Sold Ship Now email now starts with "Action Required"
Did anyone else's Sold Ship Now emails just add Action Required to the beginning of the email titles today or is it just my account?

Got my first order with that this morning. Looks like Amazon once again can't leave well enough alone. These scare tactics to force compliance are simply dystopian. If everything now reads "action required" nothing is actually important.
The only action that's required is Amazon stop messing with third party merchants. It's always a new fee, more regulation, more rules that don't help either the seller or the buyer, more nonsense every single day.
Amazon has truly lost its way and my confidence in them as both a seller and a buyer. I stopped sending inventory into FBA and am purchasing more things on other platforms. Amazon's fees are making things too expensive and less competitive for buyers and sellers.

I received an email this am with same message -- what was really interesting is it says the item was purchased two days ago, but the email was only just sent this morning. (No email from two days ago)

Yes and it sent my blood pressure through the roof. Honestly, who gets paid to provoke sellers? What is the payoff? There is NO VALUE in this add-on demand, whatsoever. It is provocative, useless...disheartening.

Agreed. Please remove this stupid stupid thing.

Can Amazon consider, even just once, listening to sellers and removing this tag? It causes truly important emails to be overlooked.

I haven't seen "Action Required" in any of my "Sold Ship Now" emails.
I agree, this is ridiculous.
Everyone, do this:
Click on "Report an issue with this email" at the bottom of such messages and report it to Amazon. Select "Tone, Wording or Grammar Issue". Write "Remove Action Required wording - this is highly inappropriate for routine order notifications" in the Details. Submit.
Do this for each such email. Everyone. That should get Amazon's attention in a hurry, if they receive thousands of such reports. And that's the correct path to deal with this, I believe.

Yep. They all say that now. It is Amazon's way of trying to keep sellers' stress levels amped to the maximum. As if us sellers have no concern with getting orders shipped. Thank God Amazon is there to impress upon us sellers the urgency of shipping orders in a timely manner.
"Action Required." What would we have done without this critical notification?

Nice mini heart rate jump the first time. Just goes to show how Amazon views and values us. Instead of something like Congratulations it starts with Action Required.

This is a similar change to the "Disbursement Attempted" e-mail that appeared last week. TPTB made the disbursement-no "attempted" about it.
As AMAZON continues to dive into medical/pharmaceutical field, are they attempting to giver sellers a mass heart-attack? Frankly, wouldn't buy ANY of their medical products and have cut down on purchasing items that can be found at local B &M's.

Next they'll add in a disclaimer threatening to shut our account down, seize inventory, and withhold funds if we don't ship the order on time.
