That brand auto approved for me.  All of the toys on the top 100 page that i've tried have auto approved for me.  I'm not sure why some people are being restricted on stuff like the Harry Potter sets and some of us are still fine on them.

 

Thanks for the tip! I was able to get auto approved as well. I had picked up a few at my local B & N, but I had planned on the eBay route until now.

Not to throw shade at baby-formula-momma but I’ve never heard of a “proprietary” ban. Amazon may be ruthless but when it comes to metrics, they measure everything. I’m sure she knows what really tripped her ban.

 

But the article’s point is really really important here... apparently you can buy insurance for getting kicked off Amazon. :)

Same here. It’s like Santa telling you he’s really really watching you while you’re sitting on his lap asking for something. Creepy

Also rejected today, despite meeting all requirements and perfect metrics. Got Amazon help on phone and opened a case. Was told not to worry and all will be Ok... got a case number... but I know all that means nothing til the great computer switches you from a zero to a one.  I shipped plenty fba, but only a few items fbm. Anybody get rejected that DID fbm 25+ orders?

Of course I didn't get anything. Will have to open a case. *sigh*

Regarding open cases: my case to get 75153 reactivated in search is still open (opened one month ago). Keep getting messages that they are working it with the technical team. Can anyone here see the main 75153 listing via search (either searching for "LEGO 75153" or "LEGO AT-ST")? Has anyone sold any 75153 in the last 30 days?
Wondering if this is a localized issue or across platform....

Not through amazon,.   if you search via google you get to the listing.  Just make sure to tell all your customers to search amazon using google. :P 75149 also had this problem but was recently remedied.

Yes - only 1 and i'm competitive on price.  slow mover due to above problem.  no alt listing that comes up either so this set is hosed until the problem is resolved.

I have perfect metrics but fewer than 25 FBM orders (hundreds of FBA orders). Got a rejection notice today. Opened a case. I originally got a notification telling me I was fine, subsequently got one telling me that I was not so fine despite no change in metrics etc.

Amazon gonna Amazon.

Smaller products I assume. How about $120 MSRP LEGO or larger?

Also, do you assign which product is Prime or all your inventory becomes Prime once you sign up.

More importantly, do you get the same chance for BuyBox as others' FBA items ?

I use it for items with high margins to cover shipping costs  . 

You assign each item individually based on shipping template . You can limit the regions you ship to in order to minimize shipping cost but your exposure will be limited . 

yes

Anyone doing Seller Fulfilled Prime?  How is your experience?  

I love it for items that can go first class mail. Change cutoff time to 11am and you are good to go SFP wed-sat using first class mail. SFP is not coded as prime so repricers that are set to match fba won’t react to it. SFP is treated as prime to win the buy box tho so you can really dominate most sellers who just set their repricer and walk away. Be aware first class mail is changing to zone pricing next year so this strategy will not be quite as profitable then.
