Old news!
In October, 2020, Amazon launched new Product Types and added relevant attributes in the listing experience to improve your product detail pages.

Why, oh why, does Amazon always want to create issues for sellers in Q4?
Seriously, what do you think is going to happen (as @papyrophilia mentions above) when Amazon decides to “automatically” re-classify? And why is there no date given?
While the change is old news it seems we not have 100 new PT’s. There comes the issues.
Just for readers info …
PT is not the same as the Category, so don’t get confused. This is more like the Item_Type_Keyword (basically is the same). Also, this is something you already use when creating a new to Amazon product. Now though the search is a little better, and we have 100 more to choose from…
Example of a search I did just to test.

Amazon started reclassifying our products In Feb and it has been an absolute nightmare. we have had over 150 cases filed on 1,000’s of products. When they reclassify, it no longer allows us to make proper changes, removes the brand registry data from the catalog, and create a complete mess with variations as they reclassify one variation, but not another, then when you try to change either the old or new, it results in catalog conflicts. Would be really nice after 10 months if they could tell us how to fix this mess. I have some products that should be in team sports apparel and they got reclassified to cellular phone cases and 30 support cases later I have yet to get it to change correctly.

Managing listings on Amazon would be so much easier if they didn’t keep making changes like these that then affect existing listings. I’ve lost a lot of listings and reviews over the past several years from updates likes these.

Sure, let me jump through all of these hoops only to have my listings and reviews hijacked the next day. Amazon is a pathetic joke.
