Hello! @Seller_l7Jtck9jxnEA0 @Seller_lmwzklfLOK2Ob
On 8 May, we uploaded a series of new kitchen knives product. We updated “uk-18-knife” via the product spreadsheet; however, one product could not have this flag applied. We received a performance notification and, in response to this notification, we went back to the Manage Inventory page – Edit – and updated the “Restrict customer sales by age” setting. We have submitted appeals and updated the information numerous times, but our product has still not been restored to an active status.
On 9 May, another product in the same series was marked as “inactive”, with the following restriction displayed:
“We are not accepting applications to sell:
Other rp_3p_offer in New, Used, Refurbished, Collectible condition(s)
Other Kitchen category in Refurbished condition(s)
Other Kitchen category in Collectible condition(s)”
When we appealed to the Amazon support team, we received the same response, requesting that we upload the “uk-18-knife” label. We have also updated this label, yet the product still does not display as available for sale.
On 17 May, a third product in our range encountered the same issue – Amazon informed us that this product lacked the “uk-18-knife” label.
We are well aware of Amazon UK’s restrictions on kitchen knives and have consistently adhered to Amazon’s rules, using FBA to sell kitchen knives and uploading the “uk-18-knife” flag on the product pages. However, since April, whenever we have uploaded new kitchen knife listings, we have consistently encountered issues where the “uk-18-knife” flag fails to upload successfully.
We have consistently lodged appeals and opened cases both proactively and in response to notifications. We have continuously refreshed the ‘uk-18-knife’ status via the product upload spreadsheet and have received performance notifications following each upload.
We have also followed the Amazon support team’s instructions to refresh the ‘uk-18-knife’ status on the product detail page, yet have been unsuccessful.
We are extremely frustrated by the current situation and hope you can understand our position and assist us with our appeal. We have discovered that we are not the only one facing this issue, so we would also ask you to report this matter to the platform. We do not want sellers who have consistently followed the rules to continue receiving performance notifications whilst their appeals remain unsuccessful.
