Letter of Authorisation no longer accepted - need licensing agreement
Ive been trying to get an ASIN title changed as it contravenes Amazon Policy. Ive been unable to get any help from Support - but their last email was interesting as they now say a Letter of Authorisation from Brand owner is no longer accepted by Amazon as proof of being a genuine and authorised reseller. Instead you have to provide a copy of any licensing agreement
As all my branded goods are actually made under license by a third party (as most such goods are nowadays) this will cause no end of problems eventually as anyone selling branded goods will have to get a copy of licensing agreement from their supplier to send to Amazon (assuming supplier is even cooperative on this issue). One of my suppliers has actually gone into administration as well and I still have quite a lot of their stock to sell so it will now be impossible to get a copy of the licensing agreement. .
Then there is the issue that a licensing agreement will be in the name of some other company anyway. How this will work when that company is just a manufacturer who licenses a brand to create goods and then sells to others who actually list on Amazon I have no idea.
I will keep the listings active until either I sell out or Amazon pull the listing and then I'm afraid I will close Amazon as a marketplace as its getting too complicated and restrictive

This just seems like the nail in the coffin , when it comes to listing branded products , very soon it will be almost impossible to list branded products . i need to start planning my exit strategy

Just when you think a bad policy couldn't get any worse, Amazon put their galaxy brains to it and somehow always manage to make it so. I'm actually quite impressed. They seem to find ways of doing business in the most disgusting manner that would sink any other business , and yet they keep growing. Defies all logic and explanation.

Could these be down to some scammy dishonest sellers faking the letters?

We are the same here, they take listings down for Potential Infringements, so they aren't even infringements.
Our manufacturer wants us to sell the items as we have Authorisation Letters from them, which they don't accept.
It's a never ending losing battle.

Amazon do not seem to understand how licensing works. We frequently get asked to provide LOA's from actual brands. Like most retailers have an actual direct relationship with Disney, Liverpool FC and Warner Bros. Some of our suppliers have given up on Amazon and are pushing us to sell on other channels.
We get incorrect violations repeatedly on Amazon, 57 contacts with seller support later we just give up, remove products and sell elsewhere.
We cannot even list new branded products now without reapplying to sell every single time, and providing photos of items unpackaged, hanging at a 37 degree angle in the moonlight, with sepia filter and Jeff Bezos' authorised signature directly in the garment label....utterly ridiculous. Stick to the cheap Chinese imports if you want to succeed.
Amazon support is truly atrocious as well.
