What Is Copyright Infringement on Amazon?

Copyright infringement on Amazon occurs when a seller uses protected content—such as images, text, product manuals, videos, or logos—without the original creator’s permission.

This type of Intellectual Property (IP) violation can lead to:

  • Listing suppression

  • Account suspension

  • Legal consequences

  • Permanent bans from Amazon

Common Examples of Copyright Infringement on Amazon

  • Using product images copied from a competitor’s listing

  • Duplicating product descriptions or bullet points

  • Uploading copyrighted instruction manuals or ebooks

  • Using logos, brand banners, or marketing videos without permission

  • Selling copyrighted media (books, software, music) without rights

What Happens If You Violate Copyright on Amazon?

When Amazon receives a valid copyright complaint:

  • Your listing may be immediately removed

  • You may receive a performance notification

  • Repeat violations can lead to account deactivation

  • You may be required to submit a Plan of Action (POA)
