Threatening message from Amazon...What else is new?

[Robin Hood of Amazon]

So I got this message from Amazon----Hello,

We are contacting you because you may have created a product detail page for an item that already exists in our catalog. Because of this, you currently may not create new ASINs. Sellers on Amazon.com are not allowed to create more than one detail page for the same item.

Here are some examples of your listings:

ASIN: B078XLNSH B078XL33Z B078XL5K2 B078XM3QQ B078XL41V B078XKXYZ B078XL56H B078XLBMT B078XLQR9 B078XLVT8 B078XKQR8 B078XMC9C

To learn more about this policy, search for "Product Detail Page Rules" in Seller Central Help.

Please review your other listings in the Inventory section of Seller Central to make sure that they follow our policies (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/myi...istingsSummary). We will review your account again in 7 days. If this problem continues, we may not allow you to sell on Amazon.com.
--------So my questions is, what is the best way to sell my products without amazon finding out that i'm selling their exact same product but under another listing? Obviously I cant list under amazons listing because i'm not "approved" to sell those products or in that category.

It's been my experience on Amazon that you cannot create a new product detail page for an item that already exists in their catalog whether you try to create it in the same category as the existing item or you try to put it in another category. For instance, some sellers will try to create duplicate product detail pages in the "Everything Else" category thinking that Amazon will not catch it. That used to be true but their bots are getting wiser by the day. If Amazon catches you trying to create duplicate pages they will give you a warning (as they've done) and they will come back and review your listings again. If another instance of a duplicate listing(s) is found they will follow through and suspend your account. From what I'm reading on their seller message boards they are really cracking down on this. If I were you I'd remove any duplicate listings you've created before they return to review your account. Unfortunately, your account is now on their radar.

Easy solution:

STOP CLOGGING AMAZON WITH BULL**** LISTINGS.

It's annoying both as a seller and as a buyer to have to wade through this crap.

Ok, you need to stop trying to figure out what you are trying to figure out.

Follow their rules, seriously.... Amazon doesn't mess around and they'll nail you to the wall fast if you keep trying to work them like eBay.

Just use a single ASIN for one product and don't clog the market place.

Request and achieve approval from Amazon to list under the products you want.

Plenty of threads on this already.

Haha, and I'm one of the guys having to always request to merge listings together

Me too.

We're probably indirectly getting these fools banned.
