Accounts Hacked / SAS Tanking? / Restricted Suspensions Somewhat Easing.

Hello All

1. There have been a few high-profile hacks for high-value amounts. It may be related to this new phishing email, which has tricked many sellers, so please be careful. One seller on Seller forums lost $1.1M; New Speakers and Sponsors March 20 for ASGTG25.

2. It should go without saying, but never submit any fake invoices for ungating or any reason, as sellers are still doing it and getting suspended.

4. Some but not all of the unfairly restricted product suspensions have gotten reinstated since last week. This one is still stuck.

5. Amazon is saying this, which is not true“..have arrived at our fulfillment center as an unexpected FNSKU when compared to your shipping plan. Unfortunately, we are unable to recover the physical inventory of the located item at this time, due to the error in shipment plan creation. We are unable to reimburse or reconcile the discrepancies you have asked to investigate for these items because of the error”

6. Some on X have suggested importing a lot now to stock up before any potential tariffs are applied since that is likely coming.

7. The approval rating for SAS amongst ASGTG sellers has gone down, with some saying the program is tanking.

8. Brand registry is making it harder for brands to file complaints and issue valid IP claims.

9. “This product has been identified as a drug or substance that the Drug Enforcement Administration has designated (DEA) as a Schedule 1 controlled substance. Amazon prohibits the listing or sale of Schedule 1 controlled substances.”

10. Getting it all 100% wrong. All of it.
