Depends, canada sucks but are you trying to sell it preloaded with kodi and all that and in your add does it say get everything for free or any of that? If so thats why it was pulled.

There is other types of boxes on amazon… i dont buy any of that on amazon anymore. They sell trash versions of these media boxed with hacked os and dont care… buzz has a candian store where i would buy it from instead of a 3rd party costing me more which is ridiculous.

Brand new factory sealed. Nothing additional in my add.

I just checked and even Amazon is no longer selling the B5 themselves??? Other models still available.

I was only selling the B5.

Probably not but im wondering if this has any thing to do with resellers and 3rd party selling something official and a markup cost to sell it to make extra money. So lets say something from buzz i have to sell for 10% or so more than it would be getting it right from them. If that’s the case then good. Why to many people doing that which is scammy. I’m not sure it could be anything. Hopefully it gets resolved.

I see that alot with nas devices on amazon, someone snatches up a bunch of $200 nas devices, inserts storage and re-sells for $500…very common

Yea, Amazon should be going after them… I see that crap too. The preloaded box stuff at least has come down, I don’t see that as much.

I can recall around 6 or 7 years ago, Amazon was allowing resellers of jailbroken and open app loaded firesticks and tv boxes to sell their products. Slowly that has changed over time. Now Amazon has truly crossed the rubicon if they think just because an android streaming device is capable of downloading/streaming content subject to copyright infringement that it can’t be marketed or sold on their site. That pretty much would eliminate all stock android or android tv streaming devices including Nvidia Shield. Good luck with that. They can look forward to a big loss of business in this segment if they make that move.

This is BS. Woke companies bending to the pressure of outfits like ACE, MPA, Dish, etc. There is nothing illegal about this box at all and there are free and legal M3Us that can be used with it. Unreal. Thanks for posting.

Amazon is positioning themselves to be a one stop shop for all things streaming, from apps to devices, and even to internet. They want to control all aspects. Thereby, dominating the market by eliminating any competition.

Bezos truly SUCKS!

Just to be clear, i was talking about 3rd party sellers who buy things preload or not but sell them over there msrp.

It will backfire. There will always be alternatives to “captive” streaming devices and IPTV services. The cat was let out of the bag quite a while ago and nothing can stop it.

I do have the opportunity to dispute. Im going to tell them if the Buzz B5 has been identified as a streaming media player that is facilitating copyright infringement. Amazon policy prohibits the listing or sale of products that promote, suggest the facilitation of, or actively enable the infringement of or unauthorized access to digital media or other protected content. Then what about there Firestick??? There are definitely more people using Firesticks and other Amazon products to watch iptv then there are B5 owners. There many things these devices can be used for other than using for iptv. There are also legit free legal iptv servers. You can install tons of apk’s to legally watch movies & tv. You can game you can do socail media, email, txt, video chat. I agree that this is total bull.

Here is a screen capture I just took:
