Fighting False Counterfeit Complaints on Amazon
Amanda is a successful Amazon seller specializing in premium home goods. Recently, she was blindsided by multiple false counterfeit complaints from major brands. The truth? Her products were 100% authentic, purchased from legitimate wholesalers.
Amazon’s automated enforcement system suspended her account immediately, and her revenue plummeted—thousands of dollars in daily sales vanished overnight.
Searching desperately for help, Amanda found Amazon Sellers Lawyer. There, she learned about two powerful legal tools that can protect sellers like her:
-
Defamation Per Se – Holding brands accountable for false and damaging statements.
-
Tortious Interference with Contract – Protecting your right to do business by stopping unlawful interference.
Amanda realized she might not only get her account reinstated, but also recover damages from the brands that wrongfully accused her.
