Listing Alerts

Listings don't only lose sales because a competitor outbids you. A hijacker can slip a lower price onto your buy box, a rogue contributor can edit your title or bullet points, or Amazon can suppress a listing outright over an attribute issue, and none of it shows up anywhere you'd normally look. Most sellers find out weeks later, when they notice sales quietly falling and have to reconstruct what happened from memory. Listing Alerts watches for both problems (suppression and silent content edits) and surfaces them the day they happen.

Before you start​

  • At least one Amazon account connected
  • An active Selling Account connection: suppression and content-change data come from Amazon's own listing notifications, which only flow to a connected Selling Account.

Open it from Optimize Listings > Listing Alerts in the left navigation.

How detection works​

SellerJar subscribes to Amazon's own listing notifications for your products, so a suppression or a content edit is recorded the moment Amazon reports it, not on some later scan. That real-time feed is backed up by a full listing resync every Sunday, plus a daily catch-up check Monday through Saturday, so a missed or delayed notification still gets caught within a day or two.

When a content-change notification arrives before the underlying values have synced, the affected cell shows Values arriving with next sync until the next resync fills in the before/after text. Changes detected from older, backfilled history may show only a timestamp with no captured before/after values.

Page layout​

The page has two tabs, plus a metric strip on top that summarizes whichever tab is active.

Suppressed Products (default tab)​

The metric strip shows:

  • Suppressed products: how many of your SKUs are currently suppressed
  • Affected units: total available inventory sitting behind those suppressions
  • Sales at risk (30d): the last 30 days of ordered product sales for every currently-suppressed ASIN, added up across ASINs (an ASIN suppressed on two SKUs is only counted once). This is what those suppressions have likely already cost you, not a forecast.
  • Oldest suppression: how many days your longest-running suppression has been active

The table lists one row per suppressed SKU: product, suppression type (Listing, Search, and/or Attribute), the date it was first suppressed, days suppressed, remaining available inventory, price, and how many open issues Amazon has logged against it. Click Fix on any row to open the same fix-issue flow used on the Account Health page.

Content Changes​

This tab is a matrix: one row per product, one column per content area Amazon can change without your involvement (Title, Images, Bullet Points, Description, Product Type). A colored cell means that area changed since your last review; a muted gray cell means it changed but you've already acknowledged it; a dash means no change was detected there.

The metric strip shows products with changes, how many are still unacknowledged, total changes logged, and how long ago the last change landed.

Use the toolbar to search by ASIN, SKU, or title, filter to a single attribute, or toggle Show acknowledged to bring already-reviewed changes back into view (they're hidden by default so the list only shows what still needs your attention).

Review and acknowledge a change​

Click any row, or the eye icon at the end of it, to open the detail panel for that product. It lists every changed attribute with the previous and current value side by side (or thumbnails, for image changes), each with how long ago it changed. Click Acknowledge in the panel footer to mark every change on that product as reviewed. Acknowledging doesn't undo anything on Amazon, it just tells SellerJar you've seen it, so the change drops out of your default (unacknowledged) view and stops inflating the "Unacknowledged" count.

Export to CSV​

The Export button on the Content Changes tab downloads a CSV of the rows currently on screen, one line per product with its ASIN, SKU, title, which buckets changed, and the last change timestamp. Filter and page to the set you want before exporting, since the export matches what's visible, not your whole account's history.
