Inbound performance alerts
Alerts display as banners on both your Seller Central homepage and in your Shipping Queue.
If you send us a shipment or product that does not comply with our shipping requirements, we typically send you an inbound performance alert, and we may suspend your ability to send additional shipments of affected products until you resolve the issues.
