Today I received an Amazon Policy Violation for Copyright Infringement. When I looked up the ASIN in question I noticed 1) There were tons of sellers on that listing. 2) I did not upload the pictures in question. Someone else did and I just Sell Similar to them...and 3) I hadn't sold that product in 6+ months. So I am assuming everyone who has sold that product got a violation.
I don't think its fair for me to get a violation when I did not upload the pictures in question..Someone else did.
Does anyone know how to fight this?
Thanks!

I had that few years back as I listed a product which was international edition and even many other people have that same one listed are still listed and I got policy violation warning. Its a luck of the draw that you got picked. First few month you have to be careful and sale cheap legit items and than go big. Because after a while ama zon dont care to look for you. I have 4 stealth account for almost 2 years no issues.
Copyright Infringement on Amazon has a zero percent tolerance policy. In most cases you need to be approved to sell high risk items. You need to be approved from the trademark/rights owner AND amazon. And just because a seller created a listed doesnt give you the right to piggy back. If one seller creates a listing and 100 people piggy back you all will get the violation. Same goes for listing in the wrong category, and about 100 other listing violations.
Well again I feel this is not my fault...I have actually done a little digging and have found out what has happened. The item in question at some point had the original pictures changed...It happened WAY after I sold this item...Amazon went back an issued everyone a policy violation.
This is not fair..I have no control over when someone changes a picture. and you DO NOT NEED to be approved to sell handbags. The item in question was a handbag. That is ridiculous that I need to get approved to sell it. I purchased it legally...Have the receipts. But the Rights Owner did not like their pictures being taken which is what some moron seller on Amazon did. Why is that my fault?
I think that I am not in the wrong because I am not in the wrong. Since you didn't even answer my original question which was How do I appeal a policy violation on Amazon?, its best that you not WASTE your time on this thread.
Seems like you are more interested in placing blame than helping...So toodles!
