Brand authorization issue
by Seller_tEcAePiFeXj7d
Amazon replied

We created a product/ASIN 5 years ago in amazon.com. The product's brand name and manufacturer's name was our brand name BBB.

Then the product was copied to Amazon Germany 4 years ago by a malicious seller SHT and the malicious seller changed the brand name and manufacturer's name of product from our BBB to their brand name ZZZ.

Then we found out about 3 years ago, we have fully communicated with the seller support in Germany or US site, the brand seller support, but we still can't change the brand name and manufacturer name of product in Germany site.

2 years ago we found out that the brand name of product in Germany was changed back to our brand name BBB, but the manufacturer's name is still the brand name of the malicious seller ZZZ. we really don't know who did this, maybe the system did it.

Above, is the only thing we have to do with brand abuse on the German site.

We tried to authorize the brand BBB from our US seller account to our German seller account 2 years ago, and at that time we were already prompted that there was brand abuse on our German site account and that we could not authorize it. There was some seller support that insisted on telling us that it was caused by the fact that we didn't have an EU trademark.

So we waited until this year, when we applied for an EU trademark and successfully associated it to our brand BBB name in US seller central.

So we went to authorize BBB to our German seller account again, but it still prompted us that there was brand abuse on our German account.

After all we've done, we just don't understand why, even though we've registered our EU trademark, we still can't use the branding features of Amazon Seller Central.

Who exactly are these branding features for? Why is it so hard for a normal seller to get full access to the branding features of Amazon Seller Center?

Sometimes, we even feel that Amazon's system, the designers of Amazon's system, and Amazon's reviewers team don't care about ordinary sellers like us at all.

case 11153003412 / 11184215902, after all those communications, we already completely deleted the above product in German site. what should we do now? I was told by the brand seller support

Branding issues do not distinguish between country sites or malls, so it makes sense for me to inquire here.

If we keep appealing for that authorization, we will still get a deny decision. we don't know what should we do now.

Please help us if you can. Thanks.

Why is it that the payment method is still shown as invalid even though the fee has been deducted from the visa card, and your access is restricted? How can I withdraw the remaining money?

Hi everyone,

I'm facing ongoing issues with Seller Support and am hoping someone here can guide me on a reliable escalation path.

Over the past several weeks, I’ve opened multiple support cases regarding various issues, but the responses have been extremely unhelpful. Most replies seem to be copy-pasted templates that do not address the actual problem, and there’s little to no evidence that the issue is being properly reviewed or understood.

Despite following up with detailed explanations, I’m stuck in a loop of generic replies with no resolution.

I’m looking to escalate this to a higher-level team or supervisor who can actually investigate and resolve the issue. Can anyone suggest:

• A reliable way to escalate a case within Seller Central?

• Any tips on how to draft a case escalation request so that it gets real attention?

Any insight or experience you can share would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure many other sellers here are in the same boat.

WHY are hundreds of brands being gated?
by Seller_6fK2KJK28pv1W

Is anyone else seeing hundreds of brands being gated that they have sold for years? Multi-million dollar seller for 8 years and the past 8 months have been atrocious with Amazon gating brand after brand. I used to be able to sell every brand in a grocery store - vitamin/supplement, medicine, health and beauty, and diaper sections....They are now all gated with hundreds of units required now to get ungated. What in the world? WHY IS AMAZON DESTROYING THEIR SELLERS BY DOING THIS???

Need Help - Product and Food Safety Violations
by Seller_UZU6IZOj25UOg
Amazon replied

ASIN ending Z1DC and DBNF, both were removed by amazon and said that these asins violated product and food safety,

we provided documents and explaination via case ID 17791209581 and ID 17791081211 to appeal that it was mistake,

while amazon team always repeated the same reponse " This product causes a safety risk.

Therefore, it is prohibited from sale and listing on Amazon. At this time, we will not be reviewing any documents for this product."

We need amazon team to deal with the bug and reinstate the sale.

Issues with AWD Inbound: FC Received Unsent Item
by Seller_83fslqfcBt38x
Amazon replied

Hello fellow sellers,

I'm reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing major issues with Amazon Warehousing and Distribution (AWD).

Our AWD shipment from IUSJ to Fulfillment Center GYR3 shows a critical receiving error for our FNSKU ending TXLX with 48 units was logged as received, despite not being part of our original shipment. Conversely, the expected ASIN ending 162Z with 48 units is now missing from our inventory. We've initiated several Seller Support case 17340425341, 17340425341, 17386210511, 17785028681, 17824046531, and 17849940971.

Despite filing multiple detailed cases with Amazon Support, they remain unresolved and we've had no success in getting the problem fixed. We're trying to understand if this is a widespread issue and if anyone has found a successful way to resolve these types of AWD inventory errors with Amazon.

Any advice or shared experiences would be incredibly helpful.

Thank you!

Dear Amazon Seller Support, have a nice day.

Buyer order number and details, kindly refer to Case ID 17895745631.

Our store has suffered significant financial losses due to the systematic abuse of return policies by a single buyer. The pattern of behavior demonstrates intentional harm, and we request immediate intervention:

‌Evidence of Malicious Activity‌

‌November 4, 2024‌

Purchased high-value product(s), used them, ‌immediately initiated return‌ upon delivery.

Result: Items rendered unsellable, causing direct inventory loss

‌April 4, 2025‌

Repurchased identical high-value product.

Exploited the 30-day return window: ‌Returned on Day 30‌ after full usage

‌June 3, 2025‌

Purchased ‌two units‌ of our product.

Returned one unit ‌the same day of delivery‌, and the second within days – confirming premeditated abuse

‌Critical Impacts on Our Business‌

‌Financial Damage‌: High-value inventory repeatedly destroyed or devalued.

‌Operational Disruption‌: Fraudulent returns trigger Amazon’s performance penalties against legitimate sellers.5

‌Policy Exploitation‌: Buyer leverages Amazon’s buyer-centric systems to commit “return fraud,” violating Amazon’s Fair Treatment Policy.

‌Our Formal Requests‌

① ‌Permanently ban this buyer’s account‌ for violating Amazon’s Conditions of Use

② ‌Restrict this buyer from purchasing our products‌ via ASIN blocklist enforcement.

③ ‌Investigate historical transactions‌ linked to this account to validate systemic abuse.

Amazon’s recent policy updates explicitly target repeat return abusers, including account suspensions for users with ≥5-10 fraudulent returns/month.2 We urge you to enforce these protections.

We trust Amazon will uphold seller interests against bad-faith actors. Please contact us for further evidence.

Respectfully,

I'm hoping to get advice or insight into a persistent Featured Offer issue we've encountered that seems tied to Amazon referencing the wrong variant when evaluating pricing.

We have several products with multiple variants in the same listing (e.g., standard vs. premium versions). The premium variants cost more to produce and are priced accordingly. However, Amazon keeps suppressing the Featured Offer for the premium versions, seemingly because their price is higher than that of the standard versions within the same listing family.

We’ve done the following:

- Submitted cases with clear explanations and links to the specific variants on our own website

- Provided MSRP information and justification for the price difference

- Called support and asked for escalation

- Been told the decision has already been reviewed at the “highest level” and can't go further

-Explained that we are the manufacturer and sole authorized seller

The support team continues to reference “external pricing” and suggests lowering our price — which would result in a loss on every unit due to the higher production cost of the premium version.

We also attempted to reach out via Brand Registry, but the contact forms only offer limited dropdowns that don't apply to this situation.

Has anyone else run into this issue where Amazon’s pricing algorithm compares a higher-priced variant against a less expensive, different variant in the same family? If so:

Were you able to get it resolved?

Is there a team or escalation channel that can understand variant-specific pricing more accurately?

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice or help — maybe someone’s been through this?

I registered my Amazon seller account and uploaded all the required documents.

After 2 weeks, I received a request for additional documents — I submitted them.

Then came a notice: account deactivated under Section 3 (fraudulent or deceptive activity, etc.).

I appealed a few times. Eventually, I was invited for video verification, which I passed successfully.

They reactivated my account — because everything is legit: all documents are mine, I’m the real person behind the business, and I truly want to sell.

I registered my brand (under my own name), created a listing, and sent out my first shipment.

But then — only 6 days after the first reactivation, I received another notice:

account deactivated again under Section 3.

I’ve been using only one computer, one IP, no suspicious activity, and logged in from the same clean setup since day one.

I even reached out to support asking whether it was a mistake or some kind of system glitch.

They just replied with the same standard “deactivated under Section 3” response.

My inventory is already on the way. This is complete madness.

Has anyone been through something similar?

What are my options at this point?
