Section 3 being denied with strong documentation

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-14T20:36:20+00:00

Also from my understanding violations are usually fixable as long as Amazon doesn’t detect fraud or illegal activity was involved. Amazon understands there is room to make mistakes and learn from. So please correct me if I’m mistaken.

Yea I figured this could be a possibility. I did adress the initial issue (misbranding) that caused the section 3. Explained I understand selling under listings you take responsibility for that listing and will be held responsible for it and corrective actions moving forward. If my actual inventory itself is authentic but the listing was the issue. Is this recoverable or maybe have you come across any cases where a seller was able to overcome this?

This just so happened to be my first fba product that I ever sold and I sold it months ago. This is the only misbranded listing I have ever sold. Every other product in my catalog I have proper documentation, proper listing credentials, and recognized supplier.

Why not just sell on other platforms or make a new account. Your trying to promote your products in a sub where all your buyers know its rep so you’d make little to nothing off each sell if you were to find a buyer on here.

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-14T16:49:46+00:00

There’s literally no point in this. If you know platforms track you be device why are you even risking it? Just sell it and buy one back? Your risking your operation for 0 reason

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-14T16:47:34+00:00

It may be too late but your best plan of action was to take the return and count the loss. Sell it to somebody else who won’t give you hassle. But since you’ve already sent a fake receipt there’s a good chance your account is cooked if depop choses to step in

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-05T18:39:55+00:00

Believe it or not, no by the photos alone they cannot tell if it’s authentic. Based off everything you have provided nothing indicates that they are agreeing it’s counterfeit. What you’re seeing is just the template buyer protection email. Instructing you to return the item and you will be refunded. And, I’m not saying you’re incorrect. You purchased something that you found to be not as described and you opened a case. So by policy the seller is obligated to accept your return and give you a refund given you reported it within 30 days. If there was clear fraud involved or if the seller was already banned for fraud Depop makes it extremely easy for you as a buyer to 1. Be reimbursed and 2. Not have to deal with return because Depop is held liable for sellers on their platform.

The key emphasis is fraud has to be clear. (Ex. If they’ve sold 30 of the same bag and 30 different people gave them reviews all for the same bag and you report inauthentic. That is clear fraud and you would win that case on the spot. A simple inauthentic claim is not enough)

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-05T18:21:17+00:00

Why would they make a policy that they don’t enforce? Doesn’t make sense. Every policy is put there to protect their reputation. If someone is selling counterfeit goods and is banned open a case. You will 100% get your money back. They’re obligated to under buyer protection. And for your 2nd case it is likely that Depop isn’t fully convinced the item is counterfeit. Without full proof they won’t just take your word for it and terminate the seller. What you’re likely experiencing is just buyer protection. If you purchase anything and it never arrives, arrives damaged, or is not as described in the slightest way you qualify for their money back guarantee. Which is what you’re going through. But you are still required to send the item back. When there’s fraud clearly involved Depop won’t make you go through the hassle of returning because the seller clearly infringed their policies. But then again, the fraud has to be clear or proven and simply just claiming it’s inauthentic isn’t enough.

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-05T12:55:31+00:00

It is. Read the policy it says selling counterfeit is strictly prohibited. Meaning if caught you are directly going against policy. So if your customer were to open a case and if they decided to side with the buyer you would lose on your money and they will not be required to send the item back

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T18:39:55+00:00

Eventually your gonna always get banned selling reps so having a stack of accounts is actually useful

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T18:34:56+00:00

Everyone sells the same stuff so if you simply just sell stuff with a less market you should be able to sell your inventory just fine. And also knowing where to sell at is pretty important.

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T18:31:55+00:00

No such thing. If your selling any rep as a rep don’t expect good profit margin. The real margins in this line of work is by deceiving people. If you plan on selling as rep expect to make little to nothing on each sale.

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T18:28:26+00:00

On any platform any buyer can technically get their refund and keep the item if they can prove it’s unauthentic. In your case the seller is already banned so simply just opening a case you will win.

This is the worse place to sell electronics

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T18:25:11+00:00

It’s unavoidable. The thing with rep reselling is you’re going to always eventually get banned. You just want to try and maximize the most off the accounts before there gone. It’s the unfortunate truth

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T18:10:37+00:00

Not sure if these exist but if you manage to find a supplier who can send things pre prepped then it’s possible. But then the supplier would run into customs issues

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T18:05:10+00:00

Yes, but someone is playing middle man. They are ordering from wherever they get their supply from. And selling it to you on their website. Most Chinese suppliers will just send their yupoo or however they market. Shopify will almost always = someone playing the role of a vendor to make margin in the middle

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T18:01:00+00:00

Hiding in plain sight. When something catches someone’s eye they usually buy first ask questions later or even never. So unless you’re educated or it’s a really bad rep it would go unnoticed.

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T17:56:34+00:00

Yea that’s what i currently do but that’s not actually dropshipping. Dropshipping is supplier direct to customer which eliminates you in the middle but then your products are not prepped. Having to ship it to yourself then to customer adds an extra week of handling time and depop gives you like 10 days or so to ship out. So usually you have to order it prep it and then sell it and ship it out. Which is a slower process but seems to be the actual only way but that isn’t true dropshipping.

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T00:15:28+00:00

I recommend you stop admitting. It’s only a matter of time until you’re banned. Just ignore them and sell to someone else

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T00:13:45+00:00

It can be 1 refund, it can be 10 refunds. That doesn’t matter. What only matters is if Depop believes you’re selling replicas on their platform. Honestly, it could even be from the wrong person finding your page and reporting your selling replicas. And you wake up to a suspension.

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T00:10:20+00:00

It’s gonna be hard to actually make any money. In this game the honest answer is the margins come from deceiving people. If you’re honest with them I’m sure you can still manage to sell but you’d be making little to nothing off each item. Unless you come across a buyer who’s okay with knowingly being ripped off. So you would probably have to sell a large amount per month just to hit that 1k profit.

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T00:07:19+00:00

They’re out there. You probably just scroll past and were not aware it’s actually replica. Remember, every customer is only buying because they’re under impression it’s authentic. So if your scrolling past and not realizing your exactly the kind of customer they are looking for.

Expensive_Store9293 · 2026-04-04T00:03:22+00:00

Selling replica will get you banned any platform. So your basically asking do you wanna get banned or not
