So a quick question, I have some items that I list under a category “Night Lights” in lamps, but they could also classify as signage/display pieces. I have approval for them in this primary category no problems.

When I went in to edit a listing recently, the UI popped up that their AI has detected a better category “Decorative Signage”, under Home Decor, and won’t let me proceed with the edit unless I accept that change, or change wording to prevent the suggestion.

I’m actually okay with the category change, however if I accept it, I get unceremoniously told that I don’t have approval for that category, and it kicks me out. Doesn’t even save the changes as a draft.

So I tried to make a fresh listing to get the approval during the process, however it is just “Locked” with a padlock icon. Clicking this gives me the help document that tells me I can use the “Request Approval” button that should be there, but isn’t.

For now, I edited my wording to avoid this, but I’ll be quite happy to move to the suggested category and use the keywords, I just can’t seem to find out how.

Any ideas on how to proceed with a “locked” category with the padlock icon?

I am the only manufacturer of my product and only distributor on Amazon. All returns come back straight to me. I am seeing an individual selling my product on Ebay and seems to be shipping small volumes which can only be amazon returns. Amazon returns definitely come back to me and I have rechecked the settings, but is there something else I could be missing?

Does anyone have a good method for using promotions in a way that avoids lowering the reference price?
Amazon’s policy is fairly ambiguous in how it actually works. It mentions “limited time” discounts shouldn’t affect reference price but it doesn’t define “limited..”
We tried a couple of $1 coupons but some of them wouldn’t process because they had to be lower to meet the 5% minimum off limit for coupons. The $1 WAS 5% lower than the list price.
We manufacture the products and are the only seller.
We offer a ‘Buy $39 Get 15% Off’ promotion regularly and aren’t sure how this affects individual ASIN prices.

I’m reporting on my taxes rn and I could’ve sworn I was in the reports repository and there was an option that I’m not seeing anymore despite looking and looking. It was the “customize column settings” with all the checkmarks to uncheck if you didn’t want transaction details, shipping details, payout details, item details, or buyer details. I literally have a screenshot of it but now I cannot find where it is at for the life of me. Im losing my mind rn, could anyone help me locate this? Thanks in advance.

We have a product we’re about to launch on Amazon and are finalizing the listing. We were going to list with brand registry, but realized that our brand name is not listed anywhere on the product or packaging. We only have the product’s name printed on both the item and box. I read that you can’t use a sticker for the brand, so that option is out. Should we just run this first batch as a generic and when (hopefully) we order the next batch, we can print the brand on the box and item? Rookie move I realize, but we need to sell the 1,000 one way or another.
