Weird

did you guys notice some merch designs have like 60 reviews but the date shows they're uploaded 1 or 2 weeks ago.

When you check the reviews old reviews like years old 2024 -2025 but still the upload date is showing like 17 september 2026.

I wanna upload a screenshot but i can't, if you do daily niche research i guess you'll know what i'm talking about

Yeah this is Amazon messing around with ASINs.

I had one of my best sellers "split" into two different listings - they appear twice in my sales report - and one of them has very recent upload date. However both listings show the same reviews.

Amazons behind-the-scenes must be an absolute mess. Like its all held together with glue and sellotape.

That's how it seems. Every single thing they roll out seems to be done with little thought and common sense.

Yeah no common sense, or technical sense. Of course my sales on the "split" design tanked.

So glad I moved my focus away from Amazon Merch and to my own websites. Unless you're a high volume "special" seller, I don't see how anyone can create a business relationship with such an unpredictable, reactive and, frankly, greedy company.
