Recently, I came across threads addressing blockers with category and browse path changes. I have been working with some of you on your cases. I wanted to share some information about managing product categories and browse paths using Amazon's self-service tools.

🔑 Key Points:

1. What You Can Do:

• Change browse paths/nodes for single or multiple products

• Reassign products to different categories

• Update product classifications

2. Two Main Methods:

A) Individual Listing Updates:

• Go to Manage All Inventory

• Search for your ASIN/SKU

• Edit Product Details

• Update Recommended browse node

B) Bulk Updates (Professional Sellers):

• Use Add Products via Upload

• Download appropriate template

• Update browse nodes in bulk

• Submit spreadsheet

✔ Pro Tips:

• Download browse tree guides first from Inventory file templates

• Ensure products are active before requesting changes

• Remember that title, bullet points, and description are crucial for classification

• Multiple browse nodes only work for media ASINs and unisex items

⚠️ Important: If the self-service tool isn't working for your needs, you can still contact Seller Support for assistance.

❓ What has been your experience with category changes? Please feel free to share your case details if you encounter any difficulties implementing category changes.

Ungating lego
by Seller_FebNP8LDmqQqf

Hello,

I am a new seller trying to get ungated in different Brands. I have purchased 10 items off of the official LEGO store, provided pictures of the items, packaging, invoice and it keeps on getting rejected - I spoke to customer service and all they could tell me was its a problem with the invoice. Do you have any idea what this may be? Any tips?

Thanks in advance.

I am listing some secondhand books for sale, as I have done in the past. However, there are several which I am now unable to list as Amazon now needs me to request seller approval for the brands in question (the publishers of the books).

In each case, I am only selling a single copy and it is one that I bought some time ago for my personal use. I no longer have the receipt(s) but in any case, this would only be for a single copy and not list my address etc. As a result, I am unable to provide the documentation requested.

The publishers include Sage, Routledge, MIT Press and I.B. Tauris. Is there a solution to this issue? Currently, these branding restrictions make it impossible for an individual to sell their own books online through Amazon.

Negative Seller Feedback for missed delivery?
by Seller_9B7RXTh2FnfNg

Hi, I recently had an order which shipped out correctly with Evri and when they attempted to deliver, no one was in so it was returned to the depot. They tried 3 more times before they then returned it back to me. The buyer later left negative feedback out of the blue saying item wasn't delivered?? I don't get how this is my fault and why hey have left negative seller feedback? I'm a fairly new seller on Amazon so this feedback has caused my order defect rate to go above the target due to the small quantity of MFN orders that I do. I was wondering if anyone could help? Thank you

Amazon replied

We have recently registered our brand name on amazon. Our products have a trademark printed on them. Currently, our products are listed as Generic. How can I change the listing brand name from Generic to my own trademark brand name?

Competitive External Price Amazon
by Seller_9KsfDSuKJzCAJ

Hi,

I can see that other sellers are also having issues with the "Competitive External Price." Can anyone advise on how we can avoid this problem?

Amazon still doesn’t seem to understand that companies/sellers have different margins across marketplaces or other channels, and prices can’t always be the same due to different criteria. It’s not fair, because when Amazon flags the competitive price on certain ASINs, we’re forced to match it in order to keep the Buy Box — even when we offer Prime shipping.

Also, we can’t even increase the price by £0.01 because we immediately losing the Buy Box again. We opened some cases and explain the situation but it seems nothing change and hard to find people to understand the issue

I hope to receive some tips on how we can manage this and how we can ask Amazon to remove the "Competitive External Price."

Many Thanks

I am looking for some help please from the Mods regarding an issue Seller support cannot understand and are not helping at all.

We sell Sunglasses and eyewear and we pay extra to include a carry pouch and cleaning cloth with every set, because customers want this, it helps improve the life span of the item, allows for cleaning and prevents damage.

Around 2 years ago we changed some images to show this and the accessories as they are fundamental to the product and for the customer buying experience. We spoke with Amazon who confirmed this was completely acceptable, but there should be no swing tags or product packagaing.

Completely fair and understandable. Fast forward to now, we have put some images on and they have instantly been supressed.

It is because the system thinks that the pouch is a swing tag. I totally get that with the drawstring. Previously we were told to get the catalog team to check this and then overide it as it was not correct. So it should be really simple.

However, seller support are not helpful in this. We have gone from, oh its a swing tag, which its not and we proved, to its packaging, which its not and we proved. To your not allowed to put accessories on the image, which again according to Amazons own terms and conditions is completely wrong. To "do not show accessories or any props that ARE NOT included with the purchase., which is not relevent as THEY ARE included.

I understand no tags, and no packaging and not including props or images of things not included, as that would confuse the customer, but my images are very compliant and more than that they inform the buyer. If someone is looking for a set of glasses and two are side by side and the customer wants on with a pre ready protective pouch and cleaning cloth, then they should be able to see that item and select it.

But seller support seem to be quoting random bits of the policy which are not even relevent, its going around and around and around the case ID is 11153215832.

1, the system flagged the item as maybe having packaging or swing tags on it. We have confirmed as you can see that the product packagaing is a clear transparent bag with our logo and details on. The swing tag for the product has our details on ans ISO 12312.1 safety information. Neither of these are shown on the image, so this is not relevent

2, You have provided this link to image guidelines, as I am telling you a carry case in this case and cleaning cloth is an important product feature as it protects the product from damages and allows cleaning, customers actively search for this. Your own guidelines catagorically state this is ok.

3, For the next paragraph you quoted, it says "do not show accessories or any props that ARE NOT included with the purchase." Makes complete sense as you do not want a customer buying a set of sunglasses and expect a pouch and cloth. However, as you can clearly see every single set has this. So they are included, as such this paragraph is not relevent

4, It then says the following, as such you can clearly see that where accessories are included they should be included in the image.

"Only show one unit of the product and any accessories that are included in the purchase. For multipacks or assortments, read further guidance in the Product category section below.

Don’t show accessories or any props that aren’t included with purchase and might confuse the customer."

5, "Don’t include packaging, unless it’s an important product feature, for example, a carrying case or gift basket may be included."

https://sellercentraleurope.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G1881mons_sel_mkid=amzn1.mp.o.A1F83G8C2ARO7P&mons_sel_dir_mcid=amzn1.merchant.d.ACPJBQ35I4ZAOXBUOVF3ZIEA6Q7Q&mons_sel_dir_paid=amzn1.pa.d.ADUNAFDM4ETMWHPGJQR2G2BIURMA&ignore_selection_changed=true

It is highly relevent and important to customers to be able to see the full item they are purchasing. If you were to buy a Karcher K19 power washer and I was selling it with a snow foam and extra powerful nose attachement, you would expect to see them in the image wouldnt you ? as they are highly relevent to the product.

In the same way, if I had a Karcher and was selling it with a lovely handy travel case, you would expect to see that on the image also. Or if I was selling a mobile phone carry case, tempered glass screen protector, you would expect it to have those on the image as they are incldued.

Mnay people actively search for Reading glasses with pouch, or sunglasses with pouch and cleaning cloth and I know from previous conversations that this is absolutely fine and fully compliant, but I am getting nowehere with the current seller support so any help is greatly appreciated

Have any other sellers seen a massive surge of ASINs flagged on their At Risk listings page this week?

Over the last 4 days I have had 130 ASINs (shared, not ones I created) flagged as being at risk of search suppression all because the unit count data field is blank. Not being the brand owner I don't know a way to fix these easily, I need to raise a case for each one as Seller Support seem to require a photograph for each one as evidence for the change.

I was curious to see whether this was a widespread issue or whether I was special & whether anyone had any smart ideas for fixing it please?

A+ Content Missing
by Seller_yfnlwJtKziIvF

Hi,

I spent all of yesterday adding A+ content to my listings, I originally just had 1 module for most listings but decided to bulk my listings out with some extra modules (4/5 per listing) with helpful info and images.

I submitted my new modules for approval last night and today they all seem to have gone missing not only from the listings but also the editor, It's like I never made anything.

I understand it can take a while for things to be approved and then a bit extra for them to be published to the applied ASIN's, but in this case some of them are already classed as 'approved' and even 'published' but missing all the work I did last yesterday.

Does anyone have any idea what may have happened or if this is normal? I'm willing to give it another try but since I have no idea what went wrong, nor have i received any emails to say anything was unapproved or incorrect, I am not sure how I avoid this same thing happening again.. It was across 5 or 6 listings all submitted across a whole day, so not a case of a simple mis-click or loss of conection etc..

Thanks

Variation by Gender and Model
by Seller_JdV9Aoe4027WV

I am new to sales and I am confused about product variations. I print t-shirts and I have several models of teddy bears for example. How can I add model variations? Should I add a new product for each model? And the second question is how do I add all genders to the same product (men woman girl boy)? Thanks
