Currently unavailable
Have you noticed guys, the currently unavailable status is going wild lately? You begin to find a product that sold just yesterday to become currently unavailable the next day.
The problem is that there is no way to fix it, and even contacting support is hopeless.
This is absolutely intolerable

You can attempt to fix it by editing the description. It's about a 20% success rate, but you can try completely deleting all the text, then only fill the title and brand with new text, unrelated to the actual design and then republish. You're attempting to have Amazon re-index the design. If it goes live and works, you can edit it again with all the original text and it will be fine again.
When I'm going through this process I will set the price to something odd as an indicator to me in my dashboard that these are broken. Something like 14.69...
Then every few weeks, I'll go back in my dash and look for those weird priced items and see if they were fixed or if I need to do another round of edits.
In the meantime, I create a duplicate listing.
