Not sure how long it's been this way, but I just noticed that all of the sub categories for handmade have disappeared. The information is still in the category listing report, but isn't being used on Amazon.com (see enclosed pictures, but I also have a loom recorded that I can't post here). When you are in a listing, it does not show the subcategory in the product details section:

it does not show the breadcrumbs at the top of the page:

the actual page for subcategory BSR's doesn't exist anymore,

and on the main Amazon BSR page, Handmade doesn't have a hyperlink anymore that opens into the subcategories.

I think this is one more thing that is having a sales impact for the handmade category because correct categorization has a huge impact on how items are shown on Amazon. Can you have a team member look into this ASAP? Thanks!

Why were all the categories in handmade deleted? I understand the migration, but I didn’t realise why my sales tanked until I went into the handmade section and all the categories are gone - so customers cannot go in and search through categories and subcategories. Would be nice to have this put back for the holiday season.

I'll just shout this out into the dark chasm of nothingness- who even comes to the "handmade" forums anymore? So at the end of February- they reclassified all of our products as just "handmade products" We have nothing else. No subcategories - no distinction of what our products are- not jewelry-not home goods- not clothing- not art- we are just all lumped together as "handmade products". Amazon knows in truth that we were going to suffer a loss of visibility- thus sales. Yet they continued to tell us that nothing was wrong and essentially there was nothing to do but wait. SO NOW- after I spent years of PAYING for ads ON AMAZON- 60k -which grew my organic keyword ranking- and making 100k-200k a year. I am supposed to just shrug my shoulders and say oh well. The ads I am running are GOING NOWHERE because my listings don't have the required data and categorization to place my items properly! I am so fed up with unprofessional acts of this marketplace. I just wish they would hold some accountability and some REAL ACTION to rectify this absolute MESS they have created.
