Yes, almost every genuine seller—other than Amazon-linked insiders—is facing this issue.

📉 Sales are drying up while ad spends keep rising. Amazon recently increased CPC rates 4x, and despite paying for visibility, most sellers are seeing no conversions.

🚫 Returns aren't reaching us. Local ATS hubs are withholding returned items, and in many cases, manipulating system data to:

#Block proactive reimbursements

#Auto-reject SAFE-T claims

#Resell returned goods in the local market

🧾 Ref Case ID: 10988159542 — our official case with evidence proves how delayed actions and timeline manipulation by local teams push claims out of the SAFE-T window, purely to shield Amazon from financial liability.

🔴 Reality Check: Continuing to spend more on ads is only benefiting Amazon. Your customer data is being diverted toward internal brands or preferred sellers—that’s why your sales are collapsing despite ad pushes.

✅ What to do now?

# Pause or reduce all ad spends significantly

#Raise the issue in Seller Forums with case references- BUT don't expect any resolution-

# Demand reimbursement audit for manipulated returns- In reality wont get

# Keep records of item-level scans and timeline breaches- Only for your reference

# We sellers must act collectively- this isn't about optimization anymore, it's about survival in a biased system. They cant provide sales even after ads-let it be- Stop 90% of ads spends.
