Hello everyone I hope all is well

So I am new seller on Amazon. I sell Mattresses, Rugs and Sandal..

The other day I uploaded my products to Amazon.. I noticed product type wouldn’t match the product itself. For example on Mattresses Amazon listed as FITTED SHEET on some of them amazon listed as Bed! Btw the Main photo is Mattress with white background.

And on my rugs Amazon listed the rug Pillow!!

And on my shoes Amazon listed the shoes as Slippers!!!

I noticed something strange.. on one of the mattresses.. it was “MATTRESS” the first 48hrs.. then 3 days later I come and check, I see it changed to BED FRAME!

I don’t get it…

I’m facing an issue with one of my product.
We sell Gym Dumbbells with the following weight variations:

• 5 kg pair
• 7.5 kg pair
• 10 kg pair
• 12.5 kg pair
• 15 kg pair
• 17.5 kg pair

The issue is specifically with the 15 kg pair variation.

Problems is:

1. The product is not going live.
2. It shows as “Currently unavailable.”
3. There are two SKUs listed under the same ASIN when viewed in Manage Inventory.

I tried moving this product to FBA (Seller Flex), but during inbound, I receive this error:

I already contacted Seller Support, but the issue remains unresolved.

I want to make this product live again.
Would it help if I remove this variation and recreate a new one under the main ASIN?

Not sure if this has been discussed here yet, but I’ve been tracking a huge development this week that impacts the whole Amazon ecosystem.

As of Oct 31, Amazon is officially required to start reporting detailed seller data (revenue, identity, etc.) for all China-based sellers directly to the Chinese tax authorities. This is based on new regulations from the Chinese government that went into effect this month.

I was reading a breakdown on China Briefing and a few other sources, and it seems this is the end of a long era where many sellers could operate in a tax gray area. The first report covers Q3 2025, and apparently, audit notices are already going out.

Seems like this could have some significant ripple effects on competition, ad costs, and pricing across the platform. It’s not a simple “US vs. China” thing, as many of the big, compliant Chinese brands will be fine, but the smaller, non-compliant sellers who relied on this to keep prices artificially low are likely in for a rough time.

Just wanted to put this on everyone’s radar as it seems like a pretty fundamental market shift.

What are your thoughts? Anyone seeing any immediate effects on their ad campaigns or categories?

On my FBM seller page Amazon posts how many units I’ve sold in a month time frame, does this figure take into account item returned ? Or,is it simply as it states item sold ?

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here with more experience in Amazon search or indexing can shed some light. I’ve published a 12-book series of word search puzzle books under the brand Professor Rocko’s Word Search Puzzle Books.

All books have been live for about two months. They’re properly categorized, optimized for keywords, and connected through the official KDP series manager. Each title is professionally formatted with clean metadata and detailed descriptions.

Here’s the issue: none of my books appear in search results unless I type my brand name exactly (“Professor Rocko”). Even very specific queries like “music word search” or “food and drink word search” don’t return my titles — not even many pages deep.

I’ve contacted Amazon support, but the only answer I received was a generic link to their FAQ on “how search works.” No confirmation that my titles are properly indexed.

So, my questions for those of you who manage books or products at scale:

• How can I confirm whether my KDP titles are actually being indexed for their backend and front-end keywords?
• Have you ever had to deal with indexing delays or bugs on new KDP books?
• Are there effective ways (other than PPC) to “nudge” Amazon’s system to recognize new listings?
• And realistically — is running Amazon Ads the only way now to get traction for new books in a crowded niche?

This is my first publishing venture, and I’m trying to understand what’s normal vs what’s a technical issue. I’ve spent a lot of time researching, reading subreddits, and testing metadata adjustments, but I’m still at a loss for why the books seem completely invisible.

Any insights, diagnostic tips, or personal experiences would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

So, I’m helping clean out my brother’s house, and he had a bit of an Amazon hoarding habit… He has somewhere north of 50 unopened items from Amazon that are all past their return date. Most are unopened.

The items range in price from $20 to $700, including many electronics and computer parts. The whole lot is worth probably $10,000. There are a few heavy items like computer cases. There are also various used electronics which are probably worth another $6,000.

Since almost all of this stuff has a matching Amazon listing, it seems like the logical choice to resell it on there. And, the fees are so much less than selling it on eBay.

Ideally, I’d like to get all of it into Amazon’s FBA warehouse in one batch, as handling the sales and shipping of all of this would practically be a full time job.

So, what I’m wondering: – Are there any services which can take a large amount of assorted Amazon items, and handle the process of getting them sent in to FBA? – Are there any services which would just buy it all, at a discount from what the items retail for? – Are there any general recommendations for how I could DIY the process of getting all of this assorted stuff sent in to FBA myself?*

(*I’ve looked around a fair amount, and most of the advice only covers the case of people who are trying to start a business, or sell large numbers of identical items.)

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
