Getting
suspended on Amazon can be a daunting prospect for Sellers, especially those
new to the platform. There are a number of avenues available to get yourself
back online, one of which is employing an Amazon Seller Lawyer.
Any
mention of a lawyer can faze some people, but there are undoubted benefits to
hiring an Amazon Seller Lawyer, particularly if it is to deal with an issue you
are entirely unfamiliar with. Amazon Seller Lawyers are experienced in dealing
with a wide variety of suspensions on the site, and that expertise can be
invaluable to the uninitiated.
Craig
Gedey is the managing partner of Thompson and Holt, a company that specialises
in getting Amazon Sellers back online as quickly as possible if they have been
suspended. He explains: “Life as an Amazon
Seller could have started perfectly. The sheer scale of the site means that
there are now significant opportunities for businesses to sell either their
product, or others’, to a huge
marketplace across the world.
“But Amazon can also
be an intimidating place if you are unfamiliar with its rules and regulations,
and there can also be times when you become suspended without knowingly doing
anything wrong. Because Amazon is so focused on providing a good service for
consumers, at times Amazon Sellers can get caught up in their systems despite
trying to operate in the correct manner.
“That is when Amazon
Seller Lawyers can come into their own. Amazon Seller Lawyers are well versed
in the website’s often complicated
processes, and know exactly what information is required to get your business
back selling online as quickly as possible. A good Amazon Seller Lawyer can
deal with whatever issue you have encountered in a relatively short period of
time, because with online sales, time is of the essence and being offline for
any extended period of time can be very damaging for your business.
“There are lots of
Amazon Seller Lawyers available online, which can also be confusing to those
approaching them for the first time. Take your time to visit their websites and
read whatever reviews are available for their respective companies - don’t just jump into
hiring the first Amazon Seller Lawyer you stumble across after a quick search.”
The
kind of issues that an Amazon Seller Lawyer can help you with include
Intellectual Property Violations, Start Up and Company Formations, Negotiations
with competitors and Legal Reports.
Gedey
adds: “But it is also
important to note that you don’t
always need an Amazon Seller Lawyer to get you reinstated following a
suspension on the website. Most of the time an Amazon Consultant such as
Thompson and Holt can resolve the issue for you, possibly saving you thousands
of dollars.
“The cost of an
Amazon Seller Lawyer is always going to be a factor for companies, especially
those that have just started up. Again, do your research online into the
various cost of each Amazon Seller Lawyer, and read through the experience of
some Amazon forums as well if that helps.
“It may be that a
consultancy such as Thompson and Holt can help with your particular issue, and
it’s advisable to
contact them first because they will have a clear understanding of your
situation, whatever that may be. They are also able to recommend trusted Amazon
Seller Lawyers if that is the route you ultimately have to take to get your
online business selling again in the quickest possible time.”
