<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Notice

After doing some research, it might be because I have purchased from an unauthorized seller of the product.

Honestly, I did not even know my supplier was unauthorized. I purchased 20 units from Walmart, and one of them was defective, so Walmart connected me to their supplier by simply the supplier's name.

I contacted their supplier via eBay, as I could not find their information anywhere online, except the brand that Walmart gave me.

I bought the product from that supplier, and sold it on Amazon. It may be that supplier is not authorized distributor. But, how would I know this? I am just going out on a limb, and assuming that is the case.

Thank you.

A few questions for my understanding:

1. When you say, "I am done 99.999%", does that mean I can never sell anything on Amazon again?

2. Regarding getting approval from Anua, would I reach out to Anua directly (as in not on Amazon Sell a Product), once I have their authorization, then and only then I would be able to sell on Amazon?

3. Buying from retail stores, and selling them on Amazon, is that not a legitimate way to sell on Amazon? i.e. If I buy a product on Walmart, and I apply through "Apply to sell" on Amazon, where I show them 10 X quantity, and prices of that product. Is that not a legitimate approach to sell?

4. Lastly, Receipts =/= do not equal invoices?

Thanks for your help.

"1. When you say, "I am done 99.999%", does that mean I can never sell anything on Amazon again?"

That is the likely outcome. You did NOT study Seller U and apparently didn't bother reading the Forum to see all of the FORMER sellers that did exactly what you did.

"2. Regarding getting approval from Anua, would I reach out to Anua directly (as in not on Amazon Sell a Product), once I have their authorization, then and only then I would be able to sell on Amazon?"

Amazon increasingly is requiring LOAs from the brands involved. Since Anua has a store on Amazon and there are only a couple of sellers other than Anua there is a pretty good bet they do NOT allow anyone else to sell their products here (and probably not anyplace else). Those couple of sellers are likely to end up suspended eventually unless they have an LOA. You are too late to even think about it for Amazon at this point.

"3. Buying from retail stores, and selling them on Amazon, is that not a legitimate way to sell on Amazon? i.e. If I buy a product on Walmart, and I apply through "Apply to sell" on Amazon, where I show them 10 X quantity, and prices of that product. Is that not a legitimate approach to sell?"

It USED to be a decade ago but NOT allowed under the new, improved Amazon policies.. There are dozens of posts on the Forum where FORMER sellers were suspended even after years of selling here. The MODS have made it very clear that OA and RA are not allowed but there are a few fossils on here that still believe it can be done.

"4. Lastly, Receipts =/= do not equal invoices?"

Again, hundreds of posts on the Forum proving that they are not. Never have been, and, never will be. No chain of custody and no provenance showing authenticity. Hopefully you did NOT send anything to Amazon for FBA or all product will be seized and all funds will be withheld.

What you SHOULD have done is study Seller U. Now you can be a poster child for any other rookies that want to sell here successfully by NOT doing what you did.
