Hi all

I'm having a headache with this. Variants just aren't playing ball. I have numerous variants i need to create but for this example, i'll use 1.

I have a parent ASIN B0DQPZX4FL and have linked 6 child ASINs (B0DQQ41NC3, B0DQQ2P4JX, B0DQQ5FZ58, B0DQQ3J45J, B0DQQ23XCN & B0DQQ2LZG5) However, only B0DQQ41NC3 has linked. The other child ASINs are stand-alone (Yet have the variant title styling).

I'm going out of my mind and don't know how else to fix this, i've used an .XLS flat file upload, tried to go back into the listing and "Edit" but nothing changes, only 1 ASIN ever links to the product.

(I have removed images for the purpose of this post, but this has not effected the listing as the problem has been on-going for weeks)

I must be missing a small nugget of information somewhere... SS about as useful as a chocolate fireguard so i'm really hoping someone has that missing piece of info.

TIA

Hi,

Compititor who started selling same product like me a month ago now has more reviews than me inspite of selling lesser than me. I have started selling a year ago, so far I have 170 reviews. And he started selling a month ago has 280 reviews.

1) He launched all 10 child ASINs variants separately and got each free vine reviews done. Once vine reviews posted, he created a parent ASIN and combined all child ASINs to it. - As per the amazon policy vine review can be done ONCE only for One Parent ASIN. Maximum vine review to get is 30 only. So here he knows the loophole and taking advantage of creating all variant ASINs separately , gethering vine reviews for each and combining it later. Ideally while has has created parent ASINs and combined all child ASINs which has vine reviews done in each, amazon should not allow to create that listing or should delete extra vine reviews (any reviews more than 30) before creating the listing . Now this is the BIG LOOPHOLE here and god knows why amazon is not addressing this.

2) Apart from vine reviews, Everyday he is adding 5 to 6 new reviews with 5 star without comment. So you can see the count of review going up but comment is not showing. As per his ranking in category - lower than my product ranking. None of his variant ASINs showing 50+ or 100+ sold past month whereas mine variants are showing that means he is selling lesser than me. Then how come every single day 5 new review stars he is getting enrolled?

Amazon says, they have strict policy about fake review or influencing reviews. Here he is doing but no action has been taken. Seller support team saying dont worry some day it will happen and amazon will take action. I dont know when that "Some day" will come?

How do I survive in this situation where I always follow amazon policy and guidelines but people not following are getting more sell and business.

Regards

Hi folks

I have 1 parent ASIN with 30 child ASINS. In "Manage Inventory" only 5 of the child ASINS have merged with the parent, the remaining 25 are showing as standalone listings. I've gone back into the parent listing to add the variants but it's still not working.

Any advice?
