Competitor is somehow removing my seller-fulfilled stock??

[prowake]

Alright this is regarding this SAME seller who has been reporting me as inauthentic. He has finally stopped, only to start removing my stock with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ orders on my FBA stock.

How he is doing this at all hours is beyond me. I'm getting like a hundred orders a day, some stick for a couple days, some stick for only a few minutes.

I have since started a seller-fulfilled listing under the same ASIN and IDK how the hell he is doing it, but every 15 minutes my stock goes from 20/50/100/200 whatever, to ZERO! No pending orders for seller-fulfilled!

WTF! does this guy have someone on the inside?

Those are most likely Vendor accounts. They all have access pretty much to everyone's accounts and can do things like this.

I assume you already called amazon?

[prowake]

emailed, yes. They're not providing much help.

what the hell is a vendor account?

these items would NOT qualify for vendor status. They are super black market items

[SaiJin]

amazon never provides much help...

Black market? So they are illegal?

[prowake]

yes and no. its a unique product with unique circumstances. I have 30+ listings of other similar, but different items.

The two I have been battling, the guy is able to control my inventory. tried a seller-fulfilled listing on the other item he used to report me on and same thing. Inventory turns to 0 after a few minutes.

they are two different brands.

Adjust your settings to restrict the number any one buyer can purchase.

I have done this but the FBA stuff just gets tons of single orders.

there are NO orders for my seller-fulfilled items. somehow this seller has control of my stock and keeps putting it back to zero

AYYYY! didn't realize I hadn't done this on my FBM listing. It worked!

sucker is placing order after order. Takes him about two minutes for each one. By this pace he should be busy for 33 hours straight!

hahahahaha!

I have the buybox. Sent him a message to play fair and we can stop this bs but no response yet.

I completely forgot about this old trick...

I was thinking the worst since that was my recent endeavor with these type of people.

From what I have seen, even when they do, it takes them weeks or a few months to get something done.
