Hello @Seller_8x3sNQfLEdD3H,
My name is Dougal from the Community Manager Team and I happy to assist wherever I am able. The case ID and complaint ID you mentioned which are both still in review so I cannot comment on how that will turn out.
I always advise reviewing the Intellectual Property for Rights Owners help page. I suggest paying specific attention to the "Types of notices not accepted on Amazon," section. Specifically the Exclusive Distribution bullet point. Report a violation submissions should include Specific identification of the IP you believe is infringed.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or if you need assistance after a decision is made on your complaint ID.
Best, Dougal

@Dougal_Amazonchatted with seller support, the complaint ID is 17520289211, since I submitted same content thrice they will collate all of it and above is the complaint#
I would sincerely appreciate it if the team can expedite since its close to a month & the hijacker is enjoying all my sales and pushed my listing hard along with ranking/sales. I am really frustrated!

Hello @Seller_8x3sNQfLEdD3H,
Thank you for the complaint ID. With how the information you provided in this complaint ID, you received the correct response. You need to stick to only facts when reporting, state simply that the item you received is different than the detail page. I really do understand your frustration, but mentioning counterfeit will trigger the response to report an Intellectual Property violation. You cannot currently report a counterfeit because your TM is still pending. This is why you received the response you did.
Your report of abuse should be focused solely on the fact that you received a different product than the Detail page.
Best, Dougal

@Dougal_Amazon I have not received a response yet for this complaint ID, is there any update on my case? I feel lost!
Seller_8x3sNQfLEdD3H
Hi @Dougal_Amazoncomplaint ID is 17520289211 is the complaint ID for April 1 which I submitted as a counterfeit but after our discussion here I tried reporting them as product received is different from the listing.. but for those I am not receiving complaint ID at all starting April 3/4 and even today I have not got complaint ID for my new submissions. I spoke to seller support and they say the same story asking me to wait.. how could I even without having a complaint ID? Secondly, its been a month since this seller chuwudianzi has taken over my listing. I am super frustrated. Seeking high priority support to resolve this asap.

Hello @Seller_8x3sNQfLEdD3H,
I can only escalate issues that have a support case or complaint ID. Without that, I cannot validate what was submitted or weigh in on if the response you received was correct or not. That being said, when you submitted the report abuse using "The product received is different than the product on the detail page (different version, model or product)," what did you see after you submitted (since you are not getting a complaint ID email)... A screen that said thank you for submitting or something like that?
I can try 1 other thing, if you submitted the report abuse with an order ID, I can attempt to search for an ongoing investigation on that order ID.
- 113-5838683-7869010 - I found only 1 case from 11 days ago and that mentions complaint ID 17507773321 - and a response was provided similar to our discussion here.
- 113-7003098-4413044 - I found 8 cases, the most recent is from 4/4 where you were informed that this was being forwarded to another team (Case ID 17537730561)
Are there any other order ID's?

the chuwudianzi seller has now disappeared.. believe he has been pushed out. Fingers crossed. I am unable to track this complaint ID's submission from my end, can you help me know when I submitted this. I kind off lost my tracking data.

Hello @Seller_8x3sNQfLEdD3H,
I am so relieved to read this (as I am sure you are). The date I am seeing on this complaint ID was 4/10/25.
Please let me know if this happens again or you see the same seller back.
Best, Dougal

@Dougal_Amazon can you please help me with it? I would like to do it the right way first itself unlike last time, since I did multiple times the previous time I like to understand what version of the content did I on the complaint ID through which action was taken to remove chuwudianzi.

Hello @Seller_8x3sNQfLEdD3H,
My recommendation is to complete a test buy first to best understand what the issue is (incorrect product, TM violation etc.) Then depending on what you find on the product or its packaging you will proceed accordingly:
For any suspected Intellectual Property (IP) infringements, follow the Intellectual Property for Rights Owners help page for what constitutes an enforceable IP infringement and then proceed to using the report a violation tool on the Brand Registry site as needed.
If the product does not specifically violation your IP, but is clearly not the same product report abuse via your Account Health Dashboard in Seller Central and select "The product received is different than the product on the detail page (different version, model or product)." Include the most relevant info as well. For example, in your last submission, the FNSKU on the label was viewable which was used in the investigation.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Best, Dougal
