Am I Crazy orDoes Amazon Not want 3rd Party Sellers Anymore??
I'm so confused. In the years and years we've been here, just seems that by all the horrible changes and terrible treatment, and suffocation through algorythm changes, price hikes,............death by slow cuts.......that the answer is a loud and resounding NO. Am I crazy?

Nope. Now that the name brand companies are getting involved directly with the platform to sell their goods it absolutely looks like amazon is pushing out any small sellers.

Maybe it's anecdotal, but I do see a pattern of reputable sellers being pushed out. We got suspended after 10 years of selling, with $6m/year, 500 orders/day volume.

Same. We're doing $14m/year and got deactivated.
Seller_RL2rWlAstdMNn
Nope its not about reputation as I see it. More about willingness to adapt to new circumstances. If youre not up for that... bye with no regrets, thats an afwul policy. Gonna become second ebay

what does it mean to go through arbitration through lawyers? will they help you reactiavate your account or will they just get your funds/inventory back?
Seller_5OoNWIikvQ4cB
We got our funds back after a successful video review where we proved we are legit. So, the effort is now to get our account back and arbitration seems to be the only avenue left.

ONE customer complained the product was counterfeit because it had English, French, and Spanish writing. Its a HUGE reputable brand we've been selling for 20+ years (even before amazon) and they've always done that with their product packaging.

How were you deactivated with one complaint? Was your account health already low? How many points did that deduct?

Holy crap sorry to hear this. We sell similar listings. Definitely remember your business. That is terrible. I do notice that a lot in our area where Amazon sells the item, but them flags us for selling it. Unreal. Again sorry to hear this.

The cruel reality is that Amazon often destroys and deceives small companies. What you're describing seems to align with a troubling pattern where even reputable sellers are being pushed out. We've seen firsthand how Amazon's actions can devastate businesses that have invested years of hard work and resources into building their presence on the platform. It's disheartening to think that even after achieving success and trust, like your $6 million a year and 500 orders a day, sellers can still face such harsh treatment.

Amazon is absolutely anti-gun nuts.
I had a couple innocent mistakes, and they did not end/ban my account.
One was an "AR Wrench" but somehow, I managed to talk my way out of it.
Love the ND Senator reply, when Obama expected her to end their political career for his policies.
"Guns are not a political issue here, they are a lifestyle".
Keep working it, they should not penalize you for something they are selling.

Amazon is completely hostile to small American businesses. This is intentional, this treatment. The idea is suck all the life from the small businesses that sell here. Metaphorically drain every drop of blood out of our bodies and then throw our corpses to the side once we drop dead.

They are a multi-billion dollar business built on the backs of small third-party sellers. Like most big corporations, they go where the profit is. Low volume third-party sellers are only a very tiny percentage of their sales and profits, which means they don't really need us. Not really a surprise, really. Big corporations have been cheating the "little guy" for decades. Amazon is just one more on the list. If you're not high-volume, or high profit, your days are probably numbered. I'm one of them, by the way.

What is going on with Amazon is truly mindboggling. I am not a big multi million dollar company but I was doing pretty good. In 2023 I paid $92,254.49 in selling fees. So far this year it is $7382.29.
It does not seem as though they are making wise choices pushing small business away. It seems they are not seeing the benefit we small business brought to the table. Now they are not even giving us crumbs or a chair to set at the table.
It makes me sad to see all the hard work I have put into Amazon fall away.
Seller_nBUcRErQhJ4JW
Amazon wants small sellers as long as the small sellers play by the rules and adapt, unless your from China and then its a different set of rules.
However if they can get the brands to come on directly, they want them too.
I said to someone in the jewelry business once, they ( Amazon people) arent at the trade shows looking for me, they are here looking for my suppliers.

We were high-volume and we still got the axe.
