All of these sellers are selling psilocybe cubensis live liquid cultures.
I had my top selling products erroneously deactivated for supposedly being psilocybe spores. I lost 10's of thousands in sales, thousands in lawyer fees, ranking, and an Amazons Choice badge because of it.
Meanwhile these guys are selling living mushroom cultures openly, it's even in some of the freaking titles (great AI bots Amazon has!!!).
Amazon nearly put me out of business on false premises, but these guys rake $10k month openly selling a prohibited product.
Amazon is trash!!!

I should add, before the mods tell me, I already reported the listings on the PDP, reported them through the Report Abuse form, and communicated directly with an amazon customer service agent through chat.
Nothing has been done. So, I'm wondering how Amazon saw fit to deactivate my products, yet even after pursuing multiple reporting methods over the last month, people selling prohibited items with keywords in the listing and titles, get to continue to break the rules and probably law, but I had to fight tooth and nail to restore my products even though they had inventory in a warehouse that they could have just opened to see we don't sell those prohibited products.

glad to see something being done about actual crimes being committed on amazon.
maybe amazon is okay facilitating illegal activity. maybe a state AG would like to be made aware of the crime that amazon is facilitating and by ignoring all warnings, endorsing.

Are shroom spores prohibited by Amazon? Because I'm pretty sure they're not illegal or prohibited by the feds.

Your post is confusing. Are you saying that selling these ANYWHERE is illegal, or that Amazon prohibits selling these? Quickly looking into it, it doesn't appear that selling these is illegal in the capacity they are doing it. And if you are saying Amazon prohibits selling these items, it would help to point out the Amazon page where this policy is listed.

Spores are legal. Spores do not contain banned substances.

These are not illegal. Go update yourself on laws before coming to the forums to tag everyone and be a karen

"I'm not one to tattle....." Proceeds to attempt to tattle.
If your business got shutdown I feel for you, but trying to take others down with you isn't cool.

FYI, all those items you posted are search suppressed. None of them seem to show up even when I search the titles word for word.

Holy S* did you seriously think it was a good idea to use the words "Magic" and "Mushroom" in the title of your product name? No wonder all of that happened to you. It's literally still in the url to your item, despite you having changed the title since then.

That is so unbelievably weak my guy.
Edit: None of those 4 ASINs you posted are trying to catch hits on "bag of magic mushroom" searches. 3 don't have the word magic at all, and one uses it once in a bullet point. You had it in the title of your item, the bullet points & description and you were selling a grow bag. That's why this happened to you.

I've looked into the alleged seller's profile. I would strongly recommend making a report to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations. Additionally, since this seller is involved in interstate commerce, I would recommend making a report to the United States Postal Inspection Service (USPIS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).
I would do this myself, however, I do not have expertise/depth of knowledge in psilocybin mushroom cultivation. You do.

Hey there @Seller_1T2lQGbwtB8x9- I appreciate you ensuring this being surfaced here on the forums for awareness from the community. I am also glad to see you have already reported this issue through the designated pathways and are already connected with @Stevie_Amazonthrough this prior thread on the topic.
I apologize for any frustration, though as our Community Guidelines do look to prohibit the creation of multiple threads around the same issue, I will have to close this thread. Please do continue the conversation on the prior thread as needed.
I appreciate your understanding and commitment to adhering to policy though!
Best,
Danny
