Amazon Suppressed Listings Report

Amazon research shows an improved shopping experience when listings have complete product information, with images, category (item-type), titles (parent titles), and price per unit (PPU) along with less than 80 characters for apparel, shoes, and luggage categories and 130 characters for all other categories.

This makes it easier for customers to find, evaluate, and purchase products. As a result, we will hide (or suppress) from search and browse non-media listings that do not meet certain standards. This means that a customer will not be able to find a listing in search if that listing is suppressed.

Suppressed child listings

Amazon will also suppress the following incomplete listings, including:

  • Child listings in Shoes without:

These requirements also apply to listings with variations. For example, if a listing has different sizes, its parent SKU and child SKUs for each size must meet the requirements above.
