Amazon is out of order again? Some sellers' product rankings are missing

Amazon's systems appear to be malfunctioning once again, this time with regard to product sales rankings.

Recently, when browsing the official Amazon forum, I noticed that some sellers on the US site reported that the sales rankings and list categories on the product details page had disappeared. It seems that there is a bug in Amazon's algorithm system again .

The first person to notice this phenomenon was a seller named "ASV_Vites". On Friday night, "ASV_Vites" noticed that many listings lacked BSR and classification. The seller said that this failure excluded his products from the prompt search algorithm and affected his sales to a certain extent. Yesterday, the sales of the best-selling products in his store fell by more than 50%.

ASV_Vites is not the only seller who has encountered this situation. So far, sellers have posted on the official forum of Amazon.com that the sales ranking of their product details page has disappeared, which has reduced the exposure and sales of their products.

It is reported that this failure of Amazon occurred in some categories, and it is affecting most dietary supplements and OTC category products, including some of Amazon's own listings. "ASV_Vites " thinks this is all terrible, and he can't understand why such a large platform with sufficient funds would frequently have such system failures. "ASV_Vites " expressed the hope that Amazon can fix this failure as soon as possible.

Indeed, this is not the first time that such a problem has occurred on the Amazon platform. According to past experience, the most likely reason for the disappearance of Amazon product rankings, in addition to the decline in product sales, is the adjustment of Amazon's algorithm system or a bug in the algorithm system . In this case, all sellers can do is wait quietly for the algorithm system to return to normal.

It has to be said that the Amazon system Bugs are popping up one after another. I hope Amazon can put more effort into its own system. After all, once there is a problem with the system, the business activities and mentality of sellers will be greatly affected.
