VERY GOOD POST!

I don't consider myself technology challenged in the least, but the process of adding products into Amazon truly makes me feel inept.

You are not alone, and more than likely, it is not you. It is just the number of Bots running the site now.

I have had one listing Removed with no explanation as to why and no way to remedy it, aside from re-adding the product which I assume would be removed as well.

This is how Amazon thinks. When you were in High School and turned in an assignment, the teacher would review the work, and return it saying, “X, Y, and Z are missing, go fix it, turn it in again, and it will be correct”.

Now when you are in college and turn in an assignment for review, the instructor returns it and says, “it is not right, do it over”.

Can you see the difference? In High School the student is told what to do. Basically, the student has to use no internal thought process. Now in college, the student is told nothing about how to correct the situation, what may be missing, or what should be omitted. A much high thought process is required to solve the problem. This method Forces deep self-introspection before a second submission is turned in.

I have had 2 listings set to Inactive due to a Potential high pricing error. To which I submitted a ticket for review, which did nothing.

We have found there is a way to Beat-the-Bot. It seems that the key word here is POTENTIAL Over the course of a day, we will change the price three times. The first two are rejected, but on the third time we place in the price we actually want. We found, it stays. Seems the Bot now knows that you did look into the situation and are satisfied with the pricing. Don't share this with anyone. When the Bot's programmer gets wind of it, the bot will make you change the price 10 times.

Now I am no more educated as to why these have happened than I was prior to triggering these penalties. I have researched this forum, Reddit r/FBA, etc. and am still none the wiser.

It is all bot controlled. And... The programmers don't get paid on how effective their Bot is, they just get paid to create the bot. Then Amazon makes the programmer redundant.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm willing to hire someone to function as personal Amazon tech support, guru, etc.

The problems and quirks aren't going away, and most likely will just get worse. Remember, Amazon is a for profit company, and makes their profit off of the 3rd party sellers. If you understand retail sales and how the Amazon site really operates in extracting a seller's profit, things can work out fine.
