Reasons for Amazon account suspension: Selling counterfeit products
It is the responsibility of every seller and supplier to supply, sell and market only genuine products.
Prohibited products include:
- bootlegs (audio and video recordings compiled and distributed without the permission of the copyright holder);
- counterfeits or pirated copies of goods or content;
- products that have been illegally reproduced or manufactured;
- goods that infringe the intellectual property rights of another party.
If you sell or supply non-authentic products, Amazon may immediately freeze or suspend your Amazon seller account and dispose of any non-authentic items in stock.
Amazon does not pay sellers until we are sure our customers have received genuine items. They may withhold payments if they discover that an Amazon account has been used to:
- sell non-genuine items
- commit fraud
- engage in other illegal activities
