Started in 2009, at one point I was in the top 20% on Amazon. A few years later, Amazon started selling in my category and moved me down on searches and what not.
At that time we had to search for a different product, so we ended up designing a product in a completely different category, trademarked a brand, and launched it... The product did well, so we sent it to FBA, where sales quickly picked up; however, each year we noticed our profits lower and lower.
The fees and new fees coming up almost every quarter were killing us, and then this and last year have been a huge headache with sudden reversals for inventory over ASINs that aren't even ours. Somewhere FBA made a mistake with a product and decided to punish us for their mistake. This is where we draw the line and say no more.
I hope one day a class action litigation puts an end to this fraud you are committing against 3P sellers, not only with shipping adjustments, but also lost inventory and price manipulation.
Not going to lie, we made money selling on this platform 10 years ago, but now we are seeing our profits diminish so much that isn't even worth it. Not even the time we spend writing to Seller Support, to receive canned broken English responses back and forward and surprise fees coming up suddenly on our account.
Enough...
Wish you all luck, and keep fighting for what's fair our there.
This is my last post/reply.
