What is going on today with Amazon? I am scared to send in products.
Just noticed i had a lot of stranded units that popped up today. 55 of my listings have now either became Restricted ASIN's and or the product page deleted with multiple sellers on the listings for years (home good like towels). Now hot wheels have become Dangerous goods purchased through a distributor, have a few of those pages deleted as well. Better Homes and Gardens items all became Restricted. So now what will I be able to sell? It has been a constant battle year after year selling my Private label products that Amazon is never happy with the Doc's I submit. I do not even want to get started on how they are now taking almost 60% from us in fees, shipping and low inventory increases as well. I just do not understand how this company went downhill so fast. I use to be proud to sell on amazon and had nothing but great things to say about them. Now they are my most hated business and I do not even want to get a tooth pick from them anymore.

I have to 100% agree with you on this. They are definitely strong arming us as sellers are getting all f the benefit for them selves.

Well I recalled 40 or so out of the 55 units that was stranded. Daily now I have more units getting stranded. Now I am up to 96 stranded units, every few hours when I check, there are 3 or 4 new items that become restricted and stranded. All day long, every time I check just to see if there is a change, there are more added. Just more and items I have to recall, amazon is telling me to send in or I have to pay the low inventory fee. Yet I send them in, I have to pay to get them back. Then they delete the listing. I am not alone as there are many many other sellers and distributors on those listings. It has to be illegal what they are doing. They must be making money on the returns as well. Tell you to spend money to send in, restrict the item and charge you to get them back. I will make it my mission to make videos of this and plaster all over showing this to new sellers, hopefully I can save just 1 or 2 people from the hell. Everyone has videos on get rich on amazon but no one shows the hell you have to put up with. I started 2017 and went in heavy 2018, it was nothing like it is now. If they want us to stop selling, they just need to come out and say it.

I been selling FBA for 6 years now, and no issues, but last week they decided to suspect that $25k of my products were not authentic, even though im the owner of the brand and manufacture our products. Im still working on it, but customer support has been useless.

Ok slowed down today, only 105 items standard after amazon said send them in.
Now what do you do when amazon is telling me to send in 6 items or pay low inventory fees, on a now restricted Asin and they deleted the listing and I have 16 or so in their warehouse not being able to sell? Just did not pay to remove them yet.

Hello,
We've recently encountered an issue with our apparel listings on Amazon. Amazon appears to have removed the original parent variation ASINs from our catalogue and created hidden internal parent variation ASINs managed by the BigBets team. This prevents us from editing or adding attributes to our listings. As the Hidden Parent ASIN is not part of our catalogue and not searchable in Manage your Inventory as well.
Is anyone else in the apparel category facing a similar issue?
Are there any known workarounds to regain control over our Original Parent ASIN?

Slowed again for a few days, now at 115 items standard. Even had 2 items become stranded and listings deleted 5 hours after packed ready to be sent in. Looks like another week of not sending in anything. Looks like I will have to miss out on prime day, Thanks amazon.

I am fuming, it is not even funny. I am extremely (). WHY DOES AMAZON TELL ME TO SEND IN ITEMS TO BE RESTRICTED AND STRANDED. NOW 125 ITEMS STRANDED. There is no call for that. Do not tell me to send them in. I just do not understand this company anymore. What is going on with them. The worse decision I ever made was to get in bed with this company. It has to be the worse company in the world. Good luck finding a lawyer that will take on Amazon. It has to be illegal. This is how they treat sellers with 1 bad review in 8 years. It just feels like they are singling me out. They should just delete my account and get it over with., I just do not understand. I follow all the rules. I did everything required over the years. They make a ton of fees from me, yet I get treated like I am there worse seller on the platform.
