Or more to the point, you cannot claim they are being sold directly from the manufacturer.

Sure, but even if you're openly a reseller, Amazon doesn't have to let you on their platform.

They could say "we'll only let Apple sell Apple products here".

  • I think it would be challenging to keep track of who the original trademark owner is for every single item and creating a system for them to prove it. There are hundreds of thousands of businesses with thousands of products. And sometimes companies re-brand their products, or buy other companies, etc, etc. Or sometimes the original vendor doesn't ship in a particular country, its always through a distributor, etc, etc.
