The catch

A flatline that looked quiet was actually a platform failure.

The agent did not start with a grand audit. It started with 2 zero-sales France SKUs that still had live ads, then asked whether the pattern existed anywhere else.

Signal quality

Zero sales plus available stock is the kind of mismatch a human review often misses after the listing is already optimized.

The built-in agent

Opus widened a small PPC question into a catalog check.

The PPC manager did not need a separate AI subscription. The built-in agent took the first suspicious rows and checked them against the wider marketplace and stock context.

01

2 France SKUs

Start with the two obvious rows

A PPC manager saw 2 zero-sales France SKUs that still had live ads.

02

all zero-sales SKUs

Expand the question

The built-in Opus agent widened the query to every zero-sales SKU instead of staying inside the ad view.

03

16 marketplaces

Cross-check the catalog

It checked the same pattern across 16 marketplaces and compared each result against stock.

04

FBA units available

Separate stock issues from platform failure

Two SKUs still had plenty of FBA units, so the problem was not inventory.

What it turned out to be

FBA had units. France could not buy them as New.

The agent found the contradiction: two SKUs had plenty of units sitting in FBA, but the France listing showed the New condition as unavailable. Amazon later confirmed a deeper platform bug.

Why it would have stayed buried

Nothing in the normal workflow made someone re-check a working listing.

The listing was already optimized

After launch and optimization, nobody had a reason to re-open the listing just to check that Amazon had not broken it.

Ads were still live

The ad signal made the SKUs look active, so the listing failure did not announce itself as an obvious setup problem.

Stock was not the obvious culprit

FBA still had units, so a normal inventory review would not have raised the same alarm.
