Understanding Seller-to-Seller Messaging Risks

Some sellers on Amazon are experiencing unsolicited messages from other sellers through the buyer-seller messaging system, which is a violation of Amazon's terms of service. These messages often falsely claim that the recipient is infringing on intellectual property rights, complete with trademark numbers and official-sounding jargon. This tactic aims to intimidate sellers into removing their listings. It is essential for sellers to refrain from responding, as doing so could inadvertently violate the same terms and lead to complications with Amazon.
