There are many rules and policies on the Amazon platform to regulate the various behaviors of users and sellers, so some sellers are more concerned about selling counterfeit goods. Want to know how to deal with the sale of counterfeit goods on the Amazon platform? The following is an introduction to this aspect.
1. Amazon is committed to providing Amazon buyers with a reliable shopping experience. Selling on Amazon means that the seller agrees:
Selling counterfeit and shoddy goods is strictly prohibited;
Selling illegally sold goods, such as illegally copied, reproduced or manufactured goods, is strictly prohibited;
If Amazon requires sellers to provide authenticity records of goods, such records must be provided;
If the seller does not comply with this policy, it may result in the loss of sales rights, withholding of funds, and destruction of Amazon’s inventory.
2. What is the penalty for selling counterfeit and shoddy products on Amazon?
The possibility of selling counterfeit and shoddy goods on Amazon is low. Generally speaking, sellers will not risk selling counterfeit and shoddy goods because it is not easy to run an Amazon store, from product selection to product promotion and operation, as well as logistics costs. If you sell counterfeit goods, all of these will become useless, and I believe sellers will not do this. Once it is found that the seller is complained about selling counterfeit goods, the consequences will be very serious. Amazon’s anti-counterfeit policy is:
Any goods sold on the Amazon website must be authentic.
Amazon prohibits the sale of unauthorized copies, pirated and counterfeit goods;
If you are complained about selling on the Amazon platform, the seller’s account can easily be stopped by Amazon and the funds will be frozen.
How to win back Amazon’s favor in this case and avoid repeating the same mistakes in the future will be the first problem for seller friends. If you are complained about selling counterfeit goods on the Amazon platform, you need to check your Amazon account and Amazon will send you an email. In order to find out what factors may lead to the closure of the store, you need to review recent actions. If you are closed for selling counterfeit and shoddy goods and don’t know who really owns the sales rights of the product, check with the manufacturer. Ask all suppliers where they buy goods from and how to confirm the authenticity of the product to find out if they have obtained production authorization.
In fact, the Amazon platform will impose severe penalties on the sale of counterfeit and shoddy products. At the same time, we should not risk selling some imitations. As long as the platform finds the same product, there will be some penalties.
