AMAZON IS KICKING SELLERS OFF POKEMON LISTINGS RIGHT BEFORE BLACK FRIDAY.
Posted by u/xdzqx
FIRST IT WAS “DEACTIVATED FOR PRICE ERRORS”.
NOW IT’S FOOD & PRODUCT SAFETY????
WHAT IS GOING ON AT AMAZON?
Independent sellers are getting hit with widespread “Potential High Pricing Error” deactivations. We had 18 offers affected, 16 with no reference price displayed. Lowering prices didn’t fix anything. Now it’s happening when we try listing more inventory.
THESE ARE COLLECTIBLES.
A Pokémon box that retailed for $50 years ago might be worth $300 today. Since when is appreciation a pricing violation?
BUT THAT’S NOT EVEN THE BIGGEST PROBLEM.
Amazon Retail is STILL selling on some of the SAME listings where independent sellers are being restricted.
AND NOW SIX MORE OF OUR POKEMON PRODUCTS ARE SHOWING ACCOUNT HEALTH VIOLATIONS WITH FOOD & PRODUCT SAFETY IN THE MIX.
FOOD & PRODUCT SAFETY??? WE’RE SELLING TRADING CARDS.
How many different reasons are sellers going to be given for why they suddenly can’t sell their inventory?
And how convenient is it that this is happening right before Black Friday while Amazon continues taking orders?
Plenty of other sellers are reporting the same problems in the forums, yet the issue continues to remain ignored or misunderstood.
WHO’S INVESTIGATING THIS?
