hi and welcome back to another amazon selling video if you're new to my channel my name
is nikki kirk and today i'm going to walk you through ip alert iplr is a chrome extension which
members of the volo group were asking me about and i had never actually heard of it or used it
so i went ahead and reached out to them they set me up with a one of their better offers because
i was like listen i don't really need to make any money on it i just want to help other people save
to be able to use the extension so you can get 30 off with the code nikki if you want to check
it out and i will walk you through how i'm using it so you can see if it's worth it for you so ip
complaints are one of the most frequently asked questions that i get like should you be worried
about them how worried people are asking me about specific brands and i have to honestly say that i
don't think about it that often at all and now that i have iplr it makes it so much easier and
i really don't think about it it's not something you really need to worry about you probably don't
need another reason to like stop or not want to sell on amazon so don't let that be one of them
it is not that big a concern i'm telling you from experience when i first started selling on amazon
a couple of months into it i got my first ip complaint from amazon i didn't know what it was
i think it might have been counterfeit counterfeit ip they're interchangeable
basically the same thing i had been given a phone case and so i just didn't need it so i went ahead
and sold it on amazon or was trying to anyways and i got an alert that said you can't sell this and i
was naive i didn't know that you actually have to respond to amazon so i did nothing and then i got
another one this one was from an item argon magic you might find it at tj maxx don't buy that brand
so i got one for argon magic right afterwards and two if you do not respond shut down my account got
shut down deactivated it was a full stressful two days but i was able to give them a plan of
action and get it back all on my own if you're in the bolo group there's a really good plan of
action that is shared in the files section of the facebook group so definitely check that out
if you need it save it for later whatever but while it was super stressful being shut down
i was able to get my account back and learned and what i learned is you have to respond to amazon
if it comes directly from amazon you must respond i delete the item right away i delete the listing
i respond i tell them i don't want to sell it anymore here's my receipts and all of that
i hadn't had one since that first year until recently so i got one from luestra or whatever
it is i'll pull it up here in a second they are also at t.j maxx and marshalls and don't be fooled
do not buy that not only have i gotten one but other members of the bolo group also got one from
for the same brand from amazon directly i didn't get shut down because i emailed amazon back told
them my plan of action sent to my receipts and they're like okay and it's off of my account so
it's not the end of the world you guys you just do have to take it very seriously when it happens
if you get letters from brands that's a whole other story you got to do what you want to do
on that personally i don't respond i hit no response needed and then i will just price to move
the inventory if they really want to do it the correct way they should be going through amazon
so that's how that's my attitude towards it i'm just me i'm not a professional that's just how i
do it so do what you want to do for your business obviously don't just listen to me you got to do
what's right for you all right so let's just pull up some listings to see how the ip alert works and
what it looks like so obviously you're not going to know until you get it home but let me tell you
that doesn't mean anything because i'll show you this one where i got a three alarm bell i didn't
even know that was a thing i thought there was one and two there was three and so you know what i did
i took that thing right back to walmart because i wasn't gonna try and sell a three alarm ip alert
so how you'll see it come up is when you're just putting your listing in and you know i go to the
product page to see what it's selling at to make my skus and all that so when you're on the product
page once you have the chrome extension on your chrome browser it takes a little bit to load but
i have my rev seller box and then all of a sudden it will tell you boom ip alert three alarms you
can see them right here so i was like i'm not even gonna try and mess with that and i just
took it back to walmart so you'll know beforehand you don't have to ship it in that is how the ipl
alert works there's one alarm two alarm and three alarm so now here's another one that i've seen
it come up on and now you see here we've got one alarm bell ip alert you know what i've sold this
product and nothing happened so a lot of the one alarms i'm not super worried about it's like maybe
something to think about but if it's too alarm then i gotta really consider it and three alarm
i don't even try so that's what it would look like if it was just one alarm bell so here's
what the brand looks like don't be fooled if you see that ross or marshalls do not buy it do not
buy it do not buy it while this loads a question is like what how do you know or how can you make
sure you don't get these and honestly it's so much more brain power to worry about it than it is to
actually deal with them if they do happen because they don't really happen that often things you can
look for if you want is like this one it looks like there's only one seller and it's probably
the brand if it's only one seller on it and they're both fba and fbm is the same seller and
it's the brand and it's only that that's something to think about it usually only happens with beauty
so there's that also but if you are worried ip alert chrome extension is really helpful the link
is below where it has the automatic coupon applied or you can just go to the ip alert extension and
use code nikki and ikki and save 30 off it's a one-time fee you don't have to pay like annual
or anything it's just one-time fee and you have the extension and so now this is what it would
look like if it's perfectly fine you got a green light ready to go i hope this video was helpful if
you guys need any help getting ungated or want to join the bolo group all the links are below
