Can ANYONE make any sense of Amazons pricing policy ? I have had books deactivated for overpricing when it was rare, mine was the only one on Amazon and those few on ABE were £10 more. I was asked to provide a 'reference price' which was presumably the new price in about 1980 !

Now I have had another removed so I looked up the others for sale. Mine was £38. Ther are two at £30, which was not the case when I first listed as I am always the cheapest like for like. But there are three at £80, and the one new copy ( surely their 'reference price' ) is over £200 !

I cant make any sense of it at all. Book prices on Amazon are totally random. I have seen prices ranging from 10 to 200 for the same book and Amazon is mostly happy with it. But when one of the bucket shops puts up a valuable book for a ridiculous price i am suddenly expected to match it. I would rather take it down the charity shop. ( mind you, thats where the bucket shops get some of their books )

Is it just me or does this happen to others ?

I have made multiple shipments recently, and certain color variations of my products almost always go missing.

Shipment FBA15J26FK6J: 125 units packed, only 50 units received, 75 missing.

Shipment FBA15J2BTC0D: 125 units packed, only 74 units received, 50 missing (I found the 1 lost item).

Shipment FBA15J3G52YW is still active, 125 units packed, only 84 units received, 41 units missing.

Total missing units: 166.

There is a pattern to the missing items; they are all the same color variations - green, purple, and pink. This can't be an accident. They all have the same package quality, same label quality, and they are in the same box as others, but only these colors go missing. What is going on? Amazon support didn't help. They made no explanation about whats going on. As a seller, I am starting to loose my trust to amazon.

That's selling for you. Personally I'd rather focus on products that might sell less but have less competition. If a new seller arrives and sell them for a lot less, I let them do it (unless I want to get rid of the products) and keep my ideal price. Soon or later they will go. If they stay, well I move on, there are lots of products in the sea.

If I take into account the returns, the packaging, the missing orders, the labour involved etc I'd rather have 100 products that sell 5 times a week each with a good margin rather than have one product that sells 80 times a day for 20p margin.

Hello

On most of our ASINS I have 2 listings, 1 is FBA and 1 is MFN. I have never had an issue with this. I would simply copy an ASIN listing and I would enter a new SKU which would be the same, just with either FBA or MFN added to it.

I have just gone to copy a listing for an ASIN, the existing listing is set to MFN but now there is no option to enter an SKU, I went ahead and did this but it has given a random SKU, which is not ideal as this doesn't link to anything. So below is what happened;

Existing ASIN: B0B25RFBFG Existing SKU: Y4308 DGPK 1

In the past I would copy this listing so that the SKU was Y4308 DGPK 1_FBA

But as there was no option to enter the SKU, it has given an SKU of BN-QF4J-9OYB obviously I could use this SKU but it doesn't match up with the SKU on our systems outside of Amazon. Also I mainly search by SKU when looking for a listing.

It's worth noting that I the last time I tried this prior to today was 15/09/2023 so I don't know if there's been a change since then. I have tried searching but can't seem to find any mention of this.

We are the manufacturers of the products and this ASIN was created by us initially.

Has anybody encounterd this or got any thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

I am having the same issue I reached out to amazon but it seems like they do not acknowledge this as a wider ranging issue. I suspect its likely related to an update. Did they give you a fix for this issue? More than 80 percent of my listing's are affected. Its ridiculous. The only fix they suggested is they update my listing's manually. Its clearly an issue on their side since it seems to be quiet common and weeks ago everything was fine.

No, not just you.

Just to highlight the vaguery of Amazon's pricing policy: listed a copy of ISBN 9789774249013 at £83 a few weeks ago. At the time it was the only copy anywhere online. As expected it almost instantly spawned a listing by Paper Cavalier at getting on for twice the price.

Thought I'd sold it so closed the listing; PC's price jumped to £600+.

So who knows how it works.

I have been harvesting and making these seaweed capsules for the last six years.

I cannot see the point of building up a brand and amazon remove it without any good reason.

Amazon say it needs approval but it already has approval already,

When you click on the approval it says amazon no longer are accepting "We are not accepting applications to sell

Amazon want the remaining 86 removed, I also just shipped 112 tubs which arrived today.

is there a way to reinstate this listing?

Is this normal practise ?

The other problem I have you cannot return them to n Ireland.

kind regards

If you go to the FBA inventory report,

does it show the original 59 items received on a particular depot on a date.

and then a negative/adjustment on a different date at the same or another fba centre?

and was this shipment only 59 items or are there other sku/quantities that were received ok?

Sent in 59 Units with a value of £600+, amazon confirmed this has been checked in and then apparently its gone missing. Now they are changing their story and claiming they didn't receive the items.

An absolute joke I must admit. I am a very small business and £600 is a lot of money to my business. The fact that no one is willing to look into this properly is annoying especially as its been going on for 4 weeks now.

Absolutely disgusting.

Hello

On May 14, 2024, without any notification or performance, my entire account's shopping cart was lost. Buyers can no longer find my products on the search page, and my orders dropped from 800 orders per day to 80 orders per day, which is a devastating blow to me.

Attached are some of the asins, please note that all asins in the entire account are lost! ! !

B0CB5CGGDS, B0BHWM4BBF, B0CGMWJ2T3, B0BBDVQ846

I checked all the indicators, everything is normal, no credit card refunds, store feedback is 100%, and all our conditions meet the requirements of featured offers.

I think this is a mistake by Amazon, and I hope you can help me solve this problem.

Who will bear my losses and my orders?@Spencer_Amazon
