Since most of the cargo containers of north face gear on "clearance" are actually fake product, believe it or not they can absolutely shut you down.

We really need to call out these types of scammers better. Nothing you can do to stop me selling my crap fake "Apple" charges on amazon (amazon should be doing a much better job screening), my "ecommerce store" that is experiencing "fraudulant transactions" == trying to scam users by not shipping anything, too I bought a container of "north face" gear from china and there is nothing you can do to stop me.

In all these cases, the seller had a reasonable ability to think - hey, this is probably a fraud and stop doing what they are doing.

Seriously, for reputation reasons North Face and many other brand retailers do not sell containers of product on "clearance" to rando third party retailers.. Some even destroy amazing amounts of product to avoid to entering into this scammy reseller chain.

You’re moving the goal posts. Counterfeit goods, entirely legal to shut down the sale of. Authentic goods, you cannot. It’s up to the brand to prove they’re not authentic goods being sold and pursue the necessary channels to shut the seller down.

Says the scammers. You are willfully ignorant here.

Your post did not consider the high likelihood that a container of product on "clearance" from north face is counterfeit.

My point is simple. We have to have less tolerance of the willful ignorance by scammers. The brand should not need to pursue this.

Stipe / Atlas CAN and SHOULD shut down merchants who exhibit characteristics of fraud. Amazon should shut down the fake apple product sellers.

And yes, my job interects with fraud / ripoff detection, and I've worked with folks like you. My advice to folks in business and elsewhere, someone that willfully ignorant is not someone you want to do business with.

I’m not willfully ignorant. The regulation you want to exist (brand gating) does not exist in US law. You must not seek brand approval to sell their goods. You’re attempting to spread misinformation because (it appears) you have an axe to grind.
