Amazon stopping inv purges when you delete more than 20
 

Ive been receiving the messages below recently when I purge my inventory and delete more than 20%. Anyone have any insight around this and is this automatically flagging my account for review?

Hello from Amazon.com Seller Support.

Our feed processing system alarmed today informing us that a recent product purge and replace feed would delete more than 20% of your online inventory. We automatically place these feeds in a paused state until we receive confirmation from the Seller as to whether you would like to proceed or not.

At your earliest convenience, please let us know if you would like to proceed with this feed or abort it. Please be aware that if we don't receive confirmation from you within 18 hours, we will abort the feed automatically.

Thank you for selling with Amazon,

This is normal, they are protecting you incase you have made an error.

This just started last week for me. I like to push inventory at certain times and then remove them in case of a review.

Are there any other methods of removing inventory in bulk that doesn't get held up? Also, if you remove inventory from Amazon, can they still review it on their end afterwards?

If you mean, a customer bought something, complained it wasn't legit, and you thought that removing your inventory would protect you- the answer is no. But removing it is a good start.

I do believe though that removing yourself from listings is a good way to prevent yourself from getting blocked and warned if you suspect that is coming your way.

I do it for inventory purposes to bounce items between accounts without linking them.

This will link you, SKU removed from one account and then appears on another account. Are you SKU numbers also the same?

I have done this many times when an item gets blocked. I just request removal, put new stickers on it and send n on the new account. I always put a different amount, but I don't wait too long to ship to the new account. Been doing it for a good year now with no issues.

The OP I don't think is talking about FBA. I understand him saying he removes 20% of his catalogue from one account then uploads this on another account. If the SKU's quantities etc are the same he will get linked.
