So, I have an extra copy of this (available for trade if anyone is interested). It is in new/sealed condition. I attempted to list it on Amazon in new condition, but according to Amazon "1 letter from Live2Pedal authorizing you to sell their products" is necessary to do so.
I informed Amazon that I did not believe that the "Return to Oz" soundtrack was the product of "Live2Pedal", but they did not reply specifically to that assertion. Instead they simply reiterated my need to get permission from "Live2Pedal" to sell "their" product.
It does not appear as though this company has anything to do with Intrada... so why would they claim that "Return to Oz" is THEIR product? Unless Amazon is mistaken and no such claim has been made.
Bizarre. I've never heard of this happening to a 3rd party seller. I recall Amazon limiting some items to only the "paying" sellers (as opposed to folks just trying to re-sell something), but usually it was expensive items or items deemed to be commonly bootlegged.
This is why I stopped selling items on Amazon. You need permission now to sell anything and I rather trade or sell from this site. And film score collectors know what they are getting. I had complaints and people wanting refunds because certain pop songs was not on the album.
I would just re-list the item. Suggestion: when you re-list call it "Disney's Return To Oz." Might scare off someone who is intentionally asserting false copyright ownership.
Like YouTube, eBay and countless other digital platforms the algorithms are in charge. Someone keys in a wrong number and weird stuff happens to thousands of sellers.

At some point....I dunno maybe three-four years ago (I really don't remember) Amazon started limiting 3rd party sales of certain CDs but the list of said CDs doesn't seen to have any real rhyme or reason. A lot of major label discs are in that category, though. Basically it's a crapshoot if you try and list a CD if it'll be allowed or not.

On Amazon you list things on the product page, it's not a matter of setting the title.

Exactly. Anyway, I just listed it as "used" and noted that it is new. Not that I should have had to do that. It could confuse a potential buyer. And Return to Oz is not the product of "Live to Pedal" in any case, so why should I need their permission?
As for setting the title, you have to pay Amazon a monthly fee. Then you can create product pages. Including titles. I don't pay Amazon a monthly fee. I did list some items that showed up under odd titles for awhile. Then I noticed in the Amazon seller forums that someone was accusing me of "UPC harvesting". It seems the person who created the product page was no longer selling the item. Resulting in the person doing the accusing assuming that I created it. I sent him a message asking him what "UPC harvesting" is (and explaining to him that I did not create the page), but he didn't reply.
