IP Alerts – New Amazon Tool Ideal for Drop Shippers and Retail Arbitrage
Intellectual Property violations are a common problem with most Amazon Sellers but especially Drop Shippers who use Amazon as their platform to sell items. Most drop shippers will have experienced an Amazon account or ASIN suspension or at the very least an IP policy violation. All of these are extremely annoying and time consuming to deal with, especially if you have to contact the Rights Owner to retract the complaint.
Here at Thompson and Holt we have been working with IP-alerts.com to create the perfect real time tool to help Amazon Sellers who are at risk of IP violations. The software is free for the first 14 days and then a fixed fee of £25/$30 per month with no cap on ASINs monitored. To sign up simply visit https://ip-alerts.com/ and click the sign up button.

"IP Alerts Saves Time and Prevents Issues snowballing"
IP Alerts automatically reviews your ASINs and checks against a database of brands which are known to cause problems for Amazon Sellers. The software instantly alerts the Sellers of any keywords in the listings that could cause a violation, suspension or even worse being sued by a big brands lawyers. It can sound far fetched but recently we have seen court action taken against Amazon sellers by some large brands.
The IP-Alert dashboard is simple and easy to navigate, it basically tells you which of your ASINs are at risk and what you should do with them, if you have Rights to sell the brand then that’s perfect you can choose to ignore the alert.
The database is instantly updated when any Sellers receive an IP violation, this acts as a great early warning system for all Sellers on the platform. Another great feature is for Sellers who sell in multiple marketplaces for example Europe and North America. The alerts are specific for each Country and with over 200,000,000 ASINs monitored and updated daily, you can be sure that your listings will be covered.
