Suits Embrace AI / 15+year Seller Horror Suspension / ASGTG Rebranding

Hello all

1️⃣ Funds that were held for the strange VAT issue were released for many EU accounts. Some are still frozen; If you Drop Ship and you’re not the seller of record, even with zero complaints from anyone, Amazon can freeze your funds and suspend you for COC violation. They view this as fraud; The Suits were in a better mood this week, chatting up AI and how Amazon is embracing it “with a regulatory approach that allows AI innovation to thrive.”

2️⃣ This long-term, highly compliant seller with 11 employees was suspended for a legal-related account that was suspended for a very minor issue—please help surface .

4️⃣ “We removed some of your listings because you did not provide us with valid Serial number barcodes when shipping seller fulfilled inventory. The listings we removed are at the bottom of this message. In the future, Amazon could withhold your payment for customer orders directly fulfilled by you without uploading Serial number barcodes in Seller Central or MWS API. Why did I receive this message? The item(s) listed at the end of this email are part of Amazon’s Transparency program.”

5️⃣ This Amazon Seller claims to have lost 200k in PPC fees on buyers in CA for items that cannot actually be purchased. This seller waited for three years for a refund of an A2Z claim and it paid off.

6️⃣ “This has resulted you to be permanently be ineligible for deals with no escalation path to resolve. You are subjected to Non-Eligibility of Deals with no escalation path to resolve.”

9️⃣ “Invoice should be dated before the ship-by date.”

🔟 If you receive a request for a virtual meeting for anything related to “unsuitable goods,” do not send anything else to FBA until the matter is resolved.
