again: arbitrary category changes leading to overpaid referral fees
In the 9 years we are selling on Amazon, we corrected wrong categories or browse nodes about once a year using file upload.
It doesn't work anymore.
Many items are again pushed into wrong categories only for Amazon to cash higher referral fees. Electronic parts like internal computer components (8% fee) are now under "home improvement", a 15% category. Item type changes or category updated attempted by inventory file uploads do nothing.
When I contacted seller support, they ask me for ONE specific ASIN at the time, and which category I want to move it into. Then they open a ticket for their "internal team" and after a day or 2, I get either approval or a refection message.
But in the meantime, hundreds of our products are in wrong categories, and always (what a funny circumstance) in categories with higher referral fees.
Did someone figure out how to stop Amazon from doing this? And how to bulk-update categories for good?
