The problem

Amazon flagged 2,477 listings of radio devices because the FCC ID was missing from their compliance details. Each one was at risk of removal by 4 September 2024.

What we did

We found the correct FCC ID for each product, added it to every listing in bulk and followed up with Amazon.

The result

At 12:33 on 4 September, two days after the first screenshot, the same filter showed 40. Those rows were dated 21 August and had already been removed before we started, a separate and earlier batch. 2,437 flags were gone.
