One or More of Your Amazon Listings Have Been Removed
Hello Sellers,
Ive been selling on amazon a few years now and have always sold toys and games and got approved at the start, but overnight 121 listings in toys have been removed stating I need approval.
Does anyone know why this as happened ?
Also, all are in the same approval category - do I need to supply pics and invoices for all 121 items, or will they reactivate them all if 1 is approved in the category ? Currently there is over 8000 items stranded and appears to be a nightmare to sort with days if not weeks of admin if its all 121 products to locate the invoices for and product recall so pictures can be taken.
As anyone ever experienced this and has anyone got any helpful advice as this really would be much appreciated.
It does state my account health as not been affected and im currently still active with everything else ( grocery, diy etc ) but toys is what pays the bills.
Kindest regards Cathy

Hi Monkey Boy,
Im afraid its not that - that leads me to just 5 items - all grocery which i no longer stock asking things like add item count.
thanks for trying though…

There were also loads of mentions of Funko items when the compliance docs first started.
I had some star wars party invitations pulled a couple of weeks ago, didn’t show in my account but they got removed even though they’re properly licensed

We had something very similar , although not quite as many as you , we have been selling on Amazon for quite sometime now, and we were told that we had to apply for approval again for certain products ,
not sure why.

I had something similar, the listings they were asking for authentication on I had not created myself. I had four items and I appealed each of them, saying doesn’t apply to me, two were cancelled but the other two kept getting thrown back at me, and then instead I DIDNT appeal but I provided photo of my item in stock, and when I put my email address in the email box I also stated “I did not create this listing, someone else did”.
I don’t understand why, but this cleared the two remaining notices, I think perhaps someone eyeballed my comment and they understood that I didn’t create the listing and I just listed against the barcode on the item which matched the listing.I hope I’m making sense.

This happened to me with Royal Mail presentation packs of mint stamps. I had 140 listings removed, even though I had been selling them for two years. Amazon’s policies are frequently senseless. I really don’t see how removing choice and cheaper prices “provides the best possible customer experience.” It also happened with ‘legal tender coins’ which Amazon says are not allowed to be sold, yet even a simple search shows hundreds of listings for legal tender coins. I would love to know why Amazon removes some listings while leaving hundreds of identical listings alone. It seems to me that Amazon is deliberately stifling competition in favour of certain sellers.

This is now ridiculous, every day I get some notice or other and something else is removed.
I got a warning for infringing Porsche the other day…no idea but I did drive past their showroom so maybe that was it.
Getting to the point of not worth it for me now.
