An Instagram handle used by a reseller of your products

Short answer: If a reseller uses your brand name as their handle, a trademark report can fit when the account suggests it is you or your official store. Genuine resale is often allowed, so focus on confusion: your logo, your name alone and no sign that it is a third party.

Signs that a report fits

Steps

  1. Screenshot the profile, bio and posts with dates.
  2. Message the reseller and ask for a name change.
  3. If that fails, use Instagram's trademark report.
  4. Include your registration number and the confusion points.

If they are an authorised seller

Use your agreement with them. A name change can be agreed in writing.
