Does Amazon want to increase their bidding for the Google Shopping and Google Ads as TEMU have 95% of the results.

Hi Everyone,

We’ve been trying to submit deals for some products that we periodically run promotions on without any issues. However, we are now receiving the following warning: "Potentially inappropriate: This product has been flagged as potentially inappropriate. Please remove this product from your deal."

I’ve reviewed the listings and haven’t found anything inappropriate or potentially problematic. Has anyone else experienced this issue or does anyone have insight into how we can resolve it?

I would have reached out to seller support, but past experiences suggest limited assistance from them, so I’m hoping to get some advice from fellow sellers here.

Kind regards,

Hello all !

I took a much needed holiday recently and switched the holiday mode on because I was out of the country.

I was only away for 10 days, and my shop was switched back on the afternoon of last friday 20th September. It's now a week on and I haven't had a single order come through.

Is this normal? I'm in Handmade . TIA Selena x

Hi,

The past few days i've noticed amazon are spending more per click on ads than i have it set at, why? It's basically robbery, i noticed this on a few of my ads yesterday and thought it may have been a glitch but the same is happening today... I always have my dynamic bidding to down only, so no idea why amazon are increasing the clicks now? Screenshots attached as an example...

You can clearly see i have it set at 0.14p and dynamic bidding set to down only with no bid increasing rules, so why on earth are amazon spending 0.35p per click????

@Seller_TSXM2A5nxWSuH @Seller_gAhPNiLrkfTcr @Seller_iTgjdgiRqiPsn What's going on here???

Is there a way to find out what time of day a sale is made?

I can generate reports which show how many sales I make each day and which advertising campaign led to the sale, but the cost of advertising is really eating into my profits and i'd like to see if there is a trend in the time of day I make sales so that I can target campaigns and only run adverts at certain times of the day to save advertising money.

I raised a discussion about 2 months ago and had a reply from amazon for more info about a month ago. Can't reply to their query for more info as they have locked the discussion!

Here is the original question/discussion..................

Does anyone know what this ad position is called and how to advertise in it.

I've looked everywhere I can think of, Brands, Display, general . Can't seem to find any reference to it. Raised a case with Amazon and they denied that it even existed and had no idea how it can be achieved. Advertising on virtually all of our product pages and it makes it look like they are the seller of our product, due to it's position and the fact that they sell some products in the same vein as us.

any help would be appreciated

Regards

They replied with...............

Sakura from Amazon here. Welcome to the Seller Forums.

Which position do you mean exactly? Is it the one that says " Explore 3M Safety Store " ?

My reply is, would have been if not locked by them........

Hi Sakura

Yes it is, the revised image is....................

In the original picture is/was left as a whole of section on the page so that you might get relevance to it's location just below the bullet points.

Step by step idiots guide I think is needed, or maybe a customer services phone call would be nice.

Does anyone have any idea how this position can be achieved, well, anyone except 3M they've obviously got a sweet deal advertising against all their competitors.

Hi everyone,

I know this topic between the transaction / payment reports difference has come up before and I've usually been able to dismiss the odd £100 here and there due to refunds/date differences/cancellations etc. but now my two reports are showing such a drastic difference that the above can't possibly account for it.

In June my transaction report shows sales as £7018 and my payments report show it as £5296 (which would be a very bad month for us) and YTD there's a difference of £4k now on a £60k revenue so a very significant difference.

Has anyone had the same issue/ know why this amount is so dramatically different? I'm very worried that June revenue figure in the payments section just can't be right so is there anything I can do?

TIA!

My disbursement has been missing despite contacting Amazon several times, they have not given any answer or solution to the issue. Every time I spoke to someone they simply said, we have transferred your case, and the payment team will contact you but nothing, It is a frustrating situation; I am under a huge financial burden, and I have stopped selling as well, which means further financial issues. If Amazon lets me know what else I have to do or when the payment will be released, I can certainly make plans. This is stealing without any explanation for holding the funds.

Hi, anyone has an experienced with this error "Potentially inappropriate: This product has been flagged as potentially inappropriate. Please remove this product from your deal."

This is for our lightning deal and it is happening to all our EU markets.

I got an email from Amazon to say they will credit my account with 1000 GBP if i follow the following actions:

To claim, all you have to do is launch a new campaign or restart an existing one by 10/08/2024 UTC.

Ok great... so 14 days ago I created a brand new campaign and got it started. I ran the campaign for 24 hours and racked up £40 advertising bill. I then paused the campaign and waited patiently for my promised promotional credit.

15 days later, still no advertising credit. So I opened a case. Here's the reply:

Upon investigation, I see that the campaign in account are not active during promotional period September 8 to October 8 - Yes it was.

The campaign created or re launched needs to be active. - No it doesn't.

The credit will be adjusted against the ad spends which is incurred after credit is awarded(14 days).

We are sorry, the account does not qualify for credit.

Firstly, the only 'qualifying action' was said to be:

The Advertiser must resume a paused Sponsored Products campaign, renew an old Sponsored Products campaign or create a new Sponsored Products campaign within the Promotional Period (the “Qualifying Action”).

Yep, done that.

Secondly, yes the campaign is paused, and it clearly shows in the terms and conditions:

Advertisers can suspend or pause their ad(s) at any time before the promotional clicks amount is exhausted if they do not wish to receive additional advertising charges.

Ok good...

So why have amazon promised advertising credit but then declined when it was asked for?

I suspect basically they want me to spend 1000 and then they will send me another 1000 in credit, so essentially i get 2000 credit for 1000, which sounds good, but not when the advertising ROI is always negative!
