One of the brands we have been selling on Amazon for the last several years invited us to join their brand registry and added us as an authorised reseller but it was declined by Amazon when we accepted the invitation, citing

"Your request to be added to the brand has been declined. We reserve the right to decline requests where we have identified that your account has either been involved in abusive conduct on our website or you are related to an account that was used for abusive conduct."

We appealed and their reply is below..We have no recollection of anything that we have done for either the above or below reasons they are citing.

"Your Brand Registry appeal request for brand has been rejected.

Why did this happen?

This decision was made due to one or more of the following reasons:

a) your account was engaging in conduct that violates Brand Registry’s policies, such as, but not limited to, invalid notice submissions through our notice submission channels or tampering with the catalog;

b) your application or account is related to other Amazon accounts or brands that have violated Amazon or Brand Registry’s policies,

c) you are associated with one or more selling accounts as a primary owner and all of them have failed seller verification,

d) inability to provide sufficient evidence of branding on products/packaging;

e) you have a selling account that is de-activated, or

f) your trademark application appears to be filed by a filing firm that may be violating US federal regulations and USPTO rules (explained below)."
