Will Amazon downgrade me if I don’t sell for 90 days? Should I delete the discontinued listings?

Everyone knows Amazon. There are many merchants opening stores on Amazon. Amazon is also a long-established cross-border e-commerce platform, so its rules and regulations are very complete. So, will Amazon be downgraded if there is no sales for 90 days?

1. Will Amazon be downgraded if there is no sales for 90 days?

For seller accounts, if there are no orders within three months (90 days) after registration, the seller platform will automatically downgrade to an "individual" personal account.

2. Should the discontinued listings be deleted?

1. Whether a product that is no longer for sale is deleted or not will not have a big impact, but according to the principle of "letting go", if the inventory list in the store backend is too messy, it will affect your ability to more accurately grasp the product status and inventory status in the store, which is secondary.

2. More importantly, a product that is no longer sold due to infringement has zero inventory, but the listing still exists. This is a big problem.

3. Many sellers often think that they can just remove a listing after it infringes on their rights. However, they do not know that when a listing is removed from the shelves, it is just invisible on the front desk. In the database of the Amazon system, the information of this product still exists.

If it is a system screening, then this listing may trigger a second infringement.

4. I believe that sellers with a little operating experience know that under normal circumstances, if a store infringes three times within a certain period of time (about half a year), the account’s sales privileges will be removed when the third infringement occurs.

5. Therefore, we must immediately delete any listing that has been recognized, complained by the rights holder, or determined by the platform to be infringing.

6. According to what I have learned, if Amazon products are not sold for a long time, they will be removed by the system. As an Amazon merchant, it is best not to let this happen, because it will have a great impact on your store's reputation. It requires merchants to make a lot of efforts to save it.

If there is no sales on Amazon for 90 days, it will be downgraded. If the seller account you registered has no orders within 90 days, it will be automatically downgraded to a personal account. And if there is no sales for a long time, it will be removed by the system.
