为了防止被跟卖,卖家注册了商标,又在平台做了 GCID 备案,但就亚马逊平台的现状来说,要想防止被跟卖,仅靠这些是远远不够的。注册商标和做 GCID备案只是防止被跟卖的基本保障。
在实际运营的过程中,总有一些卖家或是新手无知,不熟悉平台规则,或是害群之马,有意抢掠,会在原卖家把商品打造得初有成效时进行跟卖。遇到这种情况,定要在第一时间采取行动,驱赶跟卖者。
驱赶跟卖者的第一步行动就是给跟卖者发警告邮件。在驱赶邮件中,要有理有据地讲述情况并发出警告。下面的邮件模板可供卖家参考。Dear"B".

在上面的邮件模板中,强调了作为商标持有人的权利,并指出了跟卖者的不当行为,同时对这些行为予以警告,要求跟卖者立即停止跟卖以避免由此造成的不良影响
除用英文邮件警告外,考虑到大部分跟卖者是中国卖家,我们还可以用中文邮件进行警告。
