Yeah, from what I understand, I would have no standing to do so and end up having the same issue as on the main listing.

Or I'm not understanding something.

How are you keeping other sellers off of this listing?

You can't unless you are the owner of the brand...

I agree Saijin, I was just asking for how he would accomplish this.

I am not sure that the exact steps would be shared openly.

What category of sales are you in Papyrusman?

[Papyrusman]

I have two companies, one is books, one is kitchenwares. Both are wholesale

USPTO application, then call Amazon to get their brand protection.
That USPTO application will take 14-16 months though

[Papyrusman]

Oh yeah, you can use their IP accelerator to get your brand protection early.

But I was under the impression he was doing this on a "generic" brand listing.

Yes exactly.. they can't list on it, it'll give them a message stating so as soon as they attempt to list on it. It's saved me so much grief from hijackers and lost profits..

In the manufacture section put generic, does your product have a product code, put no..

First listing you'll go through the category ungating for generic, just click 1 button and it's automatically accepted.

In title, you can put the brand name.. most the time.. if its like Adobe, and you try putting that and you won't be able to list until you remove all words that state Adobe. Adob e will work, the keyword search you can put adobe👍 ppl will find it just fine

Adding variations is a great method as the listing can be edited in the future. And if someone leaves bad review on a variation, simply delete it and replace it..

Please note, if you account gets closed and you open another. You won't be able to list on it either..

You don't need to be registered as a brand owner for generic.

[Papyrusman]

thanks for getting back to us. I think this may be happening in my niche!

[SaiJin]

Honestly the brand protection on amazon has dipped in quality.

You have to be a big player like say.... Adobe to be able to tell them "NO".

But smaller brands aren't completely protexted anymore as of last year. =\

[Papyrusman]

If they weren't pretty much the only game in town, I wouldn't do business with them.

Hence why they continue to dominate and put any smaller competition to the grave...

EU is looking into AMZN hiding sellers with higher prices.

Established accounts. 2 yrs+4yrs
positive feedback.
Sold items/ so has history.
Performance is 100% Perfect.

Attempting to advertise but that doesn't work even if the listing is a new item. From what I've read you need to win the buy box first.

Listing items has reviews, established. Different items, different prices, Category is software. still no buy box.

I know If i transfer it to FBA i'd get the buy box, but that i refuse and will continue FBM. For no particular reasons, and even though it's been several years I refuse to accept defeat.


Any insight would be appreciated.

Win the Buy Box with FBM is tough since Amazon Favor's faster shipping. Keep your metrics spotless, price competitively including shipping, and consider Seller Fulfilled Prime if you can handle strict delivery standards.
