I am a very small seller. I have 2 products listed for about 2 years. I usually sell about 3 - 4 per day, sometimes 6 or 7, occasionally over 10. I try not to use ppc. Sales have completely crashed during the past 6 - 8 weeks. I'm down to 0 -1 per day. If I turn on ppc i sell more but I lose money in the end because of so many clicks and no sales. Something must have changed. I suspect Amazon changed the search algorithms. I'm sure someone is going to say "you must fine tune your search words" I have done that, over and over. It only gets worse. And I have rarely used ppc in the past. I have a negative balance of over $200 coming up next payout date. This is absolutely pathetic. Of course Amazon loves every bit of this.

I’m reaching out here in the hope that someone can understand and help me, because I truly don’t know what to do anymore.

My seller account was deactivated due to a listing policy violation. The product in question was just a sticker that had a logo I didn’t realize was protected by trademark. I did not create the listing — I copied it from an existing one that was already on Amazon. I only sold 30 units, and after realizing the potential issue, I immediately deleted the listing.

After that, I received a Section 3 violation email from Amazon and was asked to provide a brand authorization letter. Since I didn’t have one, I contacted the brand directly, explained my mistake honestly, and submitted a sincere apology.

Fortunately, the brand accepted my apology, and I provided that communication to Amazon as part of my appeal. But despite this, Amazon continues to reject my appeal over and over again. I’ve tried multiple times and followed every step they asked for, but I’ve hit a wall.

I’ve put so much effort into my Amazon store — it’s my only source of income. Right now, I’m financially unstable and under extreme emotional stress. I don’t know what more I can do. I feel like I’m being punished for a mistake I’ve already owned up to and corrected.I dont know what should i do suicide or something else

Amazon is an amazing platform, and I have always respected its policies. I just need another chance. I’m pleading with the team to please review my case fairly and understand that I never had bad intentions.

To the seller community — if anyone has gone through something similar or has advice, please help me. I’m genuinely lost and desperate for guidance.

My sales have dropped incredibly. How about you?

Hi everyone,

I’m brand new to Amazon selling and could really use some guidance. I just took the leap and invested in everything I need to start selling used books through FBA: A Scoutly membership for sourcing, a barcode scanner, shipping supplies, a decent-size inventory of used books sourced from local thrift stores and independent booksellers, And of course, I signed up and paid for a professional Amazon Seller account

The goal was simple: start a small, used book business by giving pre-owned books a second life through Amazon. However, every single book I’ve tried to list so far has been restricted or gated, regardless of condition or category.

This is incredibly discouraging, especially since selling used books was the only reason I created and paid for the seller account. I'm feeling pretty lost, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if there’s a hidden process I need to go through to get ungated for books or specific publishers.

Has anyone experienced this before? Are there workarounds? Do restrictions lighten over time with account age or sales? Is there something else I should try before giving up?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
