Amazon has been experiencing a lot of ups and downs recently! Accidental killings! Links gone haywire? Sellers are suffering...

Recently, the editor encountered a seller who revealed that several of his products, including some that were still being sold online and some that were out of stock, were online, but the front desk was inexplicably down, and there was no email notification !

According to feedback from the seller group, many sellers have encountered the same problem in the past two days. Their listings have been restricted for unknown reasons. One seller’s 24 links were all turned into disabled links on the front page!

There are more than one seller who use words like 'email us' and 'contact us'. Seeing that many sellers have been scammed, many sellers are anxious like ants on a hot pot, fearing that they will be the next "assassination target".

The good news is that the sellers who have been affected followed the customer service's instructions, modified the links and used the template to refresh, and the problem was fixed on the same day. The seller also said: I encountered this situation ten days ago, and other links also had the word 'contact us', but Amazon only captured two, and the others were intact!

At present, it seems that Amazon’s rectification has not yet completely eliminated all the illegal activities. If the sellers are lucky enough not to be caught, they can still escape.

Amazon’s double peak season is approaching, and fellow sellers must hold on at this time and keep a close eye on their listings. Recently, many sellers on the US site have claimed that their products have been judged as drug-making supplies for no reason, and they have not received any performance notifications or emails . Amazon does not even provide an appeal button !

One seller reported that after seeking help from Amazon customer service, he learned that the title contained sensitive keywords and was a Canadian product. However, the seller clearly stated that it was not sold in Canada, making the matter even more confusing.

Coincidentally, another seller encountered the same situation! The seller said: "A link for a legitimate sale on the US site suddenly became a bot. Later I found out that my product was uploaded to Canada by someone else, and the title was changed to drug-sensitive words such as coca leaves, antiviral, and fungal, which led to restrictions on the Canadian listing and directly affected the US site."

In addition, many sellers have also reported that they have encountered the same problem. The products on the US site were inexplicably judged to contain drug-sensitive words. It turned out that the Canadian and Mexican sites, which they were not doing business on, were taken over by others, and the sellers filled in the illegal information , resulting in collective punishment!

Regarding this phenomenon of "cross-site joint punishment", some sellers speculated that it might be the work of competitors . He analyzed: "Competitors took advantage of loopholes and deleted innocent sellers' titles. They added some drug-sensitive words such as coca leaves and ear candles. These products were then identified by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Canadian Ministry of Health as having unreasonable risks of injury or disease, and were therefore banned from sale by Amazon."

2020 is destined to be an extraordinary year for Amazon sellers, with one wave of troubles after another!

The "pesticide" accidental killing incident has caused a stir again, and products of multiple categories have been misjudged. Some sellers reported that their products were selling well but were suddenly banned, and the front-end picture turned into a dog. I'm afraid they are really going to die this time.

It is understood that some sellers on the US and European sites have been misjudged as pesticides and other categories because their listings contain sensitive words, and multiple product links have been removed. What is the reason?

The main reason why the product is captured as insecticide or pesticide is that sensitive words related to insecticide appear in your product details page. Therefore, Amazon sellers should read the various rules for uploading products on Amazon before listing products to avoid making any illegal operations.

The following are the banned keywords for pesticides summarized from previous cases:

Here are some sensitive words that may be involved :

Since Amazon uses the system to determine whether your product is a pesticide, the probability of being mistakenly harmed is very high .

If it is indeed a case of mistaken killing , the problem can be solved in the following ways.

If the product itself is a pesticide product or a product related to pesticides , you must apply for it obediently.
