Welcome to Seller Forums

Hello! I am the Manufacturer and the Brand Registered Brand Owner, however I am unable to update my 5,000 listings because Amazon Retail is the Winning Contributor.

Amazon does not have any offers on my ASINs, so how can they be the winning contributor? Contact Us is telling me that I have to submit each ASIN as a single case to get attributes updated. This can't be the only way. I am trying to improve the customer experience by optimizing content, but Amazon is doing everything they can to prevent that.

Has anyone figured out a way to fix this in bulk?

Anyone know how to fix a few child ASIN that are not showing under the parent ASIN. I have created a case with seller support and its been a 14 days and no response from amazon, all they tell me that i need to wait 7 business days for internal team to contact me.

Case # 16610351371

So I'm working on trying to get our catalog cleaned up with zero supressions and all that in time for the holidays. One of my biggest stumbling blocks is again Amazon automatic AI processes just not doing the "Intelligence" part very effectively.

We list sports and entertainment collectibles - photographs, magazines, etc. Photographs and magazines seem to be the only items effected by this process.

Here is an example of an item we have issues with.

This item is being flagged because Amazon "believes that the item has added texts, logos or watermarks". Well, I can tongue-in-cheek state that what Amazon believes and what the actual truth is doesn't always jive.

The photo above is an exact scan of an 11X14 photo. All of the text included is on the actual image that was produced, signed, and the customer will be receiving. I am assuming that the obvious text on various parts of this image are the reason the "bots" are clawing at it. I have no problem with Amazon using these tools to filter out listings, but again I have a problem that no one is taking the next step to actual have a human check then to see if it's actually what the bots are stating.

Most of the photos we have issues with are like the above, which are photos that already have pre-printing text or names on them - not uncommon for athletes or celebrities.

Some are even more bizarre like this one:

The only "text" I can assume Amazon is seeing is the authentication sticker on the bottom of the photograph. How on earth can I get around that?

Sure I've read all the suggestions - I've been told to slightly rotate the images. It's been suggested I blur our text to get past the filters. I've read to just add a border of white around the images - all solutions which sound absolutely wacky to me. I think both Sellers and Amazon need to focus on policies that are clearly not working as intended and FIX them so they do work, or at least set up a process where sellers can more easily appeal to an actual live human in the case of an AI error so that it can be quickly and easily corrected.

In the case of these images, I've now been working with support for over three days - and neither of these images have been approved so far, and all I get is the automatic, canned response that:

"We believe the main image has text, logo, graphic or watermark which is not permitted for this product type. Please submit a compliant image to lift the suppression. Also refer to Product image requirements."

Let's work to make this platform a better and easier environment for sellers, and frankly let's start wasting the time for Seller Support who probably have more important issues to deal with.

Hello,

I am a new seller on Amazon. While listing my products, I created separate listings for each of them. However, I would like to combine them under a single parent ASIN. Could you please guide me on how to do this?

We received an email mid November stating amazon have concerns over authenticity of certain asin. We looked at our customer returns, voice of customer, both seller and product reviews but there are no complaints. So we contacted amazon but all we got are robotic replies.

This asin has had issue in the end of September and we submitted the same invoice but amazon was able to verify them and let us continue to sell both for Brand review and product authenticity issue.

After two days of submission, the support person from amazon contacted us and informed us that the account is deactivated due to FBA bot activation. She even acknowledged that invoices have been verified twice in the past and there won't be any issue. If there is any issue tell them to use "her-name notes" for contact and they will guide us.

I did not hear anything back for my appeal even after 5 days so I sent them the email in the evening. I received an email in the middle of the night saying that they cannot accept the invoice because they are unable to verify the transaction (which they were able to do in the past twice).

They are holding a huge amount of money and we have to pay bills, feed my family and there's no one at the support willing to help, all we get is robotic replies stating something like...This is xyz from Amazon's account health support.

I understand you'd ........

We really appreciate if anyone have any solution or just help us release the funds that was supposed to be released two day after Amazon decided to pull this.

We cannot wait 60-90 days we really need money. I have a family to support and bills to pay.

I even contacted my supplier and they told us nobody from Amazon ever contacted them.

I want to close my account beacause it is deactivated and I have appealead but they does not do anything. Please suggest me what I can do?

My account has been deactivated for many, many months with Amazon not really telling me why even after I've sent every document I can think of to send. My next effort has been to get the reserved funds that are being held sent to me and I don't understand why I can't get anyone to e-mail me back, despite being give a specific e-mail address to send my question. I'd appreciate any explanation or help with either, but most importantly I'd like the money I actually earned in sales paid Thanks.

As I am planning to close my business on Amazon, first step is to get rid of all stock.

What is the next step? once stock balance is 0, how can I close my account/store?
