I just got an update that they accepted my request to move me into the keyword type requested.
Now that they’ve done it, how can I see on the page that I’m in the correct browse node id? Is there any way to tell or any variable in the source code?

Check this out. Look at sales after I fixed the product being in the wrong Item Type Keyword (remember, they moved us out without telling us and it took us forever to discover)
Can you tell when I might have appealed to get it fixed?
My SAS said for some reason this ASIN also is getting penalized for not having a “Leaf Node”, so now I have to create a task to get that fixed. Hoping I can get back to my old level of sales since this whole fiasco started.

What the snot? And why is there no communication about something like that, without SAS?

No idea. I was like what is a “leaf node”, and they are it’s the tippety point of the Browser Node.
And I was like, “but you guys fixed the browser node”, and they said they clearly didn’t, and it was hurting my listing algo.
Same, not sure, so submitted SAS request to have a look.

I suspect it’s because Amazon deprecated ASIN Merge/Change Notifications* in Q3 of 2017 (1Nov17), as our well-missed (albeit somewhat irascible) friend Schady was among the first to point out in his now-deprecated 24Nov17 (Jive-era) OSFE Thread “Amazon Secretly Ends ASIN Change Notifications Emails”
I will leave it to the gentle reader to discern the most-likely impetus behind WHY TPTB took that course, and why the posts to that thread by our equally-well-missed friends TFC_Josh & BusyGirl probably led to the thread being wiped…

If anyone has access to archived emails from Amazon of that time, I would think that you can probably find such Notifications by searching for the Subject Line “Amazon.com ASIN Merge Notification”
I have several of these issues as well.
Feel like I am hitting my head against a brick wall. My requests were denied byvthe computer.
Haven’t had time to see how many of my attempts to fix my listings actually stuck.
I sell doilies…and table runners. Some have landed in Candles because I said there’s a candle embroidered on the doily. SMH
I must have some that are still in the wrong category – because I got this email just now.
I don’t SELL in FABRIC, CANDLES, OR WALLPAPER.

Yeah, they weren’t going to let me change my listing category back on my own. I had to request they do it through SAS.
But I think Brand Registry support is used to this support of request also.

I received the same email only my “existing listing” was for a BASKET. I don’t sell baskets.
My email notice was for Radios. I sell books.
Well, I just went through my latest catalog listing report and found 66 what I call “mis-matches”. The product feed ID type is wrong.
OR the Item Type Keyword is wrong.
I thought I got them all basically fixed in July…yea right.
I have an aquastat which was classified as an adult product this morning.
Once or twice a month I get an item removed for being a weapon or some kind of firearm part or accessory. These are usually rubber belts.
