Hello Sellers,

Returns don't always mean something's wrong with your product. Often, it just means the customer didn't get the help they needed in time: a setup issue, a missing part, a quick "how do I use this?" moment.

Left unresolved, these turn into returns. Resolved early, they turn into retained customers.

What Amazon Product Support Does

Amazon Product Support is built to catch these moments. It helps customers troubleshoot issues, set up products correctly, and find quick resolutions before they decide to return.

Where Manufacturer Support Comes In

When the issue needs deeper expertise, Manufacturer Support connects customers directly to your brand's official support channels, including phone, website, or service portals.

No guesswork. No generic responses. Just accurate, brand-led support when it matters most.

Why This Matters for Your Business

  • Fewer avoidable returns because problems get solved at the source
  • Better customer experience without adding friction to the buying journey
  • Direct interaction with your customers so you maintain post-purchase visibility with your brand
  • Real impact: 64% of customers who use Manufacturer Support don't end up returning their product

What It Takes to Participate

  • Brand Registry enrolment
  • Active support channels (phone, website, or service portal)

The Shift

Post-purchase doesn't have to be a cost centre. Handled right, it's where you retain customers, build trust, and protect revenue.

You can explore Amazon Product Support in Seller Central to get started.

Came upon this store in the same category as us that is selling similar product line. Looking at their store page they have a video of a product we custom made for our client last year. They also have a picture of the same product on their product page under product descriptions. Seller is using our copyrighted product video and product photography without authorization to advertise and represent their own listing.

Filled out forms for infringement but always get the same reply that further action cannot be taken.

How on earth does Amazon let such a response be allowed, this shows how inappropriate and unequipped the support staff you are employing. We got his message below while applying for a trademark registration and out of nowhere we are hit with such a response at 6am! I felt like we got hit by a BUS and thought our account got deactivated even though we are in the green and you have falsely flagged half our catalogue. The level of this type of support is unbelievable. I really want to know how this employee messed up this bad.

Our account is still active and we have no issues. Amazon has become a sellers foe and not friend.

When we first listed our products under our brand years ago, we went through a rigorous Brand Approval (directly approved us to create ASINs under our brand name). We submitted images showing our brand permanently affixed to the items and packaging. Once approved, our listings appeared under our brand rather than as Generic.

Now 3 years later Amazon is requesting proof of permission, to sell our own self manufactured brand. We are the creators of the brand (it’s the same name as our Amazon store) so it’s odd that the system is asking us to request permission from ourselves.

They are asking for an invoice to verify the brand. My questions for the community/mods:

1. Should we provide the invoice from and to ourselves at the cost of product production? In another thread someone suggested “You show invoices from your manufacturing division to your sales division.”

2. Or, for a self-branded product made in Canada, should we provide input-material invoices instead? Amazon specifies that invoices must show at least 10 units, but material invoices naturally reflect bulk materials purchased, not finalized units with names matching Amazon Titles.

3. Amazon says: “Please note that we may verify your submitted documentation by contacting product vendors you identify in your application.” In our case, since we are the manufacturer, will they actually contact us, and how have others handled this?”

I’d love to hear how others in similar situations have handled this. Thank you for any advice.

I am a long-standing and experienced brand seller on Amazon. Recently, I suddenly received numerous customer feedbacks stating that they had purchased counterfeit and inferior products under our brand from other sellers on Amazon.

I was confused because I have never authorized our brand to any other sellers. After further investigation, I finally located the listing of that seller on Amazon. From the customer reviews, I found many discussions related to our brand as well as negative comments.

It is obvious that this seller understands Amazon’s policies and has removed all our brand information from the product images and description.

I then purchased the product from this listing using my own account. Upon receipt, I found that the actual product was completely inconsistent with the images shown on the listing. Specifically, both the physical product and the user manual are printed with our brand logo and brand name, and the product is of poor and inferior quality.

This behavior has seriously damaged our brand image and misled customers into believing that this seller’s products are endorsed by our brand.

I immediately reported this seller through Brand Support, but I have only received automated robot replies stating the following:

“Using trademarks or brand names to show compatibility of a product with such a brand is not a violation of Amazon intellectual property policy. If a product is listed as compatible with a brand-name product, and the product detail page clearly states the product is compatible with the trademarked product, Amazon will not take action on the notice.”

I would like to request assistance from a high-authority human Amazon support agent to help resolve this issue.

Please also advise whether this behavior violates Amazon’s brand policy.

My Brand Support case number: 19856669271

Amazon seems like its increasingly become an awful place to do business, it feels impossible to get a brand approval!

I bought from Moleskine themselves & submitted what they provided me to Amazon, I showed a photo of the web invoice & circled all the parts that Amazon lists as a requirement. Despite that, Amazon still denies me time & time again. I'm resubmitted this like 20 times.

Like I am actually on the verge of going insane, this is utter bull**** & feels so anti-competitive & monopolistic. Amazon is killing independent seller competition on the platform & its resulting in higher prices for consumers. I followed all Amazon's rules & purchased products directly from the source. There is no justifiable reason why Amazon should be denying me.

If I'm not approved I'll be filing reports to multiple government agencies about this anti-competitive behavior. Amazon should not be allowed to receive the protections of being a "third party service provider" while simultaneously having such harsh approval requirements. I will argue to regulators that Amazon by requiring approvals should be treated as a publisher & be held completely liable for anything sold on the platform because this is bull****! I shouldn't have to beg & plead with the approvals team just for a chance to make money online. Especially when Amazon uses us independent sellers as a legal crutch to absolve themselves from liability.

Amazon shouldn't get it both ways. Either a free & open platform or a locked down platform with absolute legal liability, not this anti-competitive middle ground where Amazon gets to screw over everyone while facing no consequences.
