Accused of selling pesticides
What is it with Amazon stating after careful review? I do not see a careful review when we are falsely accused of selling pesticides and then will not listen. We sell a natural product for wool carpeting that that has turned brown under certain conditions. Wool can not become over wet and so we apply a 5% solution of white vinegar and 95% distilled water using a roller ball applicator. This corrects the browning effect with out over wetting the carpet. It is abundantly clear that a live person does not read our product details.

I am consistent. 5% acetic acid as found in vinegar is considered a very weak pesticide if even considered one. 1% is not even remotely considered a pesticide. I was not flagged for using 1% acetic acid. I was flagged for using our Brand Name. That was a name of a weed killer ten years ago.I would think as a seller yourself, that you would stick up for other sellers when it is abundantly clear that Amazon made a decision in error. I find that you are trying to find fault instead of helping. I want Amazon to stop with the “after careful review “ bit. They need to address why we we were flagged.

There are a lot of claims that can cause problems; for example, do you point out that because it doesn't get too wet, that mold is not a problem? That would trigger it.
If you are in the US, take the pesticide course; then you can mark your item as 'Not a pesticide".

I need to explain this better. Apples will brown when cut into slices. Lemon juice will prevent this. An off-white wool carpeting can have brown areas caused by the carpet getting wet. We reverse the cause of browning by applying a weak acid in a controlled manner. Nothing whatsoever related to a pesticide

Whatever makes financial sense for you.
Never gonna happen.

Careful review mean careful review. This was not reviewed carefully. When the PH of a wool carpet becomes slightly alkaline, browning will occur. Applying a weak acidic soulution such as vinegar will restore the PH and remove the browning. Vinegar is not a pesticide. Now my careful review tells me that Amazon is not worthy of selling my Products. This item and several other products have been removed by us. Please be honest and stop with the careful review remarks.

After clearly explaining that the PH of a wool carpet may become alkaline resulting in a browning effect. Restoring the correct PH is made by applying a weak acidic solution of vinegar.
Amazon’s response within 5 minutes was. We received your submission and after careful review we have determined that your ASINs do not meet the criteria for reinstatement.ASIN: B0852816HCT This product has been identified as an unregistered and/or misbranded pesticide product or device that is not compliant with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. My response, “ Any form of communication that deceives is clearly a lie. There was no careful review! Careful review mean careful review. This was not reviewed carefully. When the PH of a wool carpet becomes slightly alkaline, browning will occur. Applying a weak acidic soulution such as vinegar will restore the PH and remove the browning. Vinegar is not a pesticide. Now my careful review tells me that Amazon is not worthy of selling my Products. This item and several other products have been removed by us.

Sure. Sounds good.
It's only money. Amazon won't mind if you don't sell your product.
Of course, it seems to me that taking the course and telling Amazon "Not a pesticide" would take less work than you've already put into this thread, plus you'd get your product listed to sell.
But keep up the good fight! Just keep in mind that you won't be able to sell your product as long as you do.
Interesting; so you admit that vinegar is in fact considered a pesticide (albeit "minimum risk"), but don't want to go through the steps required to list on Amazon.
I wish I was so rich as to not care about running my business into the ground over the refusal to do something so simple. But I admire you for standing up for what you fee is "right".

Hey, great. Like I say, it's your fight; if you want to fight it, go for it.
Although I'll admit I wish you were consistent, and could decide between:
and:
since those statements contradict each other.
But no prob. Have fun tracking your lost sales while you wait for Amazon to see things your way instead of simply taking the test and getting it cleared up in 30 minutes.
Seller_nRFmxiQg4EGrw
Had you simply taken the test as I suggested, this would have been cleared up a week ago.
Not sure how much more "help" I can provide than telling you how to solve the situation. But obviously, you're more concerned with being "right" than with getting the issue resolved, so that's up to you.
Seller_nRFmxiQg4EGrw
Because Amazon will ALWAYS err on the side of caution. They don't want to run afoul of Federal Law just because someone who doesn't have training says "it's okay". Once you have the training (by completing the course), then they can take your statement as having some merit. But meanwhile, they will follow the laws.
You say that as if Amazon will care. Hint: they don't.
But do what you want. Just don't complain that the outcome is what you forced it to me.
