We opened a Seller Central Account in addition to a 1P account and listed a completely new product on Seller Central ONLY. The listings are being taken down, stating we need to submit selling application, despite being a brand representative. Is this Amazon’s way of blocking us from doing hybrid?

I finally sat down to do a deep dive into my Nov-Jan numbers and the reality is a lot uglier than I thought. Even though we had $4.3k in PPC sales, my Net P&L was -$932.

Looking at the “Hard Numbers” table I built, a few things stand out that I think other sellers should watch for:

• The Break-Even Trap: My US break-even is 32.6%, but my blended ACoS was 34.4%. I was essentially paying for the privilege of selling my inventory.
• Campaign Bloat: I realized I had 70 campaigns, but only 5 were actually active. The rest were just noise.
• The CA Margin Gap: My Canada margins (~24.9%) are way tighter than the US, which I didn’t account for in my bidding strategy.

Has anyone else dealt with this “high sales/negative profit” trap during peak season? I’m moving my production to Turkey this year to try and widen the margins because 32% just isn’t cutting it with current PPC costs.

Curios to hear how others are auditing their “Live Numbers” vs just looking at the Seller Central dashboard.

Do you guys have huge swings (for a given SKU) even without changing anything like ad spending? For example, the last 4 days, my SKU sold 10 units, 10 units, 8 units, 4 units.

For context, I’m registering a brand I do not own but have a LOA with and have already listed products under the brand.

The enrollment process is a little unclear. The first page in the process states you have to be the brand owner to enroll said brand under your seller account. The next page asks if you’re the owner or have an LOA/contract. Do I have to be the legal owner of the brand to initially get it enrolled in Amazon?

Ideally, I would enroll the brand under my seller account with my LOA without messing with getting access from an official brand account. The brand owner’s my father who is prone to levels of stress proportional to the amount of time he spends on confusing websites so I’d rather limit his required involvement to just collecting checks from me.

Thanks!

I’m trying to get reimbursed for lost inventory in AWD, but the case hasn’t gotten a response for weeks. If I close the case and open a new one, they just reopen the old case and close the one I just created.

as the title says, I want to download an excel file which will have all the details in a period for all the invoices issued.

I want this to bulk upload invoices to my accounting and inventory management software.
