Single mother at the end of her rope, her last hope was snuffed out (complaints against second-hand items removed from shelves)

Single mother at the end of her rope, her last hope was snuffed out (complaints against second-hand items removed from shelves)
I am a single mother. I invested all my belongings in Amazon in June 2019 and only made one product. After the Spring Festival in 2020, the product started to slowly pick up, and now we have 100 orders per day. But on July 11, the listing was suddenly removed from the shelves due to second-hand complaints. I panicked, and then I checked some information on the forum, used someone else’s template and modified it, and then asked the factory for a stamped receipt and business license. I sent an email to Amazon that day (I didn’t find a service provider to save money, and the forum said it was easy), and then I received an email from Amazon that day saying that my appeal was not approved.
Here are the highlights:
In order to get my account unblocked as soon as possible, I contacted a service provider I had worked with before, but she didn’t have a second-hand appeal service (her Moments were always likes and QA services). I thought the service providers must know each other, so I asked her to help me with the process. The operation fee was 3,000 yuan, and she would charge me after the application was approved. However, I waited for a week and nothing happened. The service provider said that all the emails she sent would be deleted. The key point is that Amazon would reply to me even if the application was not approved. I wasted a week like this.
Looking at more than 3,000 products, I felt that I couldn’t give up my previous listings. At this time, I asked service providers in major forums and WeChat groups for help (the moderator who knows everything deleted my post for help, and I don’t know why, haha). Then someone in the WeChat group told me that she had been complained about second-hand products before and later found a service provider to unblock her. I felt like I had found a life-saving straw, so I quickly asked her to recommend it to me. Later, I placed an order through the Taobao store. After the service provider added my WeChat, he helped me find a technician and told me that it would be unblocked within 15 days. Then I received 2 emails on July 23 and July 29 respectively. The first one was that the appeal failed, and the second one directly told me "
Dear Seller, Hello! We received the information you submitted, but it is not sufficient to reinstate your products at this time. Why am I receiving this email? We previously requested additional information from you, but you have not yet provided it. We are requesting this information to address a complaint that your product appears to be used. Due to privacy considerations, we cannot provide details about our investigation methodology. What happens now? Your listings will remain inactive, and we will no longer respond to emails regarding this issue. If we continue to receive complaints about your products, we may deactivate your Amazon seller account. "
Is there still hope for me?
Don't you service providers have any conscience? After your appeal failed, you refused to provide me with the email I wrote and blocked me. Are you really trying to drive me to death?

The above is the story of a seller who knows everything.

The following is a suggestion given by a well-known blogger. If you encounter the above situation, you can refer to it.

Complaint suggestions for a single mother who was complained about second-hand sales:

It is recommended to prepare two sets of plans.
Plan A: If the listing is just removed from the shelves but not turned into a dog, then quickly move the warehouse, re-label it, and follow the new account to sell it. If it turns into a dog, also move the warehouse, create a new link and promote it again.
plan B: This account continues to appeal.

Appeal logic:
1. Check the reasons and identify the problem orders and all potential problem orders.
a. In the "Inventory and Sales Report", find the "Buyer Offers" column, click "Amazon Logistics Buyer Returns", and download and analyze all the return reasons for this listing. If there are a lot of "defective" return reasons, you need to check if there is a problem with your packaging. At the same time, sort out all these order numbers and put them in the POA later.
b. In the feedback, find the relevant orders with negative reviews. Organize them all and put them in the POA later.
c. Check if the ODR is too high and explain the reason in the POA.

2. Appeal Procedure
a. Prepare the information according to Amazon's email notification.
The supplier's purchase invoice must be authentic and verifiable. It is best to prepare an additional stamped supplier's shipping details list with product photos before you put your listing on the shelf.
It is also recommended to attach a screenshot of the purchase chat, as well as the order number, supplier store or product 1688 link URL, etc. The more detailed the better, for Amazon to verify.
Product packaging pictures, 360-degree shooting and upload.
b. Contents of the complaint.
Format: Purpose of complaint - Attitude - Improvement measures - Preventive measures
