This first wave is far from comprehensive. Ostensibly, any set listing not created by amazon should have been targeted. That includes every single GWP, exclusives, and secondary listings. That is far from the case. Most of these listing have not been impacted as of now. Hopefully, the bots are done for now. If every listing of the above is nerfed, it'll be really bad. Silver lining is they are allowing 30 days and not impacting account health despite the "violations" Walmart is about to become really busy...

If amazon selling goes away for legos or other collectibles it WILL crash the market. They have removed so many older toys over the last few years and those markets are dead or soft. Too many are on ebay and the volume isn't there. This trickles down to collectibles shows, shops, private and online sellers, etc. I have seen this take place first hand and can promise you it isn't good. All we can ever hope is that something else rises up one day with volume or ease similar to Amazon and without all the restrictions. Does it seem likely at this time? No, but you have to root for it.

I had almost 400 listings tagged last night out of 700 something. They are saying I have 30 days to sell off inventory. To me that's a pretty good sign that it's over. I'm definitely not buying any more stock and am not excited about trying to move to ebay. This has become more than half my income. Time to refind my hustle and come up with a plan B,C, and D-M. I'm not going to panic. People will still want retired legos. It just won't be as easy now. As much as amazon blows the platform is very easy to list and sell on.

I have been a seller of Legos on Amazon for years. I think there has been a drastic change in game play recently due to a few factors such as the "algo" amazon price bots. Along with that roi is getting lower and lower. Do we think selling vintage collectible legos on amazon is coming to an end?

Looks like most of the my affected listings are alternate listings and not main

Anyone want to hire a 45 year old ex stone mason that's been selling **** on the internet for the last 12 years? I'm gonna have to get inventive with the old resume.

My email box is flooded and they just keep popping in for listings they removed my ability to sell in December. Figured I'd stop in to see if it was just because my account was b0rked. Looks like everyone is getting burned now unfortunately. I imagine it will be a good time for buyers over the next month as sellers crash the market to unload what they have in warehouses versus having it all returned.

Well, guess we've all said it a million times, but the writing is only getting bolder on the wall. I've unloaded most of everything deactivated so far so I'm not too hurt "right now". Anyone want to buy some Chinese Panda's? Actually, they are only sending us notices for products we "have listed" so far. So I have no idea what I'm being stuck with but I guess it's all my GWP's. ouch!

On AZ seller forum they did this to sony legacy products also today. I think Amazon does not want to look like ebay, I always worry with that, They might just take away your lego approval.

Is it worth appealing? Should invoices help out

I was surprised to see them pull euro listings

Holy crap!! I only had about 5% of my active listings affected.

368 listings for me. I'm boned. Amazon is the worst.

Not 100% on these, but they’ve been out there a long time. B07BLGFT65 B00BGYOVU4 B08DP7DLZ1

They already sent me a DM, I want to give them asin's I know AZ made I have this one pulled that is a euro version, I wonder if they nuke all euro listings that get copied over with Amazon's copy tool LOL. https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Speed-Champions-76911-Martin/dp/B0B8NTTNC2

They generally will reply with a better answer then what you get through bots on seller central

Yea WTF, I almost think it's lego now, Not random amazon issues I have Bionicle's that are 15 years old that where for sure sold in stores and not GDP etc they even removed xmas ornaments Time to hit them up on Twitter

Dog pages all over. at about 109 as of now for me.

I've had 83 deactivated so far and the emails continue flowing in. The bots are out of control 😡

Yep, just got an account full of that crap.

Yeah, they already deactivated a bunch of ASINs. Looks like the end is near for selling on Amazon
