Help! My ASIN got delisted on Amazon. What can I do? ๐ก๐
Most 1P Vendors will have encountered this situation. The delisted item may even have a higher Net PPM than the vendor account.
There are many reasons why a product gets delisted:
๐ โ๏ธ Manual profit interventions from Vendor Managers
๐ธ One-off events like liquidations that spike Amazon's costs
๐ท๏ธ Decline in product ASP due to 3P sellers or price matching
๐๏ธ Heavy/bulky products that require higher Net PPM margins
๐ High return rates due to missing or incomplete PDP content
The problem is:

Which puts you at risk of financing the defect but not eliminating it.
So whenever a product gets delisted:
1- Ignore the Net PPM or margin demands from Amazon
2- Review ASP performance vs the last quarter and YoY
3- Assess changes to return rates and defective inventory
4- Benchmark your 1P margins vs Amazon's 3P FBA rate card
5- Understand if it's a one-off or structural margin defect
Once you have gone through the above, you'll be better positioned to assess your options for getting the product relisted.
How are you dealing with delisted products?
