I’ve been staring at my P&L for the last two months trying to figure out why my margins are so thin despite decent velocity.

Like a lot of sellers, I obsess over bid optimization and negative keywords. But after auditing my own campaigns, I realized the real money pit wasn’t the PPC management–it was the creative production. I was running static images because I couldn’t justify dropping $2k on a professional video shoot for a product that was already struggling to break even.

Decided to test a workaround using an ads agent workflow I found. Basically, I fed it my existing white-background product photos and a rough script idea, and it spit out a few video variations with voiceovers and decent b-roll.

The quality isn’t Hollywood level–sometimes the AI motion is a little stiff–but for Amazon video ads, it actually works. My CTR went up, which naturally helped lower the ACoS since the algo favors better engagement.

Best part is I didn’t have to ship inventory to a studio or wait 3 weeks.

Figured I’d mention it since I see so many people here burning cash on agencies when the creative is the actual bottleneck. Numbers don’t lie I guess.

Can I set up Amazon seller app to notify me whenever I make a sale? How do I do that?

I am a small independent publishing house specializing in print paperback workbooks for educational test prep. I have 40 plus titles, sold about 1,500 copies last month, and we are scaling our catalog aggressively averaging 15 to 35 SKUs per test across multiple editions.

Due to the nature of the business, I need to mention specific exam names in [ideally] the titles, but even subtitles only would work also mentionining the test name in the covers, and descriptions to reach customers. Parents will not search for generic workbooks. I always include disclaimers stating no affiliation or endorsement. Should be totally allowed under the fair usage law. [I.E. Test prep for the SAT]

But I moved from KDP to a third party aggregator and the aggregator removed 10 listings all at once over a claimed trademark issue from Amazon, but they would not share any details or documentation. I suspect it was their preemptive call, not an official enforcement. I am now transitioning to Seller Central because there are many limitations with KDP and the aggregator I am using, and I am anxious about platform risks.

With my high volume setup, where i need to mention exam names and doing it for 20-30 SKUs, I am worried that if trademark claims hit multiple listings at once, it could lead to full account termination and lose years of work. Has anyone in test prep dealt with this? How do you navigate nominative fair use, prepare for mass complaints, or mitigate suspension risks?
After suspension, is there a real chance to get the account back? I’d be fine with removing the asins and not sell these asins anymore, I just want to keep selling on amazon. I am the author and 100% of my content is original, I have disclaimer in the description, book cover, and copyright pages of the books.

Any success stories or tips would help. Thanks!

Can I set up Amazon seller app to notify me whenever I make a sale? How do I do that?

I have been selling on Amazon FBA since 2017. At one point I was turning over £1000+ per day. About 3 years ago my sales started dropping and now im Lucky if i do £100 a day . I have created new listings with new products, and these have sold a little bit. People tell me that Amazon’s algorithm has changed massively in the past few years and it could be that all my older listings are obsolete. Does anyone have any advice?/ experience with this?

I have a professional sellers account and was approved for Handmade a few days ago.

When I follow these steps:

https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G201817280?locale=en-US

I don’t see any “Handmade Classification” attribute or this part:

Note: If you see Not listing a Handmade product? Change categories at the top of the screen, it is the previous listing experience. To see the new listing experience, click Change categories.

Is this information just out of date?

Is there not a Handmade Classification attribute I need to worry about anymore?

Thanks Reddit!
