Why do Amazon treat us so badly??

[Etycoon]

Long Storey sort - my own branded items in the Toys category for over two years!! Ive sold throughout the Christmas period, everything!

So as you naturally do and restock items I done so. However this time round Amazon decided to randomly gate the category.

I call up and their representatives say they aren't accepting application this is funny because the Amazon website was still allowing to apply lool typical Amazon.

I provided all requested information and two months later and many open cases they finally replied and said Yes we have approved you so sell.

So as you do i try and list a product but guess what its still gated, so again i contact the representatives and they say I have to reapply ? despite I am giving them proof that I received an email stating that my application was approved.

Amzn is now just like a dick. They aren’t welcome any 3p seller anymore. They’re training buyers to be scammers to take down 3p sellers as many as they can.

They may be forced to split the Amazon marketplace soon (one for 3rd party and one for Amazon 1st party). If this really happens, I will be tripping on happiness forever.

Ages before any "action" like this is going to have an effect it seems

30% of Amazons revenue is made up form dropshippers alone. I highly doubt third party sellers are going anywhere

They make so much from FBA storage and fees.

FBA-fullfillment by AMZN,which means these third party sellers have their inventory at AMZN warehouse

exactly, no mattter if your doing FBA or FBM, they both account for as 3rd party sellers. FBA of course is not dropshipping, but im discussing how revenue is collect by Amazon from third party sellers.
