My experience with IPVs and SIPVs is that listings have been unable to reinstate.
I stopped trying, and eventually decided Amazon was no longer interested in offering many of the items I wanted to sell.
I am currently selling on another site which is performing better for me than Amazon, requires less effort to make more money than Amazon, and has a higher sell through rate, and no price disadvantages.
If you are not already present on other marketplaces, you should be. If you are dependent solely on Amazon for sales of any item, you should not be.
Even if your catalog page is reinstated, it is likely that will not be permanent.
Has anyone done this & did it remove the violation?
Yes, and yes. It took a short time, like maybe an hour?
But the violation goes away and any points you lost go back to your Account Health.
I thought this was the silliest thing, actually. Because you can go around breaking all the rules you want, and your only punishment if you get caught is the effort it takes to check 6 little boxes. Not much of an incentive to get you to change your ways.
Intend to delete from inventory after I address this or should I do it first?
Do it first. Not sure it matters, but first would be the right choice just in case it does.
@Roxy Thank you so much for this info. Agree it’s way too easy for bad actors but for those who try their best but are not perfect I’m glad it’s an option.
