Woke up this morning to find a large number of Suspected Intellectual Property Violations: Trademark Misuse (AirPods). The list keeps growing every 10 minutes.

The only common factor seems to be that these are electronic items with USB-C charging.

Has any other vendor received similar suspected violations today? Any insights or comments?

Is Amazon Support Really This Broken?
by Seller_qYuL3d46JR1Py

I’m genuinely stunned by how unhelpful Seller Support has become. All I needed was the “Letter of Authorization for secondary user” template — something Amazon’s own system asked for and linked to, but the help page didn’t actually contain. Instead of simply providing the document or explaining where to find it, support kept asking me for completely irrelevant information: screenshots, timestamps, “exact navigation paths,” and then claimed my timestamp wasn’t “valid.” None of this had anything to do with locating the missing template, yet I kept complying and re-sending everything just to move things forward. After several back-and-forths, I finally gave up, figured out the template myself, and successfully added the user.

Days later, out of nowhere, I received a totally unrelated copy-paste response in that case saying:

“We have reviewed your submission, but we could not complete your verification. As a result, your account will not be activated… Your account has been deactivated because you may have outstanding document or information requests in your Seller Central account.”

This response had absolutely nothing to do with my case. 😅 I wasn’t submitting verification documents or anything related to account activation. It’s like they just grabbed a random canned message and sent it to close the ticket. What is going on inside Seller Support? Are agents even reading the messages anymore, or are they just judged on how fast they can send a reply? Maybe it’s time Amazon revisits its KPIs - because when the system rewards volume over resolution, sellers end up stuck in endless loops of nonsense instead of actually getting help.

INFORM Issues With Bank Account
by Seller_gatjkdfPmzT4O
Amazon replied

We have never had an issue with the INFORM verification every year, but this year we are running into a problem. So we verified all our information, but had to provide an updated driver license since the old one expired. Then for some reason it asked for re-verification of bank account details even though we have never changed our bank account and have been using the same one for over a decade. It has been 15 business days and still showing as pending verification and we keep getting warning banners that our account is at risk of deactivation. I provided the necessary and correct documentation for the verification. Seller Support has been completely useless and keeps stating this has nothing to do with INFORM even though that is what triggered this situation.

"Tricks" Amazon uses to put sellers on ignore
by Seller_cia9RGiT9TJAG

1. Pretending they can't reach you.

"I'm Aria of Amazon.com's Executive Customer Relations. Your email has been brought to my attention and I’m happy to assist you further.

I understand you're reaching out about your Amazon account, and I want to ensure we handle your request securely. I noticed this email address isn't currently linked to the Amazon account in question.

To protect your account security, I've sent a response to the email address associated with your Amazon account. This is a standard security measure we take to ensure your account information remains confidential."

This was received at the ONLY account we have on file. And our mail server shows no other messages received from their address, or with this subject, to ANY address.

Gee, I hope this post doesn't result in another "coincidence"...

I have been selling on Amazon for many years with stellar metrics. No issues at all. Because of this I have a high seller rating and have received "Account Health Assurance" which means that "Amazon will not deactivate my account if an issue arises so long as I work with the seller team to resolve it." Well, yesterday, my account was deactivated with ZERO prior warning due to suspected fraud. No warning, no outreach to solve the problem.....nothing. I am working diligently to get this resolved but the idea that Amazon is somehow "protecting" me because I have Account Health Assurance is nonsense.

🤝 Special Groups for Books & Handmade Sellers
by Seller_OYhlMo20wlr0d
Amazon replied

Do you sell books or handmade items on Amazon? Whether you're looking for category-specific insights, access to Amazon's product teams, or connections with sellers like you, there's a forum group just for you!

Just click the “Groups” tab in the navigation bar at the top of any forum page to get to your groups. If you’re a member of a private group, like the new Experienced Booksellers Group, you’ll need to sign in to see your group. For other groups like the Handmade Group and New Seller Community, anyone can see the group, but you’ll need to be a member to post.

Our Books and Handmade groups are managed in partnership with Amazon’s category teams for those products, so you’ll get need-to-know info on key updates and strategies for selling, and our category teams will also see your feedback and questions. Of course, all our groups enable you to connect with Amazon community managers and sellers like you, whether you sell a certain product or are new to selling on Amazon.

If you’re not a member of a group yet — or even if you are! — what new groups would you like to see?

Let us know in the comments below! And if you’ve already used our forum groups, tell us how we can make groups even better!

At first, the customer pretended to be Amazon to get a returnless refund from us.

We knew they were pretending, so we told them to contact Amazon directly as their order was a FBA order.

Now that they aren't getting their way, they are threatening us as below.

Isn't that criminal activity?

What is the suggested action here??
