"Follow selling" is a unique feature on Amazon, that is, as long as you can provide a product that is exactly the same as the listing without infringing on the rights of others, you can follow sell this product. In English, it can be expressed as “Sell Yours on Amazon”.
Sellers can follow the sale in two ways:
(1) Find the product you want to copy sell. There is a "Sell on Amazon" button below the product shopping cart. Click the button and fill in the relevant information to start the search.
(2) Go to the Amazon backend and find the "Add a Product" button. Then enter the UPC code (or ENA code, ASIN code) or product title in the search box, find the product you want to follow and sell, and click the "Sell Yours" button to follow.
2. How to cancel follow-up sales:
If the seller accidentally follows the sale of a brand-protected product, or does not want to follow the sale anymore, he can directly stop selling the follow-sale product, or cancel the follow-sale in the backend inventory (Inventory) through the following two methods.
(1) Click “Close the Listing” to change the inventory of the listing to 0
(2) Click “Delete the product and listing” to delete the hijacked product.
What should I do if Amazon is copied by others?
1. Find a platform to complain about infringement
If your Amazon store has done brand registration, you can go directly to the Report Infringement page, file a complaint to Amazon as a trademark holder, and ask the Amazon team to remove the copycat sales.
2. the store that sells the same product
Go to the Amazon store that is selling your products, contact the person in charge of the store via email and warn the other party to remove the products from the shelves. Be sincere and use a strong tone in the email. The other party may give up copying you for the sake of their own account security.
3. Test buy
If the warning letter is ineffective, conduct a test purchase to prove that the products are different and then open a case to request the cancellation of the follow-up sale. You can find local friends or reliable buyers from evaluation agencies. After purchasing the products, take more pictures of the product packaging and the actual product, and complain to Amazon that the products being sold are not genuine or have quality issues.
4. Buy out inventory
Buying out inventory is a method that should only be used as a last resort. For example, if the previous three measures are ineffective, buying out inventory can be used to eliminate copycat sales. However, this requires a large amount of capital, which can be said to be a very risky method.
