Welcome to Seller Forums

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed a significant drop in my sales on Amazon recently. Despite keeping my prices competitive and maintaining good product ratings, the decline continues. I’m wondering if others are experiencing the same issue. Could it be due to recent algorithm changes, increased competition, or seasonal fluctuations?

I’d appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to improve sales in the current market.

Thanks!

I realize there are a lot of posts like this that pop up from time to time with people reporting their sales have really fallen off. I don't mean to create yet another one just to bemoan this fact as I'm sure a lot of other people have experience this too, but this is quite severe.

It was like a flip switched mid-December. I've been selling on Amazon for five years and have a lot of data to show what I expect to be selling relative to other years. I went from nearly 1500-1800 sales a month down to maybe 350 at most. My January was down 80% from the previous January. I haven't changed anything, and the sudden nature of it makes me feel like something in the algorithm has changed rather than it being a subtle creep of competition.

Perhaps I'm missing something and there was an announcement as to some policy that changed. I'm FBM and have never been FBA.

Hello everyone,

I usually sell my products everyday but since the end of january and clearly now in february I've noticed that my sales went down almost to zero. I suddenly have a very hard time selling my inventory. Coincidence that this happened at the same time I got deactivation warning for the INFORM Consumers Act. Also the refund policy Amazon has is killing my profit.

Does anyone else experience this same type of problem?

According to the notification, we need to provide details in compliance with INFORM Consumers Act, which were already submitted more than a week ago.

The notification was removed but once again this is being displayed, and when we click on it, it is not redirecting to any page where we can provide the missing information "If any"

I raised a case and as usual were not of any help

Anyone faced a similar issue and know its solution?

I want to still sell my items on Amazon Seller Central but would like to cancel Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA) since I have all my inventory here at home and have my own shipping skills.

Please respond with step by step instructions.

🙏🏼Much appreciated,

Mrs. B.

Hello,

I tried to resolve this issue with Support but had no luck.

How Amazon can calculate the Competitive price of $3.49 if according to the new Amazon policy Sourcing Cost for this product is $3.05?

This is absurd, how will you be able to profit from this item if Amazon FBA fees on this item are $4.55? Your system gets numbers outside Amazon without any additional fees such as Shipping, Labor, etc, and then removes BuyBox thinking the price is too high on Amazon.

That insane way of treating sellers like that.

Hi! Hope anyone can help as Amazon support hasn’t answered my question and just keeps sending me the notification of deactivated account. I was recently deactivated because of inactivity, inventory just started arriving to warehouse. I went to submit again for reactivation with the same documents as previously uploaded (which was approved) but now they sent saying they couldn’t verify my data. Under business information it doesn’t show up anymore “none- individual seller” so if I click personal business would I need to input the requested information for business registration number? I don’t have that as I don’t have an LLC .. yet. What do I click as I don’t want my account to get suspended while I just got my inventory there. Please help no one from Amazon support has got back to me and I have only few days to resubmit.

discussion.I think if mazon would have a tab to filter out only USA seller so customers could choose to buy and support the USA economy. Customerswillbe more happyto buy from sellers that take responsibility and care about theirbrand and USA sellers are not more expensive. Its the truth. Unless your buying a disposable item.

Hey guys,

So my account was deactivated due to Amazon needing a utility bill. I sent them one, but I got an email saying that it wasn’t sufficient enough evidence to reactivate my account. I contacted seller support and they told me to also include a plan of action, which I did. Again, I got a message saying I didn’t have sufficient enough evidence to reactivate my account. So, again I contacted support. They then gave me two Amazon appeal emails to contact. I reached out with my situation and I haven’t heard anything. If someone can give some insight that would be helpful!
