Q: Why can't I create Brand Tailored Promotions?
A: You may lack the necessary user permissions. Ensure your account has the correct access levels granted by the primary account administrator.
Q: Should I implement all Growth Opportunity recommendations?
A: Not necessarily. Take automated recommendations with a grain of salt and ensure they align with your business strategy before applying them.
Q: Is the Voice of the Customer data always accurate?
A: Not always. While it provides valuable insights into potential listing issues, customers may sometimes inaccurately report return reasons, such as claiming an item was damaged to receive a free return.
Q: Can all products be enrolled in Remote Fulfillment with FBA?
A: No. Certain categories, such as weapons or restricted products, are generally ineligible for remote cross-border fulfillment.
