This is a first I seen from Amazon!

So I just got this email from Amazon. This email is very similar and common on Ebay depending on what category you sell in. But usually Amazon will just kill the account. The account I got it on is about 6 months old and has been doing 3-4k per month in the dvd category. Guess I will just slow down a little and not list this product anymore.

Yeah they been doing that for awhile I remember getting that a couple times a couple months ago. They do it when you seem like a decent seller not worth kicking out yet but also not to good that your to good for a warning. So basically just be grateful for the warning and slow down on that account and don't list that item again or you will get the boot.

I think what is going on here is entirely different. As we should all know, Amazon loves corporate c*ck and is the biggest knob gobbler around. What I am trying to say is that if some manufacturer goes in and tells Amazon "only authorized dealers can sell so and so", Amazon will fall all over themselves to make sure all the marketplace sellers are "authorized". No legal basis for any of it, just corporate bullying tactics!

I've received it too, i was just like whatever

This just caught me off gaurd since they are so strict and normally just give people the boot.

Ninja- How old was the account you received it on?

3 years old, and im in the same field as you, my dvds are very rare, but the thing is i'd only sell like once or twice every 3 months, after i received the letter my account did go under review though
