Hi everyone,

I received a very strange "Notice: Policy Warning" email from Amazon, been trying to get it resolved for the past few days to no avail. I have pasted it below:

"We received a report that your listing for the product at the bottom of this message arrived in a different condition than described on the detail page. We have not deactivated your listing at this time, but repeat violations of listing products in the wrong condition may lead to listing deactivation.

Why did I receive this message?

We’re here to help.

ASIN: B09DKJQ3X1

Listed Condition: New

Correct Condition: Used

So first thing, the email says that they have not deactivated the listings... but they did... they're blocked. Second thing, is I know this is from a competitor because the only main listing left on the ASIN is a competitor that I have been competing with on nearly all of our top selling ASIN's. So conveniently only their listing is left with the lower price.

Now our products are all purchased directly from the distributor AND we are an authorized MS reseller. I did the logical thing and appealed the policy violation with one of our recent invoices, a letter from MS stating we are authorized AND pictures of the items showing they're 100% brand new.

I sent this information and I keep getting an email back within a couple hours stating the following, please see below:

"Hello,

Thank you for submitting your plan of action. We reviewed your appeal and determined that it is missing the following information. Please include the missing information listed below in your plan of action:

-- Proof of product authenticity (e.g., invoice). It must clearly prove that your products do not violate the Amazon listing policy. For example, if you received a warning for a not-as-described product, then please provide an invoice proving that your product matches the description on the product detail page.

Has your listing been deactivated in error?

If you believe there has been an error, please tell us why. Your explanation should include how your listing(s) have not violated Amazon's selling policies along with documents mentioned above to support authenticity.

So I'm stuck, I spoke with Account Health on the phone and they're giving me the run around about the invoice not being accepted. I told them this is one of largest tech distributors in the nation... I even told them I could put my MS business account manager on the line, but they said we have no further information.

Anyone seen something like this before and has advice?
