Sigh.

What could possibly go wrong?

This actually sounds about right. If there’s no brand registry owner (eg, an authoritative party) to say what’s correct, then the detail page is basically a mish mash of what all the sellers submitted to it.

Amazon can’t force a brand to register and maintain the detail pages. It’s up to the brand owner if they want their brand poorly reflected in this way.

I mean the problem as a reseller is that anyone can post something that isn’t the product and just because you are not the brand owner you can’t change it, which sucks

Being a reseller on a non brand owner managed detail page (or incompetent / uncaring brand owner) is a nightmare in general. Things get messed up (sometimes intentionally) and it’s almost impossible to fix it.

Just another tool for hijackers to exploit.

Effective January 31, product detail pages for hardlines product types may display images from multiple selling partners to help customers make informed purchase decisions.

Each product detail page should have at least three required images: one with the product on a white background, one with the product in an environment, and one with size and fit information.

Previously, product detail pages displayed images from one selling partner.

With this change, if required images are missing from the product detail page, images from multiple selling partners or Amazon will be added when available.

To remove an incorrect image, contact Selling Partner Support.

To learn more about image requirements, how to add an image, and how to troubleshoot potential issues go to:

Anyone know what “hardlines product types” are?

Hi @Dogtamer and @Chimanimani, I merged these threads, moved to Amazon Announcements, and retitled for discoverability in search.

From my NSFE post …

The term “hardlines” in retail pertains to durable and non-consumable goods, typically characterized by their longer lifespans and tangible nature. These products, often used repeatedly by consumers, include items such as appliances, automotive parts, sporting goods, and electronics.

No doubt the “Hardline Product” brand is liking this.

Would books then be considered “hardline”?

Not normally. But it is Amazon.

Well, at least not paperbacks, but the BOTS would see the term “hard cover” and automatically transform it… :grimacing: :grimacing: :grimacing:
