered on Amazon. If you don't price it to be one of the top 2, it's hard to get a sale...unless you offer some 100K+ books....

Any updates on your store? How are sales?
I also sell books, and I just scanned some brand new items in, with sales rankings lower than 10k in some cases... I priced them fairly considering some are like new, and have had all sales just completely stop. As you said: "Like it was just turned off"
I chatted with Amazon and they said there were no problems with my account whatsoever, and said I need to start winning the buybox. I was doing just fine avoiding the buybox altogether just a few days ago, and now nothing.
I have a physical location with my store, so I am verifying here that this is just Amazon's problem right now, and they should have someone take a look at what's going on.
