On December 18th, Chuhai.com reported that many Amazon sellers recently encountered a system error reporting "excess inventory." Hot-selling items were restricted from restocking when FBA inventory was nearing depletion, with the system displaying a message stating "maximum supply for 100 days" and refusing to create shipments. Sellers received only templated responses after multiple appeals, and customer service closed the case after suggesting using the AWD service. To alleviate the immediate crisis, some sellers tried lowering prices by 15%-20%, successfully unlocking restocking privileges after 36 hours. It is speculated that the system interpreted the price reduction as increased demand and corrected the misjudgment. This incident has prompted sellers to reassess the risks of relying on a single platform, and multi-platform operation is upgrading from an alternative to a core strategy. Industry insiders point out that in the context of normalized platform algorithm fluctuations and policy changes, diversifying operational risks has become an inevitable choice for mature sellers.
