Sean (@SeanEcom on X, formerly Twitter), a seller who has generated over $50 million in sales on Amazon, shared his frustration with the e-commerce giant's apparent disregard for intellectual property rights and small businesses. Sean, who owns a successful Shopify store generating over $100 million, claims Amazon is now a "broken mess" that prioritizes ad revenue over seller protection and product authenticity.
Sean details his struggles to enforce his design patents and trademarks on the platform, with Amazon allegedly telling him to "stop contacting" them about infringements. He argues that Amazon's marketplace is flooded with knockoffs, counterfeits, and low-quality products from overseas sellers, all while the company focuses on maximizing ad revenue.
The seller criticizes Amazon's reluctance to make decisive actions against counterfeiters, suggesting that the company could clean up its marketplace in just two days if it wanted to. Sean's experience highlights the growing tension between Amazon and its high-value sellers, raising questions about the future of the platform's business model and its impact on legitimate brands.
