@Philip05739 @AmazonASGTG Update your prices , even if it’s by 1 cent. Listing will return back to available. Just wait 10 mins after updating.

@AmazonASGTG A huge batch of my inventory has gone stranded for no obvious reason! What’s going on?!

Amazon down again?

@AmazonASGTG Sellers need to just update there prices even if it’s by 1 cent, and the listing will be back. I’ve just tried it.

@thePArepub @downdetector Listings are all back for me after I’ve updated the price

@thePArepub @downdetector I found a fix, update the price. The listing is still suppressed though.

User reports indicate problems with Amazon since 7:38 PM EDT. How is it affecting you? #AmazonDown downdetector.com/status/amazon/

@thePArepub @downdetector Oh same here

@jonahhodges_ That’s amazing but how are you able to open a second Amazon account without it being a issue?

@kitrr0 Got the original account back 6 months later - no idea how. Woke up one day and complaint was removed At the time I had another seller account so was able to transtion okay without completely falling off a cliff

I nearly lost everything when Amazon deactivated my account. 6 months. No income. $0. Now I take home 5 figures every month working 2-3 hours a day on my business. Here's what changed: 3 years selling wholesale on Amazon and I had it all figured out. Or so I thought. I was flipping textbooks in college. Made decent money. Then got into wholesale. Called distributors. Opened accounts. Bought in bulk. Resold. Cash was flowing. Business was growing. Then more sellers joined my listings. Prices tanked. Brands started cutting me off. So then I needed to expand my catalog and get more products. So I got sloppy and started buying from everyone. It worked for a minute. Then my account got DEACTIVATED. Bought from a shady distributor. ONE bad buy. Authenticity complaint hit. Couldn't prove the product was real. Everything gone. Just like that. That's when I realized: The old wholesale model is dying. "Sorry no more Amazon sellers" - you're gonna hear that more and more. Amazon's cracking down on authenticity. If you can't trace your product back to the manufacturer.. you're cooked. So I switched everything. Now I'm a brand growth partner. Here's what that actually means: I target brands doing $10K-$100K/month. Small companies you've never heard of. Not Dove. Not Colgate. Those guys only care how much money you have. I find brands who need HELP. I meet them at trade shows. I'm upfront: "I want to buy your product in bulk and help you grow online" They tell me their problems with Amazon. I solve them. ⦁ I manage seller cental ⦁ Fix their existing listings ⦁ Buy product in bulk ⦁ Store it for free ⦁ Help clean up supply chain I become their in-house Amazon partner. Not just another reseller trying to flip their products. Now I have brands I've been selling for 5+ years. Profitable every single day. Some do $10K/month revenue. Some do $150K/month. And the best part is, my competition has only gone down. No price wars. No racing to the bottom. No account suspensions. My distributors and brands refer me to more partners. I do barely any outreach now. Zero cold calling. Everything compounds. There was a time I used to work 12 hour days sourcing products that would die in 2 months. Now I source less, and we’re closing in on a million per month in revenue. & the business is healthy. But let me be real with you: This is NOT a side hustle. You need capital. You need credit. You need relationships & you need BALLS ( you're buying inventory upfront) If you're the broke 19-year-old looking to make quick cash - this ain't it. Brands don't want to work with some kid in his garage who will be out of the business in 6 months.. They want legit partners who add value. You might grind for 6 months before pulling profit. Most people quit way before that. But if you can: ⦁ Show up face to face ⦁ Have real conversations ⦁ Not quit when you hear "no" ⦁ Have $5-10K to deploy You can lock down partners that pay you for years. This is NOT passive income. It's front-end work. But once your products start selling? You can be anywhere in the world and profit every day. That's why I got into this. Not for the money. For the time freedom. For the location freedom. I didn't want a cubicle. I didn't want 40 hours a week in the same spot. Even if that job paid $500K/yr… wasn’t worth it to me. Now I hang with family. Help others. Do whatever I want. I don’t make as much money as a lot of people online, and that’s okay. I make enough to take care of my family, and completely own my day. The business works for ME. Amazon gives you the customers. You just need authentic products and real partnerships. That's it. The old model? Alibaba product launches? Liquidation flips? Dead. Amazon wants legit third-party sellers working with real brands. Be that person. 5 years ago it was easier. Now you gotta position yourself right. But if you stick with it? You'll make more money than you ever thought possible. And live a life that YOU control. - Jonah PS If you want to build your own Amazon wholesale business that scales without you, DM me ‘WHOLESALE’ and lets talk.

@inedbuilds Did you get a section 3 for Nike?

I miss just pumping Nike for 20k net a month on Amazon FBA & FBM

@inedbuilds If you have the correct documents try and reach out to people who can help get your account back there’s many that offer that service, they can help look over your appeal for you

@kitrr0 Section 3: inauthenticity

Both Amazon accounts are still locked. The cleaning business Google page is pending approval for the second time after already getting rejected once. No ads, no hiring, no Amazon revenue. Every active channel is sitting behind a gate I can't control right now. It would be easy to call the day a wash and wait for something to open up. Instead, I used the time on the cleaning side. None of it requires Google's approval. - Created an optimized job posting on Indeed so the listing is ready when ads go live - Put together interview questions for when applicants start coming in - Built out a financial spreadsheet to track income and expenses once the business is operational - Mapped out a detailed pricing structure for how I'll be quoting customers Amazon was its own headache. Three different agents, three different directions, all in one day. Reworked both appeals and submitted by end of night. Nothing is open yet. But when these doors clear, the work behind them is already done.

@GavinSweeneyy I’ve realised the same , most of those factories aren’t compliant or registered with the FDA.

quite interesting looking at all the importers/exporters who have quit due to the tariffs Way less competition on many listings esp. with Asian Country of Origin.

@FBA_Dylan Just seen this , let’s go. Congrats!

Final Section 3 Update- I won. (Will I continue selling?)

@christian_flips Should be good as long as you resolve the supposed violation

Update: February will be huge if my account doesn’t get deactivated from this section 3.

@juicy2163 Great results never really seen anyone do those kind of numbers on Walmart. How comes you don’t sell on Amazon too?

Results for 2025 #walmartsellers #walmartmarketplace

@LocdoesFBA @Flippin4Gold Same I guess it’s normal I wonder if there will be at least a little rebound

@Flippin4Gold I'm legit at 10% of what I was a couple days ago HELP 😭 is this normal

Big shout out to those small handful of customers who are still buying stuff from Amazon on Dec 24th

@parcelforce @Meksaiko Most useless social media account , just directing people to their website with no actual help

@lukericefba Yeah last yeah amazon were on one hitting people with a section 3 left , right and centre

your first real Q4 hit feels unreal until Amazon punches you in the mouth last year I was scaling fast ordered a big load from a supplier everything looked good then I noticed payouts getting sucked into reserve checked my email section 3 no reason no detail just “you’re under review” if you know you know it feels like getting audited by the IRS but for sellers easily one of the worst things that can happen most people panic or stop buying I submitted invoices cleaned up my account kept sourcing kept fulfilling kept moving hardest two weeks of my Amazon career but I got reinstated and that same Q4 went on to be one of my biggest few months ever every big seller has a story like this the ones who win are the ones who stay calm and keep pushing

@AmazonASGTG I knew there was something missing when I was looking at the manage inventory section

🚨 Amazon removed the “Fix Your Product” page — the only place they warned about items at risk for Invalid GTIN deactivation, seemingly for no reason. Now there’s zero warning. Listings go down. Anyone found a workaround or alternative?

@FBA_Dylan Got to use it as fuel to go harder you’ll be back soon.

Having your own father rejoice when the business you've been building for the last 18 months get's wrecked is probably the worst feeling I've had so far. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

@FBA_Dylan That’s unfortunate hope it gets sorted asap! Was it mis branded as in generic listing or people selling under their own trademark? What type of category was the product ?

More Context (PART 1): There were mis-branded listings that were in my inventory, which were not active, that lead to this deactivation. I have invoices for all 3 of the products that were noted, 1 of the invoices being from Amazon themselves. I'm aware that the products were
