Inauthentic Item Suspensions
Inauthentic is a term loosely defined by Amazon that often confuses sellers who receive this type of complaint. According to seller policies, inauthentic items aren’t quite “counterfeit” or “fake”, but are part of a gray market category that can get quite complicated. Regardless, when Amazon chooses to flag your item as potentially inauthentic, it means the product has allegedly been purchased from a source that is not authorized to sell it.
“Used Sold as New” Complaints
Even if you’re 100% certain the item you sold is new/unused, it may still show signs of damage/wear. Issues regarding item condition are the source of many “used sold as new” complaints filed against Amazon sellers. Most of the sellers who receive this form of buyer complaint find themselves bewildered upon receiving notice of the complaint. This type of complaint becomes a gray area for some Amazon sellers.
Intellectual Property Suspensions
“You currently may not sell on Amazon.com because of rights owner complaints about items that may infringe their intellectual property rights. Examples of these items are at the end of this email.” If you received this email, learn how to fight IP violations. Intellectual property can be broken down into 3 categories: Copyrights, Trademarks & Patents. While this does cost money, it’s certainly worth the investment in the long run to protect your business.
Buyer Complaints
Just 1 buyer complaint can get a reputable seller account suspended. As an Amazon Seller, your entire operation is in the hands of the rules and regulations specified by Amazon. The team at Amazon Sellers Lawyer harnesses the power of the law to effectively withdraw buyer complaints, pursue lost profits and prevent Amazon suspension. ASL can seek lost profits from a suspended account and/or listing through negotiations or lawsuit.
Trademark Infringement
When it comes to Amazon sellers, trademark infringement occurs when Amazon third party sellers use unauthorized and improper business names identical or similar to that used by another seller. If another seller uses your trademark or something similar to your trademark in a way that confuses the buyer, there may be trademark infringement. The test is known as a “likelihood of confusion.”
