Seller Performance snoozing /Medical claim warnings / Event ’20 speaker list complete.

Hello All1) Seller Performance was very slow this past week possibly because of the time of year. If you’re waiting a few days for a response, probably smart to send a poke to make sure you get a response. If you received an email the last few days that they will call within 24 hours and didn’t, likely was related to this delay.

Try your best to avoid making direct claims on curing medical issues “This product has been identified as claiming to be a treatment, cure, or remedy for a disease.

To be considered for reinstatement, please remove the prohibited disease claim from the detail page and appeal the restriction.

4) “My name is XXXXXX and I am on Amazon’s Executive Seller Relations team. This regarding the letter you sent to XXXXXX regarding the reinstatement of ASIN XXXXXXXX. At this juncture, we do not allow Sellers to re-brand an item under an existing ASIN, per the policy on the below help page. ASIN XXXXXXXX will remain suspended as the brand name was changed. Once an ASIN is created, a UPC and brand name is tied to that ASIN. If the brand name changes, we would then consider that item to be materially different than the original product and would ask you to create a new ASIN with the new branding. Please note, with the new ASIN you’ll also need a new UPC as it is a different product. “
