Unusual amount of no sales what so ever!
i must say this is the worst its ever been for me on amazon i have sold close to nothing for more than two weeks now i really feel like something has changed somewhere as to why im not getting a single sale, i am only a small seller anyway with selling an average of 100-150 items a month before things came to a grinding halt, ive done some of my own product searches and they appear to be searchable and even checked to see whether my listings were still active, which they were, so maybe this is just a slow patch and quickly returns back to some regular sales again,.im sure its not just me in situation??

You might want to check that your listings haven’t been hijacked and undercut by another seller (especially a foreign one) My sales also fell off a cliff 2 weeks ago. I usually get notifications through my Amazon Seller Central page if someone has undercut me, but I have received nothing. It was only when I checked my inventory that I saw that over 100 of my best sellers had been undercut by an ARMENIAN seller that I found the problem. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it unless you can afford to undercut them again. Silly really because I am losing hundreds a week in lost sales and consequently Amazon is losing hundreds in lost commission every month, because even though this guy has undercut me no one wants to order from Armenia! So both myself and Amazon are losing money, but Amazon quite amazingly do nothing about it. Well I say amazingly, nothing surprises me anymore about the ridiculousness of some of Amazons policies. Don’t even get me started on their new policy of blocking all buyers from receiving messages!!!

Hi the captains chest,
I know exactly how you feel, this is way beyond anything I have ever experienced on Amazon and in my case it has nothing to do with anybody on the listings undercutting me.
I have just looked at my orders and ebay is trundling along as usual, slow but still selling. I have not one single order on Amazon. I normally have an average of twice the number of orders per day on Amazon that I do on ebay. When Amazon goes to zero but sales are continuing on ebay as normal for this time of year, that indicates there is something very wrong.
The last three weeks have been really awful. I am getting a bit fed up trying to find reasons and excuses for this, school holidays, the weather, paying cards after Christmas, and anything else I can possibly think of. But when it is not affecting ebay and sales on there are actually 10% up on this time last year, then I am seriously concerned about what is happening here.
The only thing is that I can see from the Forum that I am not alone in having these problems. But that does not help anyone’s sales.

PPC ads are killing you and many others it’s that simple.

Me too -less than one book per week this month, compared to 4 or 5 per week in 2017, even though I try to freshen up my listings from my book collection. Feels as if I’m just being ‘switched off’ for days on end,

I am a tiny seller myself but this is ridiculous. For a minute there I thought Amazon had suspended my selling account and I just missed it. My account is fine, my listings work fine but I sell close to zero. This is the worse I have ever experienced and from what I can tell, bigger sellers are also affected by whatever is causing this. Small or occasional sellers are just being demolished…

Yes, my sales have dived to near nothing.
Usually after weekend sales, I have 25 - 35 orders to dispatch on a Monday. Today, I have 8 
Hopefully things will pick up for all of us.
