Asking for a mod to escalate this to someone who can fix it.

I now have several "Suspected Intellectual Property Violations" for "Trademark Misuse" of the brand name "Mega Construx." This is because someone changed the brand name attribute to "Mega Brands." If you don't know, these are the same thing. Mattel owns both of these brand names. The original brand name was "Mega Bloks," which they still use for their bigger brick toys aimed at younger kids, and they used "Mega Construx" for a few years and now they are changing their brand to just "Mega" for their main line of brick toys, all under the umbrella of "Mega Brands." The main point here is that it is all the same company, owned by Mattel.

I have a case open for this issue, #17460435981 for ASIN B075182VJP. (I also have the same "violation" for ASINs B0794K61QW and B07YT798DT, although I'm sure there are many more ASINs affected.) They keep telling me that the two brand names, "Mega Construx" and "Mega Brands," are registered separately in brand registry, and that I need to "Share a letter of authorization or licensing agreement proving that you're authorized by the rights owner to create and list products using [INSERT PROTECTED BRAND NAME] trademarked term." (I guess they couldn't decide which brand name to insert there.) Of course, the system is not asking for a licensing agreement between me (or any other 3rd party seller) and Mega Brands, it is asking for a licensing agreement between Mega Brands and Mega Construx, which does not exist because they are the same company.

There is no violation here. Someone at Amazon just needs to update their database to understand that these are the same company, and allow the term "Mega Construx" to be used in listings where the brand name attribute is "Mega Brands," and vice-versa.

My goods in the normal selling process by malicious sellers copying goods and commodity images; I complained about its picture infringement on the shelves to accept; the other malicious on the rest of my pictures complained that I infringed on his copyright; now lead to my goods can not be sold normally and the platform gives the answer is to allow me to submit the information to wait; the summer peak season is approaching the time is short; but I would like to say how to faster and better way to make my goods can be sold normally! And so on!

Hi everyone,

I’m brand new to Amazon selling and could really use some guidance. I just took the leap and invested in everything I need to start selling used books through FBA: A Scoutly membership for sourcing, a barcode scanner, shipping supplies, a decent-size inventory of used books sourced from local thrift stores and independent booksellers, And of course, I signed up and paid for a professional Amazon Seller account

The goal was simple: start a small, used book business by giving pre-owned books a second life through Amazon. However, every single book I’ve tried to list so far has been restricted or gated, regardless of condition or category.

This is incredibly discouraging, especially since selling used books was the only reason I created and paid for the seller account. I'm feeling pretty lost, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if there’s a hidden process I need to go through to get ungated for books or specific publishers.

Has anyone experienced this before? Are there workarounds? Do restrictions lighten over time with account age or sales? Is there something else I should try before giving up?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi there,

I am selling an unopened "collector's item" book in original packaging. Nervous about someone buying this, opening it, then returning. I will never be able to sell it again in that condition. Or even returning it and there now showing wear/tear to the packaging.

Is it best not to sell on Amazon, or is there a way to ensure no returns or limit my risk?

Thanks
