Best of luck to you. Maybe this will help you feel better. My mom had 50K items. It’s been a years long project of selling things at a loss (her stuff is in the $10-20 range) to have it cost less than the disposal fee, running promotions, taking advantage of the periodic disposal promos Amazon offers.
They haven’t made it completely unworkable for her yet, but it’s bad. Much of her line is unique, and we get these counterfeit cockroaches that sell on her listings (which is against this particular category’s guidelines) and ship some piece of crap and gets negative reviews attached to the listing. Every time she opens a case to deal with the counterfeiter or bad review, she has to walk it through various obstacles thrown out by the agent, like it’s day one on the job for each of them. It’s a total nightmare.
She is working to pivot to a different type of category and sell to brick and mortar department stores. The type of hell they offer is looking pretty good compared to Amazon these days.
