Amazon just removed a slew of book ASINs because they are by some unbelievable stretch of the imagination "male enhancement products" - how to get them reinstated?

Just unreal, but a number of book ASINS were just removed as they are being inexplicably called “Rhino Male Enhancement Supplements” which is so mind-bogglingly absurd I can’t even imagine how they made the mistake in the first place.

It has affected one author in particular, Jean Auel, which doesn’t do anything to clear up the issue. Curious has anyone else has noticed this or attempted to correct this error? Are there other books/authors affected?

I’ve heard horror stories about how ASINS, after being removed, can be incredibly difficult to get reinstated. Is there any way that doesn’t involve hours of phone tag with Seller Support reps who aren’t going to do anything anyway? Is there anything close to a reliable method for getting this issue to someone’s attention?

Haven’t tried to sell a Jean Auel book in almost 15 years so I can’t offer much help there. GL.

Just got the same email. Not terribly worried as we don’t often sell Auel online. Bizarre though.

Happened to me as well. I had one book removed on the grounds that it was a male enhancement supplement. Also by Jean Auel and just sold last month.
Even if I hadn’t already sold the only copy I ever had, I’d be more concerned about the policy violation showing on myAccount Health page than about getting listings back.

I don’t want my account at risk for violations down the road if I haven’t earned them.

I’m currently in an ongoing battle to get about 7 ASINs reinstated that were classified as “lithium ion batteries” from stickers to protective cases, none of which are “batteries” still proves to be incredibly difficult thanks to how inept SS can be at times.

As silly as it is, I’ve realized that creating a “letter of compliance” on company letterhead stating each ASINs’ full title, outlining each item that’s been mistakenly restricted describing why you believe each restriction to be incorrect and providing that “official” document drafted to SS to pass along to the appropriate department seems to work a bit better than to solely leave it in their hands to outline and pass along accordingly.

This is my favorite post of the week. Still trying to think of a hilarious response…

At least these are long-tailed skus, and not some company’s payroll and rent product.
