🍽️ Sellers are being flagged for legit products

A new Amazon seller thought they’d scored big with liquidation finds, until a rival accused them of selling counterfeits. 

What happened next exposed a harsh truth about Amazon’s gray zones.

SELLER CONFESSIONS

Can selling legit products get you flagged?

An Amazon seller (OP) confessed: Another seller threatened them, accusing them of selling a counterfeit product, one OP insists was completely legit.

According to OP, they received a message accusing them of selling a fake version of an ASIN they had sourced through a liquidation auction

When the rival demanded OP remove it “or face an A–Z complaint,” fear won out, the product came down. 

Was the threat real or just scare tactics?

The community didn’t waste a second calling it like it is—freeloading on someone else’s branding. 

As one seller put it, “ungated doesn’t mean unrestricted.”

Harsh? Maybe. Curious why they called it that?
