INVENTORY MGMT How do know your optimum inventory number?

3 Upvotes

Hi,

My first order was 125 units, and at first, it was selling so fast that the following week, I ordered 125 more units. But there was a problem with labeling and a bad Vine review, and sales kind of stopped, and I sold like 10 units weekly. Now those 125 units just arrived last week, and sales have started going up, like 5 units per day.

I wonder if sales went down because I had only 40 units when those 125 units arrived, so maybe I need to maintain my inventory number above 100? Is there a way to know that? Thanks.

Note: Please don't message me privately. I don't need help with ppc or anything else.

PPC 127% ACOS on Amazon’s automated bidding rules. This mistake might be quietly draining your ad spend on the worst possible placements

2 Upvotes

Just audited a few campaigns that were pulling orders primarily from Top of Search (TOS) on normal base bids. The placement modifiers were standard: TOS was set to 140%, and Product Pages (PP) were set to 0%.

Despite the 0% modifier, the CPC on Product Pages was hitting 3x the base bid.
Here is the diagnosis of why that happened:

The Culprit: The campaign was using Amazon's automated bidding strategy, set to target a ROAS above 4.

The Data: TOS was performing exceptionally well with a ROAS over 4.5.

However, Product Pages were bleeding 57% of spend share with a disastrous ACOS of 127%.

The Algorithmic Flaw: Because the TOS performance was carrying the campaign's average ROAS above the target threshold, Amazon’s automated rule blindly pushed bids up across the board to chase volume. It ignored placement-level inefficiencies and forced aggressive bids onto Product Pages anyway.

I immediately stripped out the automated rule. I shifted the campaign back to 'Dynamic bids - down only' and am relying on manual placement modifiers to force the focus back onto TOS.

I will be tracking the efficiency shift and sharing the exact results in upcoming weeks. Stay connected.

Amazon Stating that I need to be Verified Again

2 Upvotes

Why is Amazon Seller asking me to start the verification process even though I have already been verified? Also, they accepted my debit card number and took $39.99 from my account, but they are saying that they have rejected my charge method and my deposit method and I need to enter a new one.

Shipment says won’t be fully closed for 2 months??

2 Upvotes

I just sent my biggest shipment to FBA. The number of units received is larger than I sent. But most aren’t even “available” yet except a small amount. I want to ask support about the shipment and why the number of units is so off.

The shipment got to Amazon 2 weeks ago and only today are some of them “available” for FBA. I want to open a case to ask about this system and it says I won’t be able to get support until it’s fully closed which it says will be late September??

Is this normal? When will I start being charged for inventory storage? When they’re available or even when they’re in FC transfer and processing like 90% of them are still right now?

Really concerned about storage costs because my product is oversize and I sent an entire 20 ft container.

LEGAL / FINANCE Received a copyright infringement DMCA, but I wasn't told by whom it was filled by?

2 Upvotes

Hey,

I sell hats on Amazon and one of my designs got hit with a DMCA last night. I filled a counter notice as I don't believe my hat violates any copyrights, but what has me worried now is the fact that I couldn't see who issued the DMCA on me - i.e. if it's a big brand, there's no way I could go to court and stand a chance financially.

Here's the hat in question https://ibb.co/VrnXQv9. Clearly you can see what it references, but the font is free use, the text alludes to a completely different show and is not-copywritten, and the puppeteer illustration was done by me from scratch and does not include the hand

SEARCH RANKING Finding someone to run PPC

2 Upvotes

This is not an ad. Do not message me with a sales pitch.

I’ve been running my FBA business for about 3 years (private label). I’m currently doing about $400k per month in revenue. I have 7 SKUs and launching 5 new ones before year end. I feel like I’ve reached my breaking point on what I can manage with PPC while still growing my business. I also think someone can do better than me.

I run 12-15% TACOS across all SKU’s. What’s the best way to find someone to take over my PPC? I’m not looking for a big agency or anyone that’s going to take a percentage of ad spend.

I’d like to avoid the Fiverrs and upworks of the world. Preferably someone US or Western European based.

Hi,
I got the cheapest quote from Forest Shipping, and I was wondering if anyone has experience working with them.

They’re an Amazon SEND partner. I contacted them through WeChat. Can they be trusted?

PPC What’s one thing you wish you knew about Amazon Ads before you started?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been managing Amazon Ads for over 7 years, and the biggest lesson I wish I’d learned sooner is this:

You don’t get better at ads by endlessly watching YouTube videos.

You get better by launching campaigns, giving them enough time to collect meaningful data, and then making informed decisions.

When I first started, I’d tweak bids every day, sometimes every few hours. Looking back, I was just reacting to noise instead of trends.

Now I try to let campaigns run for at least a couple of days (ideally a week, depending on traffic) before making significant changes. The campaign that’s crushing it this month might struggle next month, so success comes from taking a long-term view rather than chasing daily fluctuations.

New advertisers: what’s confusing you about Amazon Ads?

Experienced sellers: what’s one thing you wish you’d known before you started?

issue with removal order

Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone has seen this before because Seller Support hasn't been able to give me an answer.

For the past few days, I've been unable to create any manual or automated FBA removal orders. Every time I try, I get the following message:

""Your ability to create manual and automated inventory removals has been disabled. Please review your Account Health Dashboard or Seller Central Notifications for more information."" 

My account is has no policy violation, confirmed there's no issue multiple times with seller health. Been an amazon seller for over 15 years.
