FBA inventory limits

[Phd]

More of a rant here. Canada FBA has been limited to under 1000 items because of Covid. AZ says they are doing out of safety. Of course, I doubt they are restricting their own inventory supply.

Now with the inventory index BS, the US is restricting. I know the index lower limit was reduced to 450. 1 account is at 446. Just hit my regular size limit of 4500 items. It sucks. Being from Canada and exporting our own items to the US, I normally run a 2-3 month supply at a time.
The summer is where we turn up our research and try new items to get ready for Q4.
So much for the AZ advertising on TV that they are spending 100's of millions to support the third party sellers.

Anybody else hitting the brick walls? It seems AZ has really turned the screws in 2021. More paperwork to submit. Less inventory to send in. Way to help us build again this year, A-holes!

Sorry, just pissed off tonight.

You're lucky if this is the only problem you get on amazon frankly.

1000 items? It was 200 not too long ago

They are sure making it rough. Usually we have around 200 listings, some being added and some removed, but usually 200 listings is our average. That gives us a quantity of 23 per each listing. Sometimes you can sell that many in a week.

they've always been tougher and EVERYTHING is tougher every year.

Usually it's the bad apples that made it so. IE: scammers , government regulations, etc etc etc
