Hi there @Seller_eIWOZPcqFlQ2i,

I hope this finds you well!

Since 2017, I only sell new items I am authorized to sell that have been purchased from authorized wholesale suppliers. I want to sell 1 of ASIN B07VRMY56V as "used".

I understand you have questions regarding intellectual property and used items. While I do not have a concrete answer for you, I would like to provide insight into the relevant policies and a few resources to assist you while on Amazon.

As with any intellectual property, it is important to ensure you are using it lawfully as well as with proper authorization, as all sellers are expected to follow local, state, federal laws in addition to Amazon policies. Some violations may be satisfied with an invoice, while others will require a letter of authorization.

since I did not source this item from an authorized supplier, I would never list it as new but wondered if I could list it as used

Sourcing from responsible suppliers and maintaining sourcing documentation is another expectation Amazon has for all sellers as well. For certain violations, such as counterfeit without a test buy or product authenticity complaints, a valid invoice from the supplier would satisfy the violation as you would be able to prove your supply chain and the item be traced back to the original brand or manufacturer.

My wife actually purchased this item new on Amazon years ago but we never used it so it just sits in the box, still in new condition

In regards to your wife purchasing the item from Amazon, did she purchase them directly from the brand? How are you able to prove these items are coming from the original brand? Are you able to provide an invoice or order ID?

Listed below are the requirements for sourcing documentation request:

• Copies of invoices, receipts or other similar documents that demonstrate where your products are produced or manufactured
• These documents:
• Should reflect the sales volume of your product across all Amazon marketplaces in the last 365 days
• Should demonstrate your product’s full supply chain
• Should include contact information for the supplier(s) and the original manufacturer. We may contact suppliers or manufacturers to verify the documents
• Your documents should be able to trace your products to the original manufacturer even if you did not purchase them directly from the original manufacturer. This may require requesting additional invoices or supply chain documentation from your supplier if you are not sourcing directly from the manufacturer.
• You may remove pricing information, but the rest of the document must be visible to enable adequate review of the documents you provide. For ease of our review, you may highlight or circle the ASIN(s) under review.

While Amazon allows certain conditions of items to be sold, all listings and items will still remain subject to potential intellectual property issues if the intellectual property for a specific item, brand, or trademark is also still active and valid.

If you have any further questions in regards to any of this, please continue to utilize this thread. The forums community and I are here to support you.

All the best,
