Selling a generic product that is branded by another seller
I'm new to Seller Central. My question is, can I list a generic product as "generic" if someone else has that same product branded? I don't want to violate any rules, but I'm still unclear on how that process works. Thanks in advance for advice.

Unfortunately, you cannot do so as that would be a listing violation. I understand that there a many people that do the same thing but its still a violation. Your listing would be at risk of removal at any given moment and your account would suffer the violation notice. Too many of those and your account gets suspended.

Hello @Seller_fybtcPq8UmuUp,
Welcome to selling on Amazon! As @Seller_NbYSGJ8Tehgbvmentioned, you will be at risk of a violation if listing a product as generic if the same product is branded. You'll find information on this in the Error message related to Amazon Generic Product policy help page. As explained, you cannot create a product listing with the brand value "generic" that infringes on the Intellectual Property (IP) of a brand. Using another brand’s IP in your generic product listing, or listing a branded product as generic, are violations of our listing policies. For more information, go to Amazon Brand Name Policy and Amazon Intellectual Property Policy.
Thanks for your understanding and have a great day.
