Amazon listing SKUs on .mx, BIL is off.

My Build International Listings are deactivated, I triple checked. However, I have 4 items listed in .mx in the past 2 weeks, one each on different days.

I am reasonably certain that nobody at my company is doing this, as they are either smart enough to know not to or dumb enough to not know how.

Any ideas?

  5. Amazon being Amazon

So the .mx listings appear and then disappear?

No, there are just new .mx listings.

  1. Possible.
  2. Also possible, but less likely, since 2 of the items are out of stock, and none of these are good selling items for me. 1 of them has never sold.
  3. I don’t see how that would create a SKU in my account.
  4. Laugh till we cry.
  5. This is the same as 1 and 2.

Utilizing the BIL Tool isn’t the only way that this can happen; and as has recently been reported both in the SAS & the NSFE (among other places), there’s another round of Automatic Enrollment in Remote Fulfillment underway - see your 030425 reply to our friend @doilyboutique444’s heads-up here:

I think that I’d first check the Remote Fulfillment Dashboard @ https: //sellercentral.amazon.com/rafn/inventory/enrollment to ensure Amazon hasn’t done something behind your back.

My understanding is that remote fulfillment doesn’t actually create SKUs in the seller’s catalog. Additionally, none of these items are FBA. Additionally additionally, I only have Remote Fulfillment active for .ca, not .mx.

Are the corresponding .com listings also new? And if yes, did you add them manually or via feed?

They are not new. They were all listed before 2019.

I’m trying to figure out if there’s something about these 4 specifically that somehow instigated an automated Amazon process.

Listing them in 2019 is good info, thank you.

Since these are FBM, have you recently changed their shipping template?

Before 2019. 3 of them were in 2017.

No information has been changed on these SKUs since the great Coworker debacle of 2020 with the exception of inventory updates, and none of those were recent (2+ years minimum) either.

They are all on my ā€œdefaultā€ shipping template, not any of my special use templates.

None of the items have FBA SKUs nor were they ever SFP eligible. They are not oversized, Small and Light, or particularly shiny.

It’s become a daily crusade for me to delete inactive .mx listings because they like to flag the most innocuous toys as restricted over there. What I’ve learned through this stupid battle is if I change a price or sell through the stock of something on .com, the listing gets magically created on the .mx side. Granted, this is all FBA and I do have .mx remote fulfillment enabled, but these nonsense reasons might paralell yours.

Is this due to your BIL settings?

I do have BIL enabled, but these particular listings I’m mindful of switching manage .mx off at listing creation.
