What to do if your Amazon Seller account gets suspended
Having your Amazon Seller account suspended can be a major risk for your income and your reputation. It can also be equally stressful to handle.
Amazon might withdraw your selling privileges for one of three reasons: poor selling performance, violation of Amazon’s policies, and selling products that are restricted.
If you’ve had your account suspended, take a deep breath and go through the following tips to help you recover your account:
- Go through the suspension email carefully and confirm the charges
- Find the cause of the issue and prepare yourself for the possible outcome
- Acknowledge your faults and identify which department you will need to reach out to
- Prepare an Amazon suspension appeal letter with a plan of action and the needed documentation. This should include steps to avoid similar issues from recurring
- Ensure your appeal letter is persuasive, apologetic, and sincere
- Send a specific, well-structured email. Begin with an introduction, the impact of your mistake on Amazon, actions taken since your account got suspended, future actions, and a summary. Avoid writing wordy emails
- Avoid blaming the buyer or Amazon. Instead, take full responsibility even if you are not directly at fault
- Avoid sending follow-up emails as this could prolong a response
- Wait for a response from Amazon. This could take between 4-5 weeks. However difficult, simply trust the process.
