I’ve been getting ASIN Creation Violations. Also like you, mostly on items I’ve never sold, or haven’t sold in years. I delete the ASINs and move on, when they try to shut down an ASIN I care about, I’ll try to figure out what’s actually going on.
New weapon determination policy: hand it to the Terminator (policy bots!) or John Wick and see if it can be used to kill someone.
Yeah, I know it’s unreasonable. That said, there’s a reason I keep one of the old school 3xD-cell Maglites in my trunk, and it is NOT because Maglites are the gold standard of flashlights anymore.
I prefer the heft of my 4-cell models for that application; the tactical radius is not as large as may be had w/ my slip-stick, but the damage factor of impact tends to be greater.
I also prefer having such ‘insurance’ tools - like it, you don’t need it until you do - a bit closer at hand than the trunks of my vehicles.
The 3-cell model I have is inherited from mom from my childhood camping days. I think dad had the 4-cell. I swear I had a AA pocket model in my youth but haven’t seen it in forever (nor my childhood pocket knife, now that I think of it).
I’ve got other sharper tools in my car doors, closer to hand.
For @Thelunatick and @HobbesIsMyTiger , are these continuing? And could you let us know a general category that you are seeing be more affected, if there is one?
Anyone else seeing this same pattern of random violations on ASINs without a sale in a year or more?
I’m curious as to whether this is contained to one or a few specific categories, and whether it might be some Amazonian’s “clever” idea for refreshing offers/boosting sales within their sphere.
