The problem

On 8 August 2024 one Amazon US store had 5,275 listings flagged for suspected intellectual property violations. Every row gave the same reason, design right misuse, and every listing was at risk of removal, with issues to be addressed by 9 August. Amazon's notice of 7 August said the listings were at risk of deactivation. On 25 September a second store showed 1,252 flags for the same design right.

What we did

We worked through the flags on each store and checked the Account Health page and the flagged list, with the screen clock, until both read zero.

The result

Store one went from 5,275 at 3:20 pm on 8 August to 0 at 2:21 pm on 26 August, about 18 days, with every line shown on the Account Health panel at 0. Store two went from 1,252 at 2:08 pm on 25 September to 0 at 1:08 pm on 2 October, under 7 days. Both lists read "Zero policy violation warnings".
