Why is my Amazon FBA product listing suppressed in search?


Raised Flags

My company currently has just one product on Amazon. We use the Fulfilment By Amazon (FBA) method; and as it's a small gag gift with no variations, it's a pretty simple listing. During my routine check on this product's performance, I noticed that today I've had zero sales and even zero ad-generated clicks or impressions. This raised several flags since our product has been doing well lately, so I needed to investigate more. 

When I searched Amazon for the product, I couldn't find it in the usual ways. Even when I fully typed out "TRR Designs H2Zero dehydrated water prank packet gag gift" (which should be a bullseye search), nothing came up. All the competitor products are shown, but not mine. I also advertise on several competitor products; but my product isn't even shown in the usual "Products related to this item" or "Similar items that may ship from close to you" sections. 

It appears that Amazon has suppressed our product listing!
