Navigating Amazon Account Suspensions: A Seller’s Guide to Reinstatement

Dealing with an Amazon account suspension can be a daunting experience for any seller. It disrupts your business, affects your sales, and can be incredibly frustrating. However, understanding the reasons behind account suspensions and knowing the steps to take for reinstatement can make the process less overwhelming. At Amazon Global Appeals, we specialize in helping sellers navigate these challenges. This guide will walk you through the common causes of account suspensions and the steps to successfully reinstate your account.

Common Reasons for Amazon Account Suspensions

1. Performance Issues:

• Late Shipments: Consistently shipping orders late can lead to a suspension. It’s crucial to meet Amazon’s shipping performance metrics.
• Order Defect Rate: High rates of order defects, such as negative feedback, A-to-Z Guarantee claims, and chargebacks, can trigger a suspension.
• Pre-fulfillment Cancel Rate: Frequent cancellations before shipping can negatively impact your account’s health.

2. Policy Violations:

• Product Condition: Selling used items as new or delivering items not as described can lead to complaints and account suspension.
• Restricted Products: Listing prohibited or restricted items can result in immediate suspension.
• Intellectual Property Infringement: Selling counterfeit items or violating trademark and copyright laws can lead to severe penalties.

3. Account Health Issues:

• Multiple Accounts: Operating multiple seller accounts without Amazon’s approval is against their policies and can lead to suspension.
• Linked Accounts: If an account linked to yours (such as another seller account you own) gets suspended, it can affect your account.
