Dear @Ezra_Amazon @Sarah_Amzn @Julia_Amazon @Spencer_Amazon,

We are seeing more of an abusive selling practice on Amazon. We have had a situation where a smaller seller has copied all of our images and patented them and then asked Amazon to remove these. We have been selling these items long before this company was even registered and have evidence of this. The IPO office automatically approve any designs, but it can take a very long time for these to be removed / cancelled. It does state on their website "Your invention must be: new - it must not have been made publicly available anywhere in the world"

We have tried explaining this to Amazon and provided evidence of this item being available before these guys wrongly registered a design that is not theirs. We have advised this is a breach of Seller conduct but we are not getting anywhere. We have started to take legal action but this can be takes months. Our account is now at risk of deactivation.

We have been selling on Amazon for a long time. The whole process is so open to abuse, that another seller (as a precaution) just recently trademarked 50 random designs with the IPO from images on Amazon for £90 and plans to do the same thing by reporting all competitors. This is how easy it is get other listings removed for a few months at least and amazon do not do anything

This seller will not get away with this outside of Amazon but it is a shame Amazon know about this abuse but do nothing

Can someone advise how we can add that, please?

Amazon removed a few of our products (saws) because they have blades and need age verification. Can we add that, please?

Is anyone else suffering from this??

It's becoming intolerable..

We are fully compliant in the UK, USA & EU, yet this keeps happening.

#1 bestseller removed (again..).

Proof sent to Amazon on a case last week prior to takedown.

Given how much the fees and ad's are compared to other channels, you'd think this wouldn't happen.

How is any business capable of crushing their own merchants, which are the lifeblood of the business.

I'd welcome anyone else's views, as we've just about had enough of the constant uncertainty..
