Well this Safety compliance error and subsequent appeal has now happened on multiple occasions so beginning to wonder if it is a common issue and if other sellers have experienced the same.
Occurring on multiple established products with strong category sales, feedback and with perfect account health, It will be early in the morning and a bot decides the listing is non compliant for spurious safety reasons and restricts the listing. after a successful appeal the listing does not automatically reinstate stock is stranded starting the usual chain of events.
Contact to seller support to reinstate does nothing and it is referred to "the appropriate department" and nothing happens!
One time a dog lead that apparently did not have the correct certification for a climbing harness! but as most humans would know a dog lead is not a climbing harness.
This time a best seller on the morning of the first day of the prime event after spending thousands in advertising building up to that moment and the day after Amazon recommending suggesting 2000 more are urgently sent in to FBA Amazon.
Now with these Prime days coming to an end as a seller we are left with a fraction of planned sales, stranded inventory , stock on the way to FBA also to become stranded and the loss of a significant advertising investment. Yet still the listing is not reinstated despite the fact there is no compliance issue in the account health dashboard and support cases unanswered and simply showing "Work In Progress".
