@RolleWithSteve There's no Letter of Authorization requirement in Amazon's TOS. If you can find it, copy and paste it here.

Amazon Resellers cry when they get their accounts shut down … but they don’t abide by Amazon’s terms of service. Show me a letter of authorization from Nike for you to sell their shoes on Amazon’s platform…that’s what the rule book says. Stop crying and build something that YOU own.

@cleartheshelf Nothing changed for me.

Hearing rumors of lots of brands that were gated coming back. What are you all seeing?

@ArbitrageOps C'mon men. Adidas, Nike, Converse, Hoka, New Balance, Cole Haan, all hard gated now. Let's be real, if this was not a glitch this is the end of OA as we knew it.

Amazon sentiment the worst it has ever been. Some have been forced off the platform Many have given up Many more thinking about throwing in the towel All of this while Amazon's revenue and customer demand is at an all time high This is when you dig deep and blow everyone else out of the water

@Eoin2M FBA

Section 3 DEFEATED in 5 days! ✅ - an A2A, 3rd Party, Prime Day purchase 🥳 Reply "FBA" and I'll send the 50 page PDF I sent to Amazon! Must be following 🫶 Great news for A2A!

@HolmsieCooks 90 pairs of shoes? How many boxes was it split in?

Amazon lost a 90 pair shipment I submitted a case with proof of purchase on October 19th They have yet to respond Anything I can do to expedite the process? Worried that I'm going to run out of time

@Amzappeals @FBACaio Supply chain docs.

Got my first appeal denied from amazon: 130 pages worth of supply chain Authorized Supplier Invoices matching the quantity of items sent to FBA... What do they need?

@ArbitrageOps @GavinSweeneyy At least AMZ is giving a 60 day notice this time. Huge improvement.

More brands going restricted. - Cole Haan (owned by Apax) - Lacoste (owned by Maus Freres) Possibly due to amazon exclusive or some import issues (US store mentioned specifically) @GavinSweeneyy ran a check and still able to sell in the UK. Could mean issues for other foreign brands being imported to the states. Would tread lightly

@Chadventures_ Section 3

🎃 Nothing scarier than a Section 3 suspension… 👻 One year ago today, I got my deactivation notice, and I wouldn’t wish that stress on anyone. I originally wrote a guide for The Buy Box on how I prepared for, and ultimately won my appeal, but no one should have to face a Section 3 unprepared. If you’re dealing with one now (or want to be ready), drop "Section 3" below, and I’ll send it your way.

@Amzappeals share

@ArbitrageOps what are fraud labels?

Scale then survive. Think a decade out Don't cut corners Don't buy from places that are too good to be true Don't buy fraud labels and gift cards Don't fight brands who clearly dont want you on their listings Don't get section 3d Don't grind profit to $0 chasing sales Don't be in a position where you need to liquidate to pay loan Don't give away your edge on social media Run a clean business, focus on your bottom line, keep your business to yourself. You'll watch your competition drop off over the years

@ReezyResells @SellerAmp Can you call it a BOLO if it sells only 25 units per month?

Dark mode for @SellerAmp is so dope!! Sometimes it's the little things ❤️ PS: This is a lowkey BOLO

@Amzappeals Why Orthomolecular? Listings with wrong brand name or restricted products?

@ArbitrageOps Now I see it is the "Suspected" type. Meaning it was initiated by AMZ, not the brand. Do all these ASINs have the wrong name in the Manufacturer field (considering the correct name should be Decker's Outdoors Corporation not Hoka One One)?

very cool way to start the morning

@Gator2Crypto Is it because the brand is named incorrectly? Or because the manufacturer doesn't say Decker's Outdoors Corporation?

My account has been deactivated 2+ months and Amazon just hit me with 3 Suspected IP Violations - Trademark misuse for HOKA. 🤣 Be on the lookout for Hoka Violations!

@Gator2Crypto @ArbitrageOps They can hit you with IP complaints when you are deactivated and all your listings are offline?

@ArbitrageOps HOKA , I’m deactivated and they just hit me with a bunch of them

@hxxntrr SCAM

Working with the wrong distributor can send you into a whirlpool of debt... There have been many sellers who have been scammed, or copped a section 3 just by buying from the wrong people Its always important to check if your suppliers are legit... or you could be next Lucky for you, I just created a list of some of the known scummy suppliers, Like, RT, and reply w/ "SCAM" and ill send you my list! (must be following so i can dm)

@tonafba SECTION 3

Section 3 is a scary thing. I've gone through it. And I've beaten it. Twice. I made a guide on how to beat it, as well as prevent it for newer sellers. Comment "SECTION 3" and I'll send you it. **must be following

@jonahhodges_ When you enroll in the Transparency program are all FBM sales prohibited? I mean, they can't enforce the transparency code rule for FBM orders right?

Been getting a lot of questions lately about how we’re helping brands get UNAUTHORIZED SELLERS off their listings There are a few ways. - by reaching out directly to sellers and asking them to remove (written letters, buyer messages, phone calls) - by reaching out to the other distributors of these brands (let them know the brand is no longer 3p friendly… and have them either contact, or cut off the retailers) - by getting the brand Brand Registered + enrolling in Transparency program if needed Helping a brand limit unauthorized sellers is one of the biggest value adds you can give them It’s a HUGE pain point for the brand I’m a resellers worst nightmare I’ve been on the other side… it sucks losing solid profitable listings But if you’re selling brands who DON’T WANT YOU TO SELL It’s only a matter of time before you get kicked off too Play the game, or get played 🤷🏽‍♂️

@Legal_Echelon What is the minimum you charge?
