Piggybacking on a discussion that was had last year - I’ve tried completely deleting SKUs with flat file uploads (selecting the ‘x’ option) a couple of times in the last few months, but they would still show on the Amazon-fulfilled Inventory report days later. Looks like the only thing that’s deleted is your contribution, but you can still get in trouble if you’ve ever listed that ASIN before, which is just stupid.

This would be the way I read the instructions, so it only ‘solves’ anything is if you created the original ASIN.
“but you can still get in trouble if you’ve ever listed that ASIN before”
Also true and, as far as I know has ALWAYS been true. Sellers have been suspended for things they did YEARS before.
“which is just stupid”
Not as far as the Amazon legal beagles are concerned. They are there to cover Amazon ASSets so it makes perfect sense from their point of view to go back and do archaeological digs into everything a seller in trouble has ever done.
I’m just hoping that I am actually really retired before they start digging into things too deeply. I’m sure I probably have some things from one of my suppliers that ‘might’ not have been fully authorized since they would sell me anything they had in the warehouse to build up their sales record with brands they carried but weren’t fully authorized wholesalers for.
Skeletons exist in closets that never need to be opened by Amazon (or my wife and kids).
