Crest, owned by Procter & Gamble (P&G), you are playing with fire here, since you sold it before, doesn't mean that brand owner or manufacture wants to limit or restrict resell of their products.

We sold brands before here as well, problem becomes when Distributors are stuck on massive inventory and cannot move products, they list or resell it, to clear inventory, and 3rd party resellers, don't have about brand value, but want to make quick 5-10% profit, which under values the brand. So brands go to Amazon, sign a deal that either they control what can be sold, or eliminate 3rd party resellers. Or sell as Vendor directly to Amazon Canada, so Amazon handles the brand for them.

Because it is cheaper on Amazon doesn't mean brand owner will like that. Here is something we learned about Crest Products or any kind of Oral Products. Technically you are not supposed to be reselling any of these types products that go into your mouth. Meaning that distributors supposed to be selling this to big box stores, which take responsibility if anything happens that person ingests the product, or dentist office, as they are technically approved, authorized people to sell this to customers.

Saying that, there are grey areas. remember amazon is not what it used to be 10 years ago, many things changed, and they changed for worse. Not saying about gated things, but all of the fees, Low stock inventory fee. Amazon fault that they 2 weeks to receive products. You stock up more products that wont sell, Long term storage fees. It is becoming more difficult to run a smooth business. Don't get on the topic of their automated bots, that flag stuff because AI is not smart enough to understand or distinguish products.

Few years ago we were selling Hair Mousse, bot flagged it as FOOD product, when talking to support, they don't understand that it is Hair Product that goes in Hair, and millions of people use it. They assume it is eating.

We spent more than half a day, dealing with Amazon incompetence, fixing their issues, because 100 other sellers are listing under that listing, it is our responsibility to fix it.

Brand Owner - Another story, we deal with few brand owners, changed we submit should be getting to brand owner for approval, brand owner never gets it. After spending months with brand owner and amazon support, we found out that there was another email contact attached to that brand, however, it never showed up in the brand owner account.

I could go on and on and on. Why do we still sell. There are customers all over Canada, that want product and amazon is the only place so far, they can order it from.
