How long does it take for Amazon to pay for copyright infringement? What should I do if I steal pictures and infringe copyright?

Amazon infringement is not intentional for some sellers. Infringement may cause the money in the Amazon account to be frozen and the seller cannot use it. How long can the money frozen due to infringement be withdrawn from the account?

Generally, it takes 90 days for the funds to be transferred back after an account is frozen, but you need to know why the account was frozen. If the account is not unfrozen, the funds will not be returned even after 90 days. It is recommended that you appeal the account first before you can withdraw the funds.

What to do if the image is stolen and infringed?

My suggestion is to contact the complainant as soon as possible and apologize sincerely to him/her (after all, you stole the pictures first, so you should apologize). At the same time, you should also tell him/her about the difficulties you encountered, such as the inventory withdrawal caused by the deletion of the listing, etc. Tell him/her clearly and in as much detail as possible, strive to gain the other party's understanding, and assure him/her that you will immediately replace the pictures and will no longer steal other people's pictures. You can even offer to give the other party a certain amount of financial compensation, just hoping that the other party can let you go and reduce your losses.

Generally speaking, those who complain about you are all Chinese colleagues. No one wants to make enemies with you. If you admit your mistakes, the other party will generally withdraw the lawsuit. If the other party withdraws the lawsuit, you can just change the picture.

If it develops to this point, my advice is to be grateful to the other party for not killing you. At the same time, learn from your lesson and take all the product photos yourself in the future.

Of course, there are worse situations, that is, the other party does not respond or withdraw the lawsuit. In this case, you should calculate the withdrawal cost and abandonment cost yourself to see which one will result in less loss. Then you can choose a way with less loss to recover some of the loss.

After all, in such matters, you are the one who made the mistake first. You should regard the loss as an opportunity to learn. It is not recommended to act like some sellers do, with a hatred and revengeful mentality, thinking about how to beat the other party to death.

Infringement is a serious violation on Amazon. If sellers do not want to make mistakes, they must understand which actions on Amazon will be judged as infringement. Fortunately, this website has also introduced it, so you can just search it.
