90% drop in sales and 0% buy box as of two days ago.
18+ year Amazon seller here. We are 100% FBM. Tuesday night our sales suddenly stopped. Since then, we have had 12 sales which is an over 90% drop. According to my dashboard our BB percentage dropped to 0% around the same time. When I go into inventory it oddly shows that I am the featured offer (green check) on items that are out of stock and have been for weeks. Listings where I am the only seller suddenly have a suppressed BB or Amazon has the buy box with the "temp out of stock" info even when they haven't been on the listing in the past six months and up to a year. I have seen many discussion about this on Facebook in various seller groups.
On other selling platforms our sales are up. In fact our sales are up everywhere except Amazon. My metrics are fine btw.
I realize the algorithm for the BB changes constantly but this is not normal. Does anyone have any insight? I am not selling enough to keep the lights on!

If anyone can offer insight I would be so grateful. Thank you.

Tuesday night many were glued to the tube or computer after, in some areas, a two hour wait to vote.
The more monied clientele lost-they're still in shock or squabbling. We're been having minimal sales right along-but I find it suspicious , near the same amt. every day. The "Sprinkler" is barely on for books-today, finally, was a little more normal for us.
As the country adjusts, sales will too-but not expecting much in holiday sales. Folks who know what butter/ eggs cost because they, not their house-hold help, actually go to the grocery every week, are too brokeor over-extended to splurge!!

same here, about 18 years on amazon and a total of 28 years selling books, but this is BS whats going on, something is broken here.
printed the end of day report with 3 sales when compared to the last year close to 30 and that was already much slower than previous year and again that was slower than three years before that.
getting to the point when getting back my life is the only healthy option, not interested in spending my life in the warehouse waiting to sell 3 books.

Here on Amazon, I'm not selling anything anymore. Sales have dropped too much.

Yeah, we're in the same boat - sales down 62% from last year. Amazon is killing us!
Seller_R7n1aMG4vfWaO
yes same here and I’m seeing the same message over and over. Our sales have been down 60-70% since Nov.7th. I’m just curious who is making the money because I highly doubt Amazon as a whole is down 60%.
