1/ Amazon just sent my Germany-only inventory on a month-long Europe tour for no reason.

No Pan-EU.
No EU-wide storage enabled.
Only selling on https://t.co/YT8IEA5YVh.

Yet my inventory was moved from Germany to France and Italy internally… and became unsellable in the process

[Mo Kuhail @kuhailmo]

5/ Now another rep says they may transfer the inventory BACK to Germany…

Without explaining:

why Germany-only inventory left Germany
why it sat in FR/IT for a month
why backend inventory statuses don’t match reality
why sellers are expected to absorb the damage

[Mo Kuhail @kuhailmo]

4/ May 29 comes.

Nothing changed.

Inventory still not sellable on https://t.co/YT8IEA5YVh.
Customers still can’t buy it.
Sales impacted.

But internally support keeps insisting the units are somehow “sellable.”

@MillPrue @amazon PD is the same too which sucks

@KrappJan @amznsellerhelp please help Jan. He is a legitimate seller who plays by the rules.

🚨 AMZ ACCOUNT AT RISK FOR FALSE COUNTERFEIT VIOLATIONS
Some marketing agency working for a competitor just hit me with 5 fake counterfeit violations on my original sticker books. My Account Health was always perfect at 1000. Today it dropped straight to 0 in one day. The account could get shut down any minute.

My legal counsel confirms this is a clear case and it’s just a dirty move by a competitor.

We submitted invoices, original design files and clear side by side proof showing the products are totally different (design created in house). Amazon rejected every appeal. Not even reading them. Account Health support is doing nothing.

@amznsellerhelp please escalate this false flag case ASAP.

@amazon, you are down third time this year and we are only 4 months into. Then you charge sellers PPC that customer can’t buy. And then charge long term storage fee because of your mistake. Get your shit together @AmitAgarwal @Sell_on_Amazon @amznsellerhelp @ajassy

@paulsaintecom @Aaron_Cordovez @AmazonHelp VAT address isn’t not matching with seller central?

[Mo Kuhail @kuhailmo]

@ShinghiD @CameronWalkerSZ Yeah, from what I see, pre-June 2016 accounts had zero reserves while newer ones didn’t.

So some had zero holds while others dealt with reserves for years. Amazon basically leveled the playing field.

More fair overall, but it does remove that early adopter advantage.

Here is the problem(s) with Amazon's new PPC no CC thing...First the fact they have not communicated it with sellers and that Amazon's own employees don't know what is happening...lol.
But this is a direct tax on sellers. A seller spending just 500K a year on Amazon PPC is...

I will be boycotting Amazon’s advertising next week to protest the company’s greed.

I hope you all can join me in doing so and post a screenshot proving so after you have.

Just received a ton of new followers because our Amazon policy fight, so here’s a quick intro.

I’m Eugene. I live in Miami.

I've had 1M+ unit purchase orders (the good days), I've lost millions opening gyms (the bad days), i am just a typical ecom guy.

I started in ecom in 2011 building my own brand. I spent years in the trenches of Amazon, trade shows, product launches, inventory stress, and all the stuff that comes with trying to build a real consumer business.

Some things worked.
Some things did not.
I’ve had wins, bad bets, great partnerships, painful lessons, and a lot of expensive education along the way.
In 2017, I joined MDS as a member.
That changed a lot for me.

I was young, had some success, but did not have many people around me who really understood what I was building. MDS became that room for me.

Over time, I got more involved, started helping shape experiences and events, and eventually became a co-owner.

Today MDS is a community of nearly 800 ecom founders, representing more than $15B in annual sales. We hosted 150 events last year and are building a member-led culture centered around trust, sharing, and real relationships.

What you’ll see from me here:

Sharp takes on Amazon, TikTok and the Ecom ecosystem

Event recaps and what you may have missed

Trends across consumer, retail, and ecom
Things founders are doing right
Things this industry gets completely wrong
I go to a lot of events, meet a lot of smart operators, and pay attention to where the market is going.

So if you care about Amazon, TikTok, DTC brands, founder communities, and where ecom is headed, follow along.

I polled 100+ founders doing $1M+ a year out of our group of 800.

Amazon’s latest seller changes are not just “annoying.”

They are draining growth capital.

52% said the cash flow hit from Amazon’s ad spend + DD+7 changes will be over $100k.

28% said over $250k.

79% said the recent policy changes impact more than 25% of their free cash.

This means less payroll, less innovation, more stock outs, less PPC, fewer launches, and more pressure.

These are average businesses already making single digit margins paying 70 cents of every dollar to Amazon.

Amazon says it supports small business.

These numbers say otherwise.

@amznsellerhelp @ShinghiD Is it for everyone or select accounts?

[Cameron @CameronWalkerSZ]

I would be game for a couple day PPC boycott. Sometimes the bully needs to get kicked in the teeth to realize he isn't invincible.
