Brands Gated Or Glitch? / Old Compliance Checks On Safety Docs / Customs Warning

Hello All

1. A few larger sellers were gated out of 100s of asins with no message or notification. I am quite sure this is a glitch that can be cleared via a clear escalation; No progress on the outrageous unsuitable or reimbursements suspensions and suits seem to be digging in, including this one ; Great recap on each presentation by ASGTG Powered by AI here.

2. “Upon a deep investigation and working with the respective team they have advise that you should received a communication on XX indicating that you need to attend an in-person supply chain interview (IPSCI) to discuss the quarantined units. You have to sign-up for the IPSCI, as the product will remain quarantined until this interview is completed. Please *replay* to the email and assist to the in-person supply chain interview (IPSCI).”

4. A few sellers got interesting compliance document checks on very old submissions and were suspended over old doctored tests.

5. Armani may be gated in Oct, according to some emails; Some sellers are blocked from Sun Protection products even though many other sellers are listing those exact same products.

6. US Customs & Borders sent a warning to those sellers using a loophole sending in FBA duty-free.

7. This was going around last weekend without any ASINs listed so likely an error.

8. I spoke to Nathan Hirsh about the importance of good bookkeeping for an e-commerce company. Trial here.

9. When you schedule calls for the virtual video, it defaults to 1 am but there is an arrow to change the time, which may not be intuitive. If you want the earliest slot – it may be smart to take an odd time when less sellers are likely to choose.

10. “Please provide proof that you have never had a standalone account and that you believe this deactivation is a mistake by providing supporting documentation. This includes but is not limited to, any authorized or unauthorized relationship through a third-party company or evidence of account compromise.”
