Amazon's Bots going crazy? Numerous items suddenly flagged as Plants and Seeds!

by Seller_1aFu5QXZcX15m

Oh my goodness, suddenly today numerous ASINs in my inventory -- consisting of sewing patterns and stitchery kits! -- are being flagged as non-compliant because they are deemed Plants and Seeds by Amazon's bots! I'm being instructed to recategorize these, when they are already in the correct category. Some of these items have been part of my inventory for a very long time. After waiting on hold for nearly an hour, Account Health helped me figure out how to file an appeal, and subsequently quite a few MORE items were added to the list. This is so upsetting.

Yes! We have 23 that are all coffee and tea products. Correctly listed as well. Some FB groups are having people state all sorts of items like monopoly boards, a hat, candy and so on.

Amazon needs to clean this up. This is becoming a consistent issue with bots going crazy.

I have over 20 now! And just looked at what needs to be done to fix Amazon's crazy bot opinions and it wants us to write a book and send "proof" like pictures and documents! Jeez READ the freaking AD!

Exact same issue here. I sell toys that can't remotely be confused for "Pants and Seeds" and my list of "violations" is growing as I type.

I only wish I could take the shoes we sell and grow them into more shoes. That would make my life so much easier. I cannot believe how long it’s taking Amazon to respond to this. They should be on top of this within an hour at the worst.
