2024-08-21 11:00
The video addresses the recent changes to the Amazon Seller Central "Manage Inventory" dashboard. Many sellers have expressed frustration with the new layout, particularly because some feel it has made the interface more cluttered and less intuitive. Key complaints include the removal of the ability to sort inventory by seller SKU, ASIN, and price, making it harder to access essential information. These concerns have sparked negative feedback on Amazon forums, where sellers express disappointment and confusion about navigating the updated platform.

Despite the initial frustration, the video takes a closer look at the new dashboard, comparing it side by side with the previous version. While some users find the changes frustrating, the video presenter explains that the new interface actually offers more sorting options than before, including the ability to sort by sales, units sold, SKU, status, and other factors. Although some design aspects have been altered, such as the relocation of buttons and the introduction of a "hamburger" menu for editing listings, the presenter argues that these changes are neutral or even beneficial for streamlining tasks.

Overall, the presenter prefers the new interface, citing its ability to display more data in one place, such as sales figures and inventory details, which helps sellers gain a clearer picture of their listings’ performance. Despite the mixed reactions, the video concludes that the update is ultimately a positive one for sellers who use these advanced features.
