Restock limit changes to prepare for the 2022 holiday season
As we prepare for the busy holiday season, we want to ensure that we can receive, store, and fulfill products in a timely manner for all sellers using FBA. Therefore, we’re updating restock limits for standard and apparel storage types to allow all sellers to have at least four months of inventory in FBA. The updated limit will currently restrict about 5% of sellers using FBA from being able to restock additional products due to their already having high levels of inventory. For more information on restock limits, go to Restock limits by storage type: Frequently asked questions.


00:00 Will Amazon restock limits hurt Q4 in 2022?
00:48 Steven’s speculation: Amazon is understaffed but many warehouses are not 
           full this year
00:57 Variety of reasons is due to economic reasons related and not supply chain problems
01:15 Consumer demand is down right now
01:40 There will be no harsh crackdown on restocking limits this Q4 of 2022
01:49 About 5% of the accounts are going to hit their cap this year
01:59 Amazon will allow  4 months of inventory above your current sales
03:00 Now is the time to make the shipment for Christmas sales
03:10 Help files for Restock Limits by Storage Type: FAQ
04:44 IPI score and Inventory Review
04:53 IPI works in 4 metrics but penalizes those with excess stocks at Amazon
05:39 Don’t launch a variation just launch a brand new product.
05:57 Inventory Performance
06:22 If you have a bad IPI, which is usually a result of excess inventory, just fix that
06:27 Get rid of the stock, lower the price and get the units out of the door
06:37 Check the Restock Inventory Page and review it every so often
07:02 Inbound Performance Summaries and Opportunities for the things you should do
07:12 How to reduce the excess inventory

12:00 Can't modify my US listing; My Australia SC is a "winning contributor"
13:10 Is the one-EU fulfillment thing (Pan EU Fulfillment) working for your clients
14:07 For international marketplaces, we already have the listings ported over, but how can we port over the stores
14:37 Are there any differences in creating variations for FBM products compared to FBA
15:29 We have a competitor that doesn't list where their product is made (China) on their PDP
16:40 What's the overall strategy to grow sales from 300 1st month to 1000 monthly
19:06 Lost BSR on all of my account back in 2020, still waiting for Amazon support to fix it
22:22 What are the consequences of category manipulation
24:49 When I first launched my product, the title character limit was 250, now its 200
25:59 Can you please breakdown further what search term data means when it says "7 day sales"
28:25 Competitor copying all my designs style and text
29:15 Client asked me to launch an herbal health supplement over at Amazon US
32:50 I'm buying legit GS1 UPC codes but continue to get messages from Amazon saying they are invalid
35:05 I was approached to start an Amazon account but the owner wants their identity to be completely hidden
36:31 Difference in search function between broad match modified and phrase match
38:51 If I run a broad match modified on the word "garlic press" would you put the same KW in a regular broad match as well
40:31 Amazon is offering to optimize my Ads for free
44:19 Where can I see if I'm running out of budget
47:45 Why is Amazon labeling this prime day as an early access prime day
49:45 I'm about to purchase a trademark, how long will it take for Amazon to recognize my brand
51:33 The brand I'm referring to is in home & kitchen and does over $15M annual worldwide
53:17 Do conversions from KW targeting positively impact ranking more than conversions on product targeting
55:18 I have increased my sale price from 19.99 to 24.99 then I have been slowly losing rank
1:00:03 Should I use one brand to sell multiple products in diff categories
1:01:09 I have a product in a subcategory of Grocery. Most of my competitors are in another sub-category of Grocery. Both are relevant, am I at a disadvantage, listing in a sub where most of my competitors are not
1:01:56 Can't enter more than 250 characters on search terms
1:03:43 I am selling on Amazon, should I extend to Shopify

00:00 Weekly PPC Q&A with Matthew Davis and Faith Denniston - 09.27.2022
10:37 Do you target the given KW in all match types, or just exact
13:48 Do you set the bids of extracted search terms to be whatever the CPC of the given term was from the search term report
16:32 Do you  make a concerted effort to ensure you are not targeting the same KW in other campaigns
19:43 Can you give a brief rundown of what Amazon DSP is
25:36 Can you explain page views vs sessions
27:39 How to change the manufacturer attribute on an ASIN
28:57 Can you verify that for every Ad sale you make, you make 3 organic sales thus improving TACOS
32:48 Just created a variation for a particular profession. 2 sell ok 3 do not. Currently have auto/broad/exact/ASIN campaigns for all many same KWs. Should I deactivate campaigns of the lowest sales, current ACOS is high
35:09 I have 1 listing w/ 1 sale, 0 reviews for over 80days active by now. Steven suggested I create a new listing but running into constant issues w/ AMZ for the new listing (rejected GTIN)
39:57 I asked Steven about the HOTD mug, and he said to do it. It's high-risk high reward play
43:23 Should I go for all exact KWs that have high relevancy/high SV or will I benefit more if I focus on 1 or 2 long tail KWs only
46:47 Should you evaluate TACOS per ASIN
48:32 If I have a new video I want to run as an add on the existing product should I run it targeting the same KW that I know I'm already highly converting for in other campaigns
49:46 Should I also separate my SBV and KWs the same way I do my SP Ads
50:59 Category changed, still works. BSR was 18,000, now plummeted to 210K. Category/product type still reads the same in the flat file, does it take time for BSR to update
52:00 I have sent in a 2nd FBA variation. 1st variation did not do well earlier, just 20 reviews not a good rating w/the existing FBA inventory. Should I relist the 1st variation and sell both anew
53:45 Does "sold by Amazon" under the add to cart button mean Amazon owns the brand
54:15 I have a main KW in an exact single KW campaign & its plural form in a campaign w/ 4 other KWs. The plural form is getting a lot of impressions and clicks and has used up nearly $30 and no sales. Main KW has SV of 150K and plural form has 2500
56:40 What PPC tactics would be used for an off-season product like inflatable pool floats
58:50 What is the implication of using ASINs in the backend instead of EANs for the product ID type
1:00:29 What would you do if you are a US brand w/a brand registry in the US only and selling in Europe only via authorized partners
1:02:03 I made separate campaigns for exact, phrase, and broad but none of these campaigns were getting impressions
1:05:02 What is good for PPDC first, auto or manual
1:07:22 If you add a new TM'd brand to your existing brand in BR, can you switch your existing ASINs to the new TM'd brand
1:07:54 How long does it take for Amazon to investigate missing units from closed shipments
1:09:17 I'm expecting PPC costs to be high going into Q4 for "gift" and "seasonal" KWs, how can we best manage this
1:12:30 Wanted to sell a product which is having asked for a Hazmat review. For the time being I think I will clear it, do you think this category can cause more problems in the future
1:14:24 How should a person motivate himself while waiting for the inventory to reach Amazon warehouse
1:17:42 How do I calculate TACOS
1:18:20 Listing displays earphones but our product is food. Unable to update the image. Amazon says there's another contributor
1:19:34 Do you recommend crying, screaming, or swearing at your computer to make yourself feel better after dealing w/ Amazon day-in & out
1:21:20 We can't access a listing in the backend because Amazon says we are not allowed to sell it
