There have been years previous where it was a much closer threshold to win the buy box with FBM. People are undercutting by 20% and still not winning. Difficult place for FBM sellers. Maybe I'm missing something.. To add to this mess amazon has started removing buy box for lots of legos which had buy box consistently till 2 weeks ago. Was selling with buy box at 229. Out of the blue discounted $13 by amazon for 2 days. Now no buy box even at 199. Looks like a repeat of last year about to happen, where their AI would tag everything as high price and force to list as collectible-like new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on another channel, I have 100+ of a Christmas set that Amazon has put in "reserved" for about a week now. Really made a point this year of getting all Christmas stuff in early to avoid this and just wow . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm wrong but my conspiracy is they are quietly shifting "excess" inventory to AWD and charging standard storage fee's for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm missing something.. Unless your revend that is. Have some significant counterexamples for that outfit. Amazon researching missing inventory for 60 days while storage and even long term storage fees add up seems downright criminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
