I used to come here daily for social interaction and help with my amazon problems.

I frequently got better answers here than from amazon's help center. Why? hands on experience with problems they had solved in the past.

The social aspects were the fun part. Sharing pets stories, family adventures, even hard times and grief. support, sometimes hands on advice for those who had been thru it.

It appears this has been happening over the course of the last month and old posts are not receiving a response.

Maybe we will garner more attention than 6 or 7 separate posts. Post what you are seeing, case numbers, contact info, solutions?

I have been an Amazon Handmade seller since the program’s early days, with consistent year-over-year growth.

In 2024, my store exceeded $140K in sales. I was on track to match that performance in 2025 until the recent Handmade reclassification changes began impacting my listings.

Despite ensuring all products were properly categorized and fully compliant with Amazon’s guidance, my store experienced a sudden and severe loss of visibility and sales. Revenue dropped over 50% during the reclassification period, and I closed the year down 30% compared to 2024.

Based on current trends, my store is projected to perform 60–70% below 2024 levels.

This outcome appears to be shared by hundreds of Handmade sellers who followed Amazon’s instructions yet experienced the opposite of the promised increase in visibility.

Can Amazon please clarify:

How reclassified Handmade listings are expected to retain historical ranking and relevance

Why compliant sellers are seeing major sales declines instead of increased discoverability

Whether any corrective measures are planned for affected Handmade sellers

This week has been the Worst week in 7 years on Amazon as a handmade seller. It appears that All of my listings got reclassified this week, with no email, no warning, nothing. As a result my sales have gone from about about $100 and 10-15 sales a day to ZERO. Literally ZERO today. I had ONE sale yesterday. TWO sales on Wednesday, 2 sales on Tuesday.

@Seller_FJwyF3iu5qxUY has said several times that if you didn't get the email you aren't part of the reclassification but I ABSOLUTELY was part of the reclassification this week. All of my listings went to "scrapbooking and sticker machines". I was NEVER in that category before. It's a sewing and crafts category and not relevant to what I actually sell, which is Cut Vinyl Stickers. I don't sell anything for scrapbooks, nor do i sell sticker machines.

Is there ANY WAY to undo this mess and get my sales ranks and positions back in GUILD? This is an unmitigated disaster of epic proportions. I had several listings highly visible and selling well. ASIN B0BNNY99R7 was averaging 3+ sales PER DAY. I haven't had a single one in days since the reclassification.

I've tried everything including lowering my prices that were already low to gain even ONE SALE, and nothing. Nothing is working and I fear that my time on Amazon has come to an end as a result. This was NOT what we were promised 10 months ago. I keep getting forced into Guinea Pig type of situations with Amazon. They make changes and force me into things without notice, without notification. If they had given me a heads up or ANYTHING. I had to find out that I had been reclassified because I was getting NO SALES. Someone PLEASE HELP FIX THIS.
