All store listings were removed! Sellers suffered heavy losses from being spoofed by their peers

At present, there are more and more sellers on Amazon, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce. There are endless incidents of pranks and vicious competition from peers. As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, and the cross-border e-commerce industry is even more of a war without gun smoke. If you are not careful, you will be attacked by the dark hand. Many sellers have also encountered peer copycat sales, prank listings, malicious bad reviews, and patent preemption ...

Last week, Yien reported on sellers being maliciously copied and their product links being removed from the shelves. Recently, the editor found that many sellers complained that they were spoofed by their peers and had their patents registered.

An Amazon seller said that his products were doing well, but they were accidentally taken down by his competitors, and all the product listings in his store were removed.

Here's what happened. Because the seller's product was doing well, a competitor registered the graphic appearance of the seller's product . After the seller filed the first complaint of infringement and extorted a certain fee, the competitor filed a second complaint, causing all of the seller's products to be removed from the shelves , and then extorted more money .

This behavior is shameful. Coincidentally, the same thing happened to a seller in May last year. The store suddenly received a complaint about the infringement of product appearance and removed dozens of product listings .

After investigation, it was found that the seller was also preemptively patented by his peers. The product, which was sold in 2017, was preemptively registered for the appearance patent in 2019. He received crazy complaints from his competitors and suffered heavy losses.

The experiences of these sellers are really tragic. They made products honestly but were ridiculed by others. However, some people said without any sympathy that they dug a hole for themselves by not registering patents for the products they sold for so long. They just deserved it .

Therefore, while we despise the shameless behavior of vicious competition among our peers, we must also be careful not to leave opportunities for those with bad intentions. It is a good idea to register our own patents as soon as possible and make full preparations.

Recently, Amazon has blocked a large number of Chinese sellers, including some big sellers. While Amazon is cracking down on Chinese sellers, Chinese sellers have not united and are still fighting among themselves. For Chinese sellers, in addition to making money, they also need to unite and bring Chinese products to the world.
