# Spare-time XR micro-action - legal and easy!
#### Anyone with an internet browser can take this action
Here’s a handy idea for a micro-action you can take any time you’ve got 5 minutes to spare to support XR, it protects our name.
You may be aware that big vending sites on the internet – Amazon – eBay – Etsy, are selling XR “branded” merchandise.

XR does not endorse or create any merchandise, so any merch on these sites isn’t sold with any benefit to XR.
#### **AMAZON**
On Amazon you HAVE to post a **question** or they won't share it.
You might be able to leave an unverified buyer review without purchasing as well, but this is often blocked.
Questions are never blocked.
**Do I use my own profile?**
You might want go into your Amazon profile and change your public profile name (or even set up a brand new profile) so your privacy is protected (from the public at least).
If a pop up query on clothing listings asks if you're confident you can get a proper fit for this item, enter "not at all".
This reduces the ranking of the saleable quality of the product, and can force then to delete and re-list the item, causing the vendor to waste time.
**Question** If the product is being sold *directly by Amazon*:
Can you provide proof of permission to use the Extinction Rebellion logo from the original designer and legal owner?
I understood that [Extinction Rebellion (XR)](https://extinctionrebellion.uk/the-truth/about-us/) does not sell merchandise and I don't want to support knock off products that scammers are profiting from.
**Question** If the product is being sold by a business *through Amazon Marketplace*:
What is the name and contact information of the business selling this product please?
