Amazon Marketplace - Cancelled listing

sarahb

Does anyone have any ideas why my listing for this item has been cancelled (other than it being slightly cheaper than the current lowest price) ?

This is the e-mail I had from Amazon :

I have e-mailed the other party who doesn't appear to be selling them on Amazon themselves but does sell on their own baby/ nursery website. I have asked what the issue is and pointed out the other 10 seller's listings but don't really expect to receive a response - any other ideas please ?

I expect it is to do with whether you are an authorised reseller of the brand. Some brands can be stuffy about this, especially if you are undercutting prices. They may see it as devaluing their brand. I am probably wrong though!

Bizarrely the other party has just been in touch - they are the UK distributor and trying to tackle counterfeit sales on Amazon Marketplace. The lady who called me was very nice and has agreed to allow me to relist the item.
