So I tried to sell a Microsoft Xbox One on Amazon once, and it required me to verify that I am an authorized reseller. Why don't they just do this for every merchant selling any brand?

Maybe Amazon have some special relationships with Microsoft, Sony and some other corporations.

  Ya, the special relationship is that if Amazon doesn't take action, said corporations will bring massive lawsuits that Amazon will loose. Amazon Corp bots make financial decision that blocking unauthorized sellers is cheaper than fighting lawsuits.

  Most likely because Microsoft begged Amazon to block the unauthorized re-sale.
