Do i need brand approval to sell used items ???
Hello.
I wanted to know of any issue when listing items that are `USED` against brands that maybe brand registered.
I obviously wont have invoices to prove supply chain from the brand. I have tried listing a few items and it seems some are lock and other are not.
I will be getting items from the usual sort of places you get second hand goods from like auctions or charity shops etc.
Is there any issues in doing this ? my understanding is as long as the item is as per listing and I have listed it as USED with correct grades then this is ok. Can a brand be spiteful and report an trademark or copywrite infringement against my account so to remove my item? If this happens I wont have an official brand invoice to counter it?
Any mods available to assist ?
Thanks

Approval generally applies to all conditions - used and new - on gated products. This effectively makes it impossible to sell used goods on restricted ASINs.
Not many potential sellers of used items will be able to produce current invoices for multiple 'official' purchases. In BMVD, at least, it means that numerous 'popular' titles are only available either new from Amazon and a few other big sellers or used from megasellers like magpie and webuy.
Outside of BMVD I believe it is even moe difficult to obtain approval for used items in certain categories
