I've just had something quite worrying on this subject . I am just going through some books updating my prices. One of them is a

"Britain in Pictures" which were published by Collins. I got the "you need permission to sell" message. I have at least 50 books in the BIP series for sale on Amazon plus at least 100 other collins books. I hope the Amazon bots are not going through all the books that are already for sale checking that they are illegal !!!

I am selling toys and I have noticed a significant decrease of sales through Amazon last months (around 30-50% in comparsion with same period of last year). I am doing the same things like in the past (checking the supplies, prices, etc), also I have a positive account health.

Have you notices same problems, or is this a common sign of any sales in Amazon, or were there some changes in the system or new rules?? Dont you know what could be the reason?

Report them to Amazon for making threats and clearly trying to scam you.

It is possible in some cases where items are left on doorsteps, they go missing, but I have been selling online for over 40 years, and that message rings every bell as being a scammer. And most importantly, do not resend, or you will just end up losing 2 items.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been selling on Amazon for over 5 years as a side business. While things were stable in the past, I’ve seen a sharp decline in performance recently — with my overall sales dropping by 50% over the past two months.

I’ve invested in Sponsored Ads, keyword optimisation, A+ Content, and even consulted Amazon Seller Support, who confirmed my account is healthy with no violations or issues. Despite these efforts, my advertising spend is leading to consistent losses with very little return.

Two ASINs in particular — B08QH58SK8 and B08QH2KGL4 — used to be my best-performing, high-profit products. Now, I’ve had to reduce prices to near breakeven just to try and maintain some sales volume.

I’m urgently looking for actionable feedback or expert insights:

Could you kindly review these ASINs and suggest areas for improvement?

Are there realistic and cost-effective strategies that could help turn this around?

Any proven tactics for external traffic or listing enhancements?

would really appreciate any support or advice. Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Best regards,

Hoping we can get some help here, we’ve made many cases on SS but the majority are not understanding the situation and we are losing thousands per month which will only increase if this is not sorted soon. We are currently 6 months in regarding the issue without a resolution.

The issue:

Amazon automatically and suddenly after 1 years of selling decided to change the visibility of our Brand and ASINs (not sure how, maybe browse node?), which in turn has made our listing unsearchable for all organic keywords. (not indexed)

We are only currently searchable by Amazon ads / searching our ASIN directly / searching for long tail low volume phrases / searching our brand name. Everything else, we have completely lost rank for.

I have provided evidence of this attached to case ID: 11204681412, for our main high volume keywords our ASIN used to have around 2.5% share of the impressions (we were consistntly top 10 on the first page organically) but 6 months ago this has fallen to 0%. Since then our organic rank has disappeared completely with our ASIN not being able to be found on any of the pages for the same keywords (hence 0% asin impression share).

We can also tell we have lost rank because our sales have gone from 40+ per day to 1-2 (which the ads are contributing to, as these still seem to work)

I have also tried to manually do an upload file to try to change the browse nodes, but this has not worked. The browse nodes were fine for 1+ years and are still correctly asigned in the backend of my listing.

Seller support say the listing is active, the asins in question are not flagged as adult products and the search feature is working as it should before proceeding to send me listing optimisation articles all of which I have read.

I am running out of options, therefore decided to put out this post to see if an Amazon admin or anyone on the forum can help us solve this. We are generating no organic sales, and losing all our rank to competitors which we spent 1.5 years gaining.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!
