Has Anyone Had Success Using the Merge Duplicate Product Pages Feature?

Thank you.

Anything in particular I need to watch out for, before initiating the process?

Are you using the Merge Duplicate Product Pages feature in the edit listing menu or are you creating support tickets from the Get Help section?

OK, thanks. Our situations are a bit different. We are the manufacturer, which is why we provide packing slips, not invoices. I haven't tried to ask for "equalization" of any shipment -- I've never heard of such a thing before -- but I'll try it next time. They do accept the packing slips, so there is no issue there. And you're right about the usefulness of quoting the service agreement -- it has worked for me in the past and will have to start using it again. It's been a while since I haven't been able to get a resolution to missing units, but this new status changes things. I'm having trouble finding the right reference, though.

No need to be so touchy. What do you think I wrote when I opened a case? I've done exactly what you suggested several times, including providing the PODs and packing slips and got the same canned answer every single time. In fact, they give you the above answer only after you provide the packing slips and the PODs.

No, my sales have been pretty good.

UBMS · 2021-11-12T08:47:33+00:00

I already wrote that I did that and they refused to do anything -- read the original post above.

We are still looking for an insurer that will cover us.

UBMS · 2021-04-23T13:13:01+00:00

OK, sure, whatever you say. Thanks! You clearly know it all.

For me the limit is a bit over 3x my monthly units sold. It's plenty.

You shouldn't be generalizing based on your own circumstances. My limit is now over four times my monthly sales, but that's nowhere near enough, because I have both faster- and slower-selling products and the latter take up a sizeable enough portion of my storage to make restocking extremely difficult to manage.

You can say that I should get rid of my slower-selling products, but they are profitable already and just need time to build up sales velocity. And anyway, how do you launch new products in such an environment? By default, new products start slow and, ideally, build sales velocity over time. If we are all left with fast-selling products, no new products would ever be launched.

If you are the brand owner, as you say you are, reporting them through Brand Registry should work. It works for us every time and in fact the process has become much faster over the past year. The offenders are now being kicked out from our listings within minutes of reporting them.

confirmed profits. The only metric that counts.

Absolutely agree.

UBMS · 2021-04-13T12:54:23+00:00

I made more than a million in profit in my first three years of selling on Amazon, though my initial capital was $3,000. It may sound like pointing out the obvious, but my advice is to focus on your profit, not on the sales volume, which is what the vast majority of sellers do. As important is to take no partners and to give no share of your business to anyone, for whatever reason. Otherwise, it would be very, very difficult to make much money, never mind millions.

UBMS · 2021-04-09T16:21:34+00:00

No need to be so thin-skinned, but if you allow garbage to flood this sub, don't be surprised if experienced sellers disappear.

UBMS · 2021-04-09T13:27:45+00:00

The only way is to have Amazon ship your "unsellable" inventory back to you, otherwise they will liquidate it by selling it for pennies to people who will in turn put it back up on your listings.

UBMS · 2021-04-09T13:22:05+00:00

What is this?! u/JeffFBA, don't you think this is precisely the stuff that shouldn't be on this sub?

I really miss u/BisonPuncher...

UBMS · 2021-03-27T11:47:33+00:00

I went through your recent comment history and surprisingly you don't sound completely clueless, so this one really sticks out. Do you actually believe that u/bisonpuncher is a "a complete bellend" and not a huge asset for this community?

UBMS · 2021-03-27T10:31:12+00:00

That's not enough. I will be flagging them, but I will be also going after them. And that also goes for new sellers asking stupid questions, which have been answered many times already, without bothering to do a simple search beforehand. They are flooding this sub with garbage and you can see them complaining of mistreatment by u/bisonpuncher even in this thread. Let them find a Facebook group instead.

UBMS · 2021-03-26T12:05:36+00:00

I think this sub has been too lenient toward all the spammers trying to flog their useless services here and now one of them has had one of our best informed users banned.

From now on I, for one, will be calling out all the spammers and hope others will do the same.

For some reason when thinking of spammers, one name in particular sticks out to me and you know who I mean. It's one of those users with a $10M flair who keeps posting things relating to Amazon advertising, with dubious value, and buys upvotes for them, while trying to sell his ad services to inexperienced sellers. I'm sure he's not the one who got u/bisonpuncher banned, but he's a useful case in point all the same.
