Hello,
So I have been in this frustrating situation for a bit more than 2 years now.
2 years ago, I received a (false) IP complaint (by the author himself) about a used book, saying my book was counterfait but I could not prove I did not do any wrongdoings. I bought this used book at a thrift store bout since the invoice was only saying ''book'' instead of the book title, I did not have enough proof and the strike stuck for 6 months.
I immediately lost buy box during that time. Fast forward to today, I can get the buy box in various categories, but I did not get it back in the books category even though it says i'm eligible for it. I tried everying. I priced down all the remaining books I had to have the best price availaible, nothing changed. People can have the buy box with a book that's $20 more expensive than mine, new or used it doesn't matter.
Anyone had this experience before? This is frustrating because I liked selling books even though I pivoted to other niches now.
