THIS IS TRULY RIDICULOUS---SKU'S BEING CALLED PLANTS OR SEEDS
"Tonight I received two E-Mails that said in part the following:
Hello,

You must take remedial actions before 7/1/2024, UTC, else your listing(s) will be removed from our catalog.

Why is this happening?

In fact none of the 5 sku's had anything to do with live plants and/or seeds. Amazon IMHO needs New Programmers and New quality software. Why do they continue to make POO--POO's like this?

Going through the same issue. Had Yu-Gi-Oh! & Pokemon cards being called live plants/seeds.... Amazon has some of the mother flipping worst bots in the flipping world.
Seller_1sZE5n9hympJR
Received the same. We'll be appealing these soon. Considering it's quite obvious the products have nothing to do with plants or live seeds, all we're going to do is screen print the listing images and description with a simple one sentence description of the item in the text box.
Yes, Amazon needs a better leadership staff to ensure this type of thing doesn't get programmed. Hopefully the "appeals" go right through without a hitch.

at 20 and counting! Nothing I sell has anything to do with plants or seeds or anything like that! I can't even figure out where the bot got the idea to do this! They don't even have pictures of such on them!
Seller_b8LkvBQQdLIft
same situation but till now 1 ASIN, totally not related with seeds, it is going beyond ridiculous

I believe this is happening across the board. It seems to be increasing and needs to resolved by July 1st.
Some moron at Amazon turned on the wrong switch. Imagine they do this on prime days or the holidays and can't fix this.
Also last year we notice on prime days Amazon shadow ban competitors so they can push their own old inventory out.

Over 900 Automotive parts flagged as plants and seeds
What?
Amazon needs to fix this immediately!

We have same issue with plastic plant pots. Amazon must be losing sales and vendors over these contusing issues.
Seller_QjYfjZwWH8D0l
Same here--14 warnings and counting for products that have nothing to do with live plants or seeds. Some of them are even sold by Amazon retail (I wonder if they get warnings, too). Is there no end to this lunacy? Amazon has become a bureaucratic nightmare.
It's getting to the point that I have to spend more time cleaning up these messes than actually expanding my business. I own a bit of Amazon stock, and I'm angry that resources are wasted on such easily avoidable blunders.

We should all wish our items were seeds and plants. Imagine growing them and never have to spend money on supplies again, a free constant supply 🙄
Come on amazon. It's nearly prime day and we are all busy sellers. We have no time for your bots nonsense. Best thing too is that it says this effects our health rating. That's just not right. Is anyone working on a fix ??? Probably not
