Performance Violation for Copyright Misuse – But I'm Only Selling a Custom Accessory, Not the Toy!

Hi everyone,

I'm feeling quite frustrated and confused. One of my listings was recently removed by Amazon due to a performance violation labeled as "image copyright misuse." However, I was not selling the toy shown in the image — I was selling a protective case specifically designed for that toy.

To clarify, I only used the toy in the images as a display example to demonstrate how the case fits and looks when in use. I didn’t claim to sell the toy itself, and to further avoid any misunderstanding, I even blurred the toy’s face in the product images. Despite these efforts, my listing was still removed and I received a performance strike.

What’s worse is that there's no clear appeal option available for this type of violation. I’m selling a completely original accessory, and the toy is used only to show compatibility and sizing.

Has anyone dealt with this before? How can I appeal or get Amazon to review this situation properly?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Did you have rights legally to use that image? Blurring a part of a copyrighted image doesn't automatically give you the right to use the image...
