They want to steal your money and inventory, can't you read the writing on the wall. They are probably so pressured to provide positive results to their stockholders. I have read so many threads where sellers have their inventory stolen every other way and then amazon sells it as their own. These rats wont answer you because they know how evil and nefarious they are. Do as I do, I file a report with all the agencies in each state everyday they ignore my request to fix my issues. They are stealing our inventory, they have lost several thousand dollars of my inventory. I wrote an email to the POS Ceo Andy Jassy the f...coward had his assistant send me a link to the FAQs section. I am filing everyday a report to each State General's Attorneys office in the U.S> so far I have filed a complaint in 3 states, the FTC, the department of commerce, I wrote to my Governor, the Governor of Seattle. Tomorrow I am writing a letter to the office of the President .

Hey @Ricardo_AmazonI'm trying to figure out how to register my products for Black Friday and Cyber Monday and I cannot find it. I've tried in the Deals tab and Prime Exclusive Discounts and I'm not seeing anything to register for those two events. Can you please tell me where I can register for BF and CM?
