Today I received the below message from Amazon
I have been selling on Amazon for a while but last couple of months I have just started to get relatively successful, and then I get this message!
The top 3 points they mention I not been involved in, although before TOS changed one of my products I launched with a review group. That was ages ago, but I did notice this product lost a couple of reviews yesterday (coincidentally?)
Another thing I did yesterday, I was on my Sellics account and noticed a feature for Super URLs so I tried this out. I did not make a purchase but just tested to see what happened when clicking the link. Again probably just coincidental?
I know Amazon is very vague with their responses and its up to you to work out whats wrong. I read up and went through my 2 listings to see what TOS I could violatioe. I found quite a lot of potential things
Product 1
Price - I have my product continually on offer, so the customer see's a discounted price
Title - I say "free Bonus"
Bullets - I say "free bonus" - repeated in Body
Bullets - I say "money back guarantee" - repeated in Body
Images - Not main image but I have comparison photos against other product that are not strictly product photos
Product 2
Price - I have my product continually on offer, so the customer see's a discounted price
Bullet - I mentioned about sale - repeated in Body
Bullet - Money back guarantee - repeated in Body
Main Body - I have genuine customer reviews
The only other thing I can think of is my Emails I sent out for reviews? I do ask for an honest review but I thought this was allowed?
I have addressed all the above. Does anyone have any recommendations, should I contact Amazon to try and find out something more specific? It makes me nervous just waiting and hoping they dont suspend my account.
