We sell badges, mainly birthday badges.
Over time Amazon has put them in Clothing accessories, Home & Garden, but mainly Toys & Games. Today we get an email advising that 50 of our listings are moving from whatever category they are in to Jewellery.... jewellery!
In the same report..... some they already have in Jewellery are moving into the category that others are being moved out of. Pure madness.
How do you deal with this? The move will add 15%+ in some cases to the fee and as we rely on bulk sales for small margins. This change makes it barely worthwhile. Just as we are recoving from S&L loss we get another issue!
These badges are going to be treated as if they are precious metal.... they are just a birthday badge fit for one use and then in most cases the bin! Yet the fee goes from 41p to 55p per badge in some cases. In our packs they go from 6.12 to 8.16 fee.
I have opened a case but my breathe is not being held.
