Very FEW product manufacturers track these unauthorized sellers. Amazon should require the store name to MATCH the llc/corp name and they should require a US registered agent to be publicly displayed as well.
Source: I actively manage about 30 different vendor/seller accounts as a consultant. Tracking sellers is a fools errand.
- tomschlick 5y agoThat's absolutely false in my experience. I can't speak for who I worked for or our large client list, but there were quite a few fortune 50/100 companies in there, and many many others monitoring MAP and unauthorized sellers. Tooling to track down unauthorized sellers was one of the top features that was requested and used. You'll often see sites like Amazon match the pricing of a smaller unauthorized seller. Amazon's response to a MAP enforcement email in that case is when you stop the other guy, we will go back to MAP. So it is very important to stay on top of those sellers.
- IG_Semmelweiss 5y agoYou are both correct Parent is right. Small manuf / authorized resellers get shafted and have no resources to do this sort of audit work. Fortune 500 have tight integrations with partners and proper controls in place to identify where the leaks are and to address them. Amazon opening up names of sellers will help parricularly small firms that dont have the sophisticated means that large fortune500 firms have to root out unauthorized sellers
