I’m getting a lot of suspected IP violations on my listings. All my listings are handmade by me and listed under my own brand. My brand name is not even trademarked…yet. But this is irrelevant anyway,…
Everyday there are new notifications flagging my listings as suspected intellectual property violations and giving me 3 days to edit the listing before it is permanently removed. Obviously I am NOT violating my own brand name, but according to Amazon I am infringing on my own brand name by using it in the title. I don’t even put my brand name in the title, Amazon do this automatically!
I try to edit listings but it either won’t let me or it is removed anyway regardless with no explanation what the actual problem is or precisely what it is they want me to change.
Seller support is predictably useless, I’m getting bot reply’s and going around in circles.
But here’s the weird thing…yesterday I noticed a pattern. The brand name on every single flagged listing has been changed to another brand [Moderator Edit: removed inappropriate commentary]. So I tried a different approach and requested the brand to be changed back to my original which only made things more complicated, to change my listing back to my original brand I need to send proof that I’m ok to sell MY BRAND (how?) as well as images of my product clearly displaying my brand name…I don’t put my brand name on my products because that would ruin them!
It’s reached a point now that I’m losing a few listing with each passing day and most of them are FBA so I’m building up some stranded inventory as well as losing a lot of sales. I don’t know what to do, it seems like I can’t do anything to resolve this.
Is there any way I can get an actual human to look into this? Is there any way I can get my removed listings back? And how the hell are my listings being rebranded ?
