I got banned from selling on Amazon after only selling there 5 days. I have 12 sales, RI's and polybags mostly. I still have zero feedback and zero complaints. They accused me of selling counterfeit items. I have no freaking idea what made them think that. The best part is they are holding my funds for 90 days! I appealed it but I think I'll stick to ebay even if they let me back on.

 

Here is some of the email. All I can do is laugh about it, just ridiculous. 

 

We have removed your selling privileges, canceled your listings, and placed a temporary hold on any funds in your Amazon.com seller account.

We took these actions because we believe there is a significant risk that you are offering counterfeit items on our site.

Items offered for sale on our site must be authentic. This policy prohibits offering any item that has been illegally replicated, reproduced, or manufactured. For information on this policy, search "Amazon Anti-Counterfeiting Policy" in Seller Central Help.

Logic and rationality are the governing forces of smart investors and consumers, not the average American consumer. That's why some people pay more for something that they want for their children etc. and that's what makes investors like us profit.

Exactly, that`s why a lot of retail stores are still in business when you can buy the exact same item for a fraction of the price online. Crazy, but it`s just the way it is. I don`t, I`d rather save money so I can buy more of what I want vs paying more to get the item quicker. Patience is almost always worth the wait.

I got a response from Amazon asking for receipts for all the 'Lego Brand Toys' I had listed. I sent them the scans, hopefully it will work out. 

 

At least they are keeping an eye out for fakes. Ebay is flooded with them. 

 

That's promising. eBay does the same when sales velocity hits their pre-set algorithms. Let us know how it works out.

Hope it works out! I like the idea that Amazon is looking and trying to stop people from selling fakes. It's better than eBay where almost all the listings from China that relate to Lego are fake. Amazon still has fake sets for sale by third party sellers, but they aren't trying to sell them as Lego, they made their own brand which is the exact same as Lego.

Congrats on getting unbanned! I'm really surprised on how fast Amazon reviewed you account and made a decision. I thought it would takes weeks before you heard a response from them.

My Disney Frozen approval took about a month, but I had a lot of items listed . Now you can keep shooting for the holiday period pre selling target .

Congrats on your official unbanning.

I thought so too. After sending the receipts Friday they emailed me back Sunday asking for one I was missing. I got it off my lego profile and sent it in, a day later I'm back.

 

A special thanks to LEGO for keeping all my LEGO Shop at Home order history online
