Ok, as someone who has been doxxed, gonna clean up this thread a little.
The op in this case is a butt munch no question, but remember posting PII isn’t something we do here (unless it’s Kate’s LinkedIn, lol)
Yep, I get it, it’s all on google! And I’m so someone who dives down these rabbit holes when someone like this appears, so trust me I hear you!
With how litigious some people are in this world today, the cleanup is more about protecting each other here.

There’s a reason why I archive everything I see, but keep my cards closely-tucked up to my vest.

That sounds like an amazing way to get yourself and your family banned from selling.
The bark on this man is way worse then his bite. I would recommend everyone do what I was told to do with FS, ignore the troll.

Ignore, yes. But the entertainment value is there.

Amazing. Isn’t there some saying about throwing stones and glass houses?
Would be great if that post along with a link to his storefront went viral. Would like to see how he reacts to a bunch of “legitimate” complaints being filed against him. Funny thing is all those complaints WOULD actually be truthful and legitimate, as the products actually do state Not for sale on Amazon.com
I take less issue with that text being on the label, and more so with the fact that the seller(s) on those listings are actively concealing that fact and misleading people. Not one listing I looked at shows a picture of the part of the label with that text, and there’s multiple reviews showing a seller actively attempting to conceal that text.

I mean all those complaints would just kill the asin, and it would lock him out also

The idea of these idiots attacking each other is pretty funny. It would probably end up getting all of them shut down if it actually happened.

I mean it’s a path to cleaning up the marketplace if Amazon won’t take action!

They probably won’t. The math doesn’t make sense for them to take any action.
Based on the “Not for sale on Amazon.com” text, it’s readily apparent that the brand owner has no interest in doing business with Amazon. Thus, the potential revenue for Amazon for working with the brand owner is zero.
Allowing these listings to stay up generates some kind of revenue and profit for Amazon. When a customer does complain, they can refund the customer out of the seller’s pocket (and collect a refund administration fee).

All of this and the tread has never made it to the seller central home page widget as one of the 3 featured posts …
Some Amazonian has it suppressed but it hasn’t stopped

Unless the manufacturer sells on Amazon and wants no competitors. They would then have their own labels for Amazon

That’s not the case here:
They do not even sell direct to consumer on their own website.
Also I do not see any “legitimate” listings for their brand on Amazon, just ones labeled not for sale.

Sorta; Skunklabs is in the SPN (“Service Partner Network”), offering services similar to those shown on their website:

On one hand, I would think that this sort of action (ie., “Fraud”) might result in some legal action. But since all of the “victims” are likewise scammers, perhaps he’ll get away with it.
What would be really funny is if one of his competitors comes up with the same idea; they keep shipping each other the same “free” inventory.

The more I learn about this industry and the people in it, the more likely I am to pay more to get a reputable brand from a reputable brick and mortar storefront.

In my opinion any issue with an order on one of these ASINs is seller faulted. Even if the buyer placed the order with the intention of causing a problem, it’s still seller faulted because they’re on the listing knowing full well that they’re deceiving buyers by having that offer active.
If a customer makes a complaint that the product says not for sale on Amazon there’s no situation where that claim is fraudulent simply because they’re stating the truth.

Yes, another way of saying “thieves stealing from thieves”.
Hopefully they’ll go around and around until the Amazon fees make them all broke! (or the brand sues them)
