Amazon Confirms ASGTG Report On Lending / Rover Appeals / Bumble & Bumble

Hello All

1️⃣ Rover-Appeals email is a serious email focusing on fabricated invoices, bogus reimbursements on returns from FBA, and other such issues. As of this writing, their notifications generally do not show up on the AH dashboard, but they are to be taken very seriously. It is not uncommon for Amazon to take over a month to respond to the verdict of a virtual interview. The suits were in a great mood last Friday, reinstating many Asins.

2️⃣ An Amazon Spokesperson confirmed the ASGTG story regarding Amazon lending shutting down.

5️⃣ “We are writing to let you know that you have Fulfillment by Amazon inventory that is under review for authenticity. During this review, your listings may be deactivated and you will be unable to initiate a removal request for any impacted inventory. This review is separate from any action regarding the status of your account.

The Textile Product Identification Act requires proper display of fiber content for all bamboo textile products. Product must display: 1) Synthetic fiber names (e.g. rayon or viscose), 2) Percentages by weight of each fiber in descending order (e.g. 60% Rayon derived from Bamboo, 40% Cotton), and 3) Import designation (e.g. Made in the U.S.A, Imported or both) For more.”

7️⃣ A seller received a Bumble & Bumble gating email as more Estee Lauder brands seem to be in peril. There are unconfirmed rumors that this will continue.

8️⃣ The ridiculous fee increase petition is surging. Please sign and share if you have not.

9️⃣ July 31 is all confirmed for the AI-focused ASGTG event. Early Bird Pricing is available.

🔟 On Virtual Interviews, you can proactively offer to share your screen with the interviewer and show emails, bank statements, and wire records of transactions if it would be helpful.
