Hi there! We have been selling since 2012 and we have not dealt with this issue before. We sell a similar product to another company but we sell on our own listings. However we have recieved a few mislabeled competitors stock from Amazon returns and had it listed properly on the competitors listing. Since we have been selling since 2012 the risk is not worth it for 4 units and a sales rank in the 6 digits. We have deleted the listings to show we have no further intent to sell. I am unsure why we are receiving this notice since we did not create the listing to put any copywritten information in it but thats besides the point. From reading on the forums it is better to say your sorry and delete the listings. However in the auto reply it states that deleting the ASIN doesn't remove the complaint? We since there are no invoices available, no retraction is available? I suppose I could take a photo of the competitors Amazon removed authentic stock with the Amazon removal stickers maybe they can look at the ARN number? An invoice should only be required if selling NEW stock. I know his and have it listed as used. Infringement type: Counterfeit
