I just feel everyone should be aware that Amazon is currently in the process of admitting there is a bug in their system that is zeroing out inventory as it goes into transshipment. Inventory is constantly lost at Amazon and with them reeling in the amount of time you are even allowed to ask for reimbursements, this is just another way they can absolve themselves taking responsibility for lost inventory.

I'd encourage all sellers to check their inventory(especially recently sent inventory), to make sure that the counts are correct and demand correction if it is not. Amazon will continue to operate this way unless more and more sellers point out the way Amazon continues to obscure and misrepresent things as important and black and white as inventory counts.

Hi, Chiming in with others here. The process does feel really sluggish recently. As a seller, the inbound placement fees feel very out of sync with the slowness that my fba inventory is sellable and checked in. Fully understand and appreciate that there is a process to everything and I don't expect magic, but it feels out of sync and Amazon's team should be aware of this dynamic.

I just ran across yet another Amazon bug. They're like minefields, you never know when one is going to trip you up. I don't normally offer premium shipping options, but I had a customer say they really needed an item shipped by Next Day Air, so I added the option to the shipping template so they could order it that way with the appropriate shipping cost. Then, I unchecked the "Next Day" option in the shipping template to turn it back off when we were done. Lo and behold apparently while Amazon's system was making the change (probably about 15 minutes), Amazon made all of the products on the template offer the Next Day shipping option for free! It was never set to free. Now Amazon is expecting me to ship the order by Next Day Air due to their inability to properly program. Not happening, I'll just take the premium shipping hit and lose premium shipping. I never use it anyway, I was just trying to do a buyer a favor. That will teach me! I messaged the buyer and informed them of Amazon's screw up and that the order won't be shipping by Next Day Air as Amazon led them to believe.
