Walmart seller central, Very Unethical practice

[bandit2020]

Come to find out that Walmart is removing all sellers that sell Automotive OEM parts on the site and kicking them, unpublishing them and signed up a deal with those bandits @ Revolution Auto, if you ever look on google for an auto part 99% of all sites have the same data, they are owned by Revolution, ive been on Walmart for 5 years and got all my listings removed so they can now only have authorized dealers that have a quid pro quo agreement with Revolution can sell.

are WMT customers complaining of ⊗⊗⊗⊗ OEM parts?

It's the way or the world now sadly.

Walmart, Amazon, ebay, Ferrari, Rolex, the list is endless. Unfortunately unethical doesn't make it illegal and that is all they care about when we're talking about money.

Even if there was any legally questionable practices nobody will prosecute them because those entrusted with upholding the law are in the pockets of big business.

Just look at the brazen way big pharma operates openly flaunting the connections they have.

likely way too many knockoffs causing the need for action

Arent the sales venues held liable as well?
AMZN third party seller sold a dog leash which blew up ?and AMZN was sued

Its frustrating, Walmart is the worst customer service on the planet, my store was one of the very 1st sites to get approved and i've been on there since 2017, not happy. In fact, i'm going to write to their corporate dept, with some good help from AI to create a well planned out argument. For years i tried to get Revolution to lease me their catalogue, but nope, unless you are a registered dealer, you can't get access.

I understand the reason they want to use the catalogue, its very informative, but FFS they need to allow the small independents use of the catalogue too, not just franchised dealers.

rules are rules,you will need to comply and become a registered dealer.
Airlines have just found out some of the parts they purchased and installed on their planes are counterfeit with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ certificates.
Just think someone will use Revolution catalogue but sell ⊗⊗⊗⊗ products,they will be liable.
You will have to sell elsewhere or set up your own website(do you sell on Ebay,I know they have Ebay motors)

But the last 5 years your sales have been quite good though?

Yea, I hope so too of course.

It's just a tough platform to be accepted in the first place.
