Amazon nerfed new FBA inbound shipments from sellers thru April 5. This new ~April 20th expected ship date is just about exactly the time it would take inbound shipments starting on April 5th, to distribute thru FCs and become active for sale.
Amazon is attempting to level the playing field for the sellers that got iced out during the inbound lockout.
- toasterlovin 7y agoMaybe. My partner and I (actually mostly my partner) did some more analysis. We scrape the search results of the keywords that matter to us 24x per day so we can keep track of how we're performing. Most of our products are in the top 5 for their primary keyword. What we've noticed in the last few days is that, when our products are shown, they are still top ranked, but our products are only being shown around 10% of the time (vs. basically 100% of the time normally). Upon digging in further, my partner realized that most of the product being shown for our keywords are A) not normally top ranked, and, B) all fulfilled by merchant (as opposed to fulfilled by Amazon). This would suggest that they really are capacity constrained and doing whatever they can to avoid shipping non-essentials. Also, good luck out there. Our sales have been devastated. Hope you're doing better than us.
