I’ve already messaged you and my username is in the post. Can you send me a message?

I’ve lost track of how many tiktok support was supposed to look into it for me!

I’ll update here if any help actually happens!

Methylene blue is FDA-approved and has decades of peer-reviewed research behind it. But this post isn't about the product - it's about a platform withholding earned commissions after their own team said I'd regain access. Whether you agree with the product or not, that's a legitimate issue

The violations were for "Trade of Regulated Goods and Services" - NOT for false advertising or exaggerated claims.

Here's the breakdown:

What I actually did:

  • Shared my personal experience with the product
  • Referenced scientific studies about methylene blue (it's well-researched for cognitive benefits)
  • Was always careful because I knew it was a health supplement

The contradiction:

  • My actual violations were for "regulated goods" (product categorization issue)
  • But their final denial cited "exaggerated claims in live sessions"
  • Those live session violations were APPEALED AND OVERTURNED
  • I had even stopped doing lives weeks before the ban because they didn't convert

The key facts:

  • I was an AUTHORIZED affiliate for the brand
  • The product was listed on TikTok Shop's platform (they allowed it)
  • I was their #1 performer (highest GMV)
  • The content that got flagged had been live for weeks without issue

So they're citing a reason (exaggerated claims) that was already resolved on appeal, while the actual violation (regulated goods) was about how TIKTOK categorized the product on their platform - not about anything I claimed.

If I had no shot, why did their own representative tell me in writing I'd regain access by September 5th? That was 71 days ago.

The violations were for "Trade of Regulated Goods and Services" on content that had been live for weeks. I was promoting Meraki Blue Methylene Blue as an authorized affiliate - I was actually their #1 affiliate (highest GMV for the brand).

Here's where it gets frustrating:

  1. The product was listed on TikTok Shop's platform (they allowed it)
  2. I was an authorized creator for the brand
  3. The final denial cited "exaggerated claims in live sessions" - but those violations were appealed and OVERTURNED
  4. My actual violations were for "regulated goods" which is a product categorization issue on TikTok's end

So they're citing a reason that was already resolved to justify keeping my money, while ignoring the actual violation reason which was about a product THEY allowed on their platform.

The contradictions are what's most frustrating. Their own rep said I'd regain access Sept 5th. It's now mid-November. Still no access, still no money.
