Full question:
Re Amazon.comThis has to do with this company blocking me from a sellers account because of another person that I don't even know made a mistake two or three years ago. I got a job at the same company. Apparently the company is blocked too. The person doen't even work here any more...from what I understand. I am writing to ask if Amazon blocks all my accounts (three in total all my personal accounts) because I work for this company... can they do that. I have thousands of dollars of books I want to sell and can not because I got a job at a school where a person made a mistake, got fired two years ago... This is wrong... I am not that person. These are just two of the emails:I sent a few, the first two or three were not saved as I typed them in on their site. Those letters were with more details... this is my fourth one:Fourth Request:Dear Amazon.comI am bent on getting my accounts reopened for selling texts. My accounts have been blocked because of a person two or three years ago broke your rules. I agree... block that person. I am NOT that person. Yes, I work for the same company. I value my reputation and would never do anything to be blocked from your site. The people in questions don't even work here any longer. It just isn't right... I am respectfully asking that you restore MY good name and allow me to sell text on your site. Sincerely, They sent this letter. Hello from Amazon.com.Thank you for writing.

Answer:
You have yourself personally tried to resolve your delisting dispute with Amazon. Your attempt to get Amazon to rescind its delisting of you as a seller on Amazon.com was unsuccessful and now appears to be permanent. Inasmuch as this is a dispute between private parties your only options may be either: (1) to accept Amazon's delisting and work with other online booksellers, (2) to review your written listing agreement with Amazon, if any, to see if it mandates or authorizes arbitration or mediation of any dispute between the parties, or (3) consult an experienced internet lawyer to determine if you have grounds for a valid claim against Amazon for delisting. The third alternative would be expensive and time-consuming, even if it is feasible. Both the second and third alternates require consulting a knowledgable and experienced lawyer. As between the second and third alternatives, the second is the more reasonable, but neither may be affordable or realistic.
