Amazon Health & Beauty Turns Ugly for Sellers

Amazon.com's Health & Beauty category has turned ugly for third-party sellers, and some say it's risky to sell in the category. In October, we wrote about the challenges sellers faced in selling cosmetics and certain beauty products, with Amazon banning sellers from listing many name brands. This month, some sellers say Amazon is again cracking down in Health & Beauty. In one discussion thread, a seller said Amazon had recently been removing many, many products in the health section for being "prescription," including Visine, Nyquil, Afrin, generic Benadryl and Gyne-Lotrimin.
