Has someone turned off Amazon Sales today?
I never have zero sales by this time, midweek usually a very busy day. Just one sale on MFN and FBA combined!!
Sales have been terrible for 2 weeks, lowest for sometime - do you think many are moving accross to TikTok shop now?

I actually thought I was the only one that noticed.

I don't think the impending Labour budget is helping. Still another month away as well!! People don't know what is in store, so I believe they are keeping their money in the bank.

I have noticed with my historical data that Amazon is in decline in my particular market. as they are signing a lot of exclusive rights deals with a lot of major brands and re-gating them as sole sellers.
With this, they hardly have the choice of products that several sellers combined would carry, and you find a lot of items out of stock or not even available now.
Items that would normally be a race to the bottom on price with the competition (and better for the customer) are now price fixed and Amazon are selling the stock they do have at inflated prices due to the exclusivity they now command.(customer centric ? i don't think so !)
Customers are starting to get wise to this and we have found our other platforms increasing in sales of these brands due to unavailability on Amazon or inflated prices. (one item i sell for £40 on another platform, Amazon sell for £80)
A lot of people i know are getting frustrated with Amazon and walking away due to their lack of choice and availability, as well as Prime one day deliveries being delayed by up to 5 days due to "technical delay" with no explanation.
My Amazon sales are down around 40% this year but my other platforms are up by the same margin.... coincidence????

On top of that, now they've made 'deferred payments' a thing, getting paid will be an even slower process. A lot of people have just sent their kids back to school not too long ago. maybe this is impacting your sales.
Have you looked at the current seller rank for your items?
Sometimes the same item has 2 or more seller ranks when you go to 'add product', maybe this is something to look into.

Define "moving over"? You should never keep your eggs in one basket. I sell across eBay, OnBuy, Amazon, TikTok Shop, My own website. When one platform is down, one of the others is usually up.
Do Amazon and TikTok!

Years ago, Ebay upset so many sellers with silly rituals like the 5 star system, messing around with top rated seller and everything was set up in the buyers favour so I, like many others jumped ship and moved here.
Now, it feels the same is happening again. Sales the last few weeks have been as bad as twenty years ago and moral is low with Amazon sellers looking at these boards.
These platforms don't learn that their sellers are buyers too. Upset us then we won't buy either.
Look at how desperate Ebay are right now, practically giving it away and I don't think it'll work - the damage is done. Amazon will be soon behind them with their greed first, consumers second.
Uncertainty with this new, Government isn't helping either.
Anyhow - building a Tiktok shop this week so fingers crossed.
