Parallel Import Violation - Unauthorized Item

[remote_controls_and_more]

I just got the following email... from what i can tell its because i have GSP enabled on these items. I'm not sure why the items were completely removed instead of just turning off GSP. Is there anyway to recover the listings or do i have to start them over from scratch?

It's possible that those items were made for the US only and that turning off the gsp will make a difference but it is also possible that they were made for other countries and are NOT to be sold in the US.  You should contact the rights holder as suggested so that you know they won't be taken down again.

no,dairy products if you let it sit outside the fridge too long,it get spoiled,and even if you keep in the fridge if the temperature is not cold enough,it spoils easily.

KR has a policy if the customer has taken the refrigerated stuff or raw meat outside the store,and try to return them,they will not put them back on the shelf.

That would depend upon the item, obviously. 

I had an Epson laser printer for almost 10 years, and after a while I had no choice but to use expired toner cartridges - because new ones were no longer available. It eventually died from a paper feed mechanism failure, but the expired toner cartridges never caused an issue.

I have used old film which sat in a car map box for years and amazingly it was fine. You never know. There are lots of articles out there about the foods that last way beyond the exp dates...eggs for one. Mother Earth News did an experiment with refrigerated eggs and found that they were still edible after SIX months. When I find a good sale on eggs I buy dozens.

What bugs me is all the recipe magazines with recipes for vinaigrettes and other vinegar and sugar based ingredients that recommend tossing after three days. Hahahaha, they will last for months. Just refrigerate them. Think pickles. If you open a jar of pickles do you throw them out after 3 days? No.

And a very recent article says that even commercial mayo doesn't need to be refrigerated. That's going a bit too far for me, I get food poisoning very easily. So it stays in the **bleep**.

But it is HP which pulled the listings,so HP must not like the expiration date,it gives them a bad name,

Or HP think they are not authentic.

If they are that old,it could jamm the printer and give HP a bad name.

As for dairy products,I have gotten sick a few times buying creamer close to expiration date and ice cream which is not close to expiration date.

Altho Kroger has a policy,once the  frozen items/fresh meat  have left the premise and returned,they dont put them back on the shelf,they ditch them

Like HP could be given a worse name than they give themselves?

So tired of their constant popups to use their ink service thing.

Mayo & other dressings I refrigerate, but growing up down under I find it weird to refrigerate stuff like jam/jelly, ketchup, peanut butter etc.

Interesting, thanks for the info.

This appears to be a VERO take down and you will need to deal with the rights owner if you believe it was not justified.  

I believe some items are restricted from being sold in other countries by trade agreements and treaties.  This may be the reason for the take down.  I would suggest you follow the instructions and contact the rights owner and not attempt to relist.

Actually, baby formula is also fine long past the expiration date.

Many hospitals donate their expired formula to churches in Mexico, for distribution. I used it myself twenty-some years ago.

LOL, there’s a reason the survivors aren’t starving 5 years into the zombie apocalypse. Canned stuff virtually never goes bad.
