For 24’ maybe 70 sets total. 22’ to 23’ was closer to 400 each year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I feel for you guys. I lost access to listing Lego in December because my volume was low. No appeal has worked—there’s not even a way to reapply for the Brand even though I was ungated in 2021. I’d have to grind my way back selling other crap just to be where y’all are now. Can’t wait for prices to plunge even further on Bricklink and EBay. I’d list my remaining sets here to see if there was interest in buying them but I doubt that’s going to be a realistic pathway for any of us now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope. Still waiting on some removal orders to arrive, too. 75% are pancakes. Wonderful parting gift to have most of the stock I paid to send in get destroyed by them in the return process. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope. Can you copy the email for us to see?

Just update the app on your phone through the app store. It appears afterwards

Since the hard gate came down, only one of my pending orders has gone through. The rest have been canceled. We're talking about dozens of orders now.

I think something else may be going on here, or at the least contributing to things. Some folks on the FBA forums are noting an increase in pending orders piling up. I have 30+, some going back to early November. This doesn’t make any sense. It’s almost like something was retooled in FBA that stalled fulfillment.

But people are posting about Funko and Mattell, too. This makes me think its a generalized list of the top selling brands they threw a gate up. I don't even know if it is worth processing a removal order. It's not like they're going to prioritize it during the holiday season. They're just as likely to drop the gates after 1/15 or keep them up. So arbitrary. What sucks the most is the lack of warning. They used to give FBM folks months to get metrics up to sell during the holidays. I don't even think this message gave me 8 hours notice.

The logic escapes me here. If product is in the warehouse it should be easiest to sell via fulfillment, just like any other item. Removal at their cost has to be enormous, but I doubt it is anywhere near what we've had to pay for shipping and placement fees.

I'm all FBA with 100% positive feedback and zero returns. I'm small time, but I've had 45+ sales over the past 60 days all Lego and this hits me today. I have dozens of orders in pending status, two shipments in receiving. This is totally insane. I know they limited FBM by sales, but this is just batshit.

I haven’t sold anything since May, but kept account open. I went to NYC early this month and turned on vacation mode and forgot to turn it off. 10 days later and I had to reverify all my info. Still have Lego and other products approved. Oddly enough I also got some spam snail mail from someone claiming they were buying dormant FBA accounts for $1000-$3000.

Got a compliance notification for the watch sized battery in the Gingerbread house. Do I appeal this?

160 from SAH (40 CB from honey). Would have been nice to stack with more GWP, but the points make it attractive.

There’s always the chance, but best practice is to screen shot and follow up within 48 hrs if it doesn’t appear in pending. Mine appeared within 20 minutes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Assembly Square $60 promo + $40 Cash Back in Honey Gold + x3 $5 VIP codes at 75% off + x2 GWP. Not bad for a retiring modular personal build.

Up now. Lol, 7 access codes in my email . . . and no indication what code goes to which set!

People are paying for it, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing these prices. I'll wager this--whatever algorithm they're using to predict future buying/pricing trend is likely screwed up because interest rates haven't curbed spending like the Fed hoped.

We're writing to let you know that the strike you ordered is still on its way, but it is running late. The revised deadline is October, just when you start sending massive stock to FBA.

I love how Amazon glitching for a few hours turns us all into crazed beasts desperately trying to please a bot with “please turn back on the selling thingy, here’s stubs of paper from 8 years ago from a company that no longer exists.” [emoji24] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, it's fun but by no means ready for prime time. It will hallucinate facts and make up references because it operates as a next token continuation of a text gen string, it has no mechanism to explain how it arrived at an answer, or moral judgment about anything. ChatGPT's refusal to generate hateful or racist material is a thin layer of artifice built atop a language model trained on some of the most toxic crap scraped from the internet. You can still access most of the models on OpenAI's Playground and trust me the things one can get these tools to say are terrifying. You can get it to generate some interesting stuff though.

Great that Amazon found x4 Hidden Side Roller Coasters that they lost back in September. Really prime selling season for Halloween-themed sets. They also reversed the refund and I'm sure will charge me for storage for the past five months.
