Seeing Double? 👥 Let's Make it Single! 👤
by Seller_l7Jtck9jxnEA0

Hello Sellers!

With the holiday shopping season approaching (including Canadian Boxing Day), now is the perfect time to optimize your product catalogue by consolidating duplicate listings. Did you know that having multiple pages for the same product can actually hurt your sales on Amazon? Here's why merging duplicates matters and how to do it right.

Why Merge Duplicates? 💡

* Improves product discoverability in search results on Amazon.ca

* Consolidates product reviews in one place for Canadian shoppers

* Creates a better shopping experience for customers across all provinces and territories

* Combines sales history for better performance metrics

* Reduces catalogue management overhead, especially for bilingual listings

Before You Start: Quick Checklist ✅

* Verify the products are exactly identical

* Ensure you have active inventory for at least one ASIN on Amazon.ca

* Confirm neither ASIN is Brand Registered (unless you're the rights owner)

* Check that both products share the same brand

* Validate all product attributes match exactly, including bilingual content where applicable

Step-by-Step Merge Process 📝

1. Navigate to the Merge duplicate product help page tool in Seller Central

2. Enter your source and target ASINs

3. Provide proof that products are identical (including French language equivalency if applicable)

4. Submit your merge request

5. Allow up to 24 hours for processing

Pro Tips for Success 🌟

* Review product attributes thoroughly in both English and French before requesting a merge

* Keep documentation of why products are identical

* Plan merges during off-peak hours (consider both EST and PST time zones)

* Monitor your merged listings for 24-48 hours after completion

* Ensure compliance with Canadian product labelling requirements

What NOT to Merge ⚠️

* Parent ASINs

* Products from different brands

* Brand Registered ASINs (unless you're the rights owner)

* Removed or inactive ASINs

* Products with different specifications

* Products with different language variations that should remain separate

Hi,

I opened a claim (20427713161) because I found out that due to Amazon's arbitrary and wrongful category changes (without my approval or even notifying me) I was overcharged thousands of dollars in the last 2 years.

As response, someone named Ian Harold M. answered my case and asked me to generate and download the sales reports, which I did, and then uploaded them. The records include 17000 sales and dozens of ASINs.

Instead of doing their work, the support associate picked 1 single ASIN from 1 single sale and explained to me that the referral fee calculation was flawless. They didn't even tackle my claim that I have been charged 15% referral fees instead of 8% for most of my items because Amazon moved most of electronic and computer components into "Home improvement" - for unknown reason.

Which is even more insane is that the person blocked me from answering to my case. Neither email nor chat is available. My only option is to open a new case and ro refer to the old one.

I guess we all agree that when someone overcharges someone else by mistake, and the mistake came to light, the overcharge has to be refunded. No question asked. Amazon seems to have a different point of view.

I hope one of the support agents is reading this, and getting back to me with something useful.

Thank you.

ASIN B0GN8746TW

Hi Seller Support Team,

I am writing to respectfully request a manual review of my product listing that has recently been blocked and removed due to an NPN (Natural Product Number) requirement.

My product is a Roasted Corn Coffee, which is marketed and advertised strictly as a coffee substitute beverage/drink only. The product does not make any medical, therapeutic, health, or disease-related claims in any part of the listing.

To clarify:

The product is presented solely as a beverage and coffee alternative.

The product images do not contain any medical or therapeutic claims.

The title, bullet points, description, and backend keywords do not advertise health benefits or treatment claims.

The product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Because the listing is categorized and marketed purely as a food/beverage item, I respectfully believe that the current NPN requirement may have been applied in error.

I kindly request a manual review of the listing and supporting content so that the product may be reconsidered for reinstatement under the proper beverage category.

I fully respect Amazon’s policies and compliance requirements and am willing to make any necessary adjustments if additional clarification is needed.

Wrong classified as medical device
by Seller_keX6Km2ij6Snz
Amazon replied

As the title mentions, my listing has just recently been classified as a class II medical device (laser surgical device) and I have absolutely zero medical claims anywhere in my listing. This genuinely is genuinely wrong and I need help as soon as possible. This device is marketed as a beauty cosmetic device and nothing else. My title and bullet points and descriptions all reflect a beauty device not a medical device. Now the listing has been wrongfully deactivated. Someone please help asap. CASE ID: 19916483811

Vine Products
by Seller_opC3mc7rEdRXf

Hello, I recently donated an item to the Vine Program with the idea that I would be getting a review for it. I have not received one yet and I am wondering if it is too soon to be concerned. The item was shipped on April 15, 2026. Should I have had a review by now? Thank you for any advice and communication.

Hello,

We purchased the products directly from the brand, and all information on the submitted invoice fully matches our company information. However, despite applying approximately 10 times, we continue to receive the same response each time.

I kindly ask you to review the documents we uploaded once again in detail.

Example case ID:

20213036721

Our products are still being held on the brand side, and this situation has significantly slowed down our business operations. We believe all of our documents are valid, and we would greatly appreciate it if our brand application could finally be approved as soon as possible.

Thank you for your support and understanding.

Hello,

We would like to share an issue we have been experiencing, which has now affected multiple brands and is creating serious operational challenges for our business.

So far, this situation has occurred with:

* Larineco (5 ASINs restricted)

* BasedBodyWorks (2 ASINs restricted)

* Grande Johnson (1 ASIN affected)

In all cases:

* Products were sourced from Amazon.com, brand owners, or authorized distributors

* We had prior sales activity without any issues

* No customer complaints were received

However, the process we are facing is as follows:

1. Listings become restricted

2. We are asked to submit invoices via the “Request Approval” page

3. We upload invoices that match the stated requirements

4. Applications are rejected shortly after submission

5. Cases opened receive general responses without specific details

This has created some confusion on our side.

According to the approval page, invoices from Amazon.com (with sufficient quantity), manufacturers, or authorized distributors should be acceptable. However, in our experience, even when submitting such documents, approval is not granted.

As a result:

* Inventory remains stranded in FBA

* We are required to remove or dispose of products

* This leads to unexpected financial impact

We fully respect Amazon’s policies and understand that restrictions may apply. Our goal is simply to better understand the expectations so we can ensure full compliance moving forward.

Could an Amazon moderator please help clarify:

* Whether invoices from Amazon.com or brand-authorized sources are still considered valid

* If there are additional criteria that are not clearly stated on the approval page

* What specifically may be missing or insufficient in our submissions

We would greatly appreciate any guidance so we can align with the correct requirements and avoid similar situations in the future.

Has anyone else experienced Amazon Canada incorrectly forcing cosmetic skincare products into NHP classification and demanding an NPN/DIN that is not legally required under Canadian cosmetic regulations?

It feels like Amazon compliance bots are operating above actual Canadian regulations and small brands are being blocked while large established sellers continue selling similar products without issue.

What options exist outside Amazon to escalate this issue properly? Has anyone contacted Health Canada, Competition Bureau Canada, marketplace regulators, or legal channels regarding incorrect compliance enforcement by Amazon Canada?
