Hello,
I have a quick question regarding selling items as 'New' when purchased from a wholesaler or even a local retailer. I see many people doing retail and online arbitrage but have never done it myself and don't want to take any risks here.
If the product is purchased from a reputable shop (say Tesco for example) and sealed in perfect condition with no defects, and you're ungated (or don't require approval), can it be listed as 'New'?
Amazon policy states:
'In order for your inventory to be sold as New on Amazon, it must arrive at the fulfilment centre in a good condition and without defects.
Products listed as "New"
Items sold as "New" need to be in brand new, unused condition.'
However, I have heard of Amazon suspending accounts over authenticity claims where the seller can't provide an official letter from the brand or licensed distributor that they are allowed to sell the product or guarantee its authenticity, despite it clearly being a genuine product.
Can someone please clarify Amazon's position when listing items as 'New'?
Thanks
