by Seller_OICxamLI30BYQ

Hello i’m new to amazon seller in general so forgive me if this is the wrong place but its hard to get any actual help on this platform.

Today my account was suspended and when i looked at the reason for suspension, I saw this, bare in my i am not even the ’ Christmas Console’:

"Dear Christmas Console

I would like to be able to talk to someone that works at amazon seller about this issue. I am not the seller ‘Christmas Console’ and i believe amazon has made a mistake putting this suspension on me ’ TheHomeSeller’ the wrong person. All my products are legit and i’ve just shipped 3 packages this week. Not a single message or complaint to me from any of my customers.

Do you have those ASINs listed? Whilst it could be sent in error, it is more likely they forgot to change the name when completing the template prior to issuing it to you.

This is the right place to come for help and advice. You may not be aware that Amazon routinely suspend new accounts in order to check sellers are sourcing goods from reputable and acceptable suppliers.

Providing your goods were purchased from wholesalers Amazon recognise, and providing you have the paperwork to prove it (i.e. proper invoices), you should not have a problem.

Amazon is not well organized nor welcoming to new sellers, they just suspend accounts on routine without even a reason.

I think @BonChoixUK has more than adequately outlined the first steps to be taken. Hopefully you will have someone who can assist you if need be with the seller university and policy pages.
Take your time digesting what they say, there is a lot to take in. But once done, come back to this thread and I am sure others will give you some pointers as to how to begin your POA.
Your POA must be your own, detailing your own reasons as to what went wrong, but help can be given. Good luck

It looks like the mysterious “Christmas Console” made the press with their Amazon offer:

@TheHomeSeller, @Bairstows post has prompted me to ask you, did you list these PS5’s for significantly more than you purchased them for?
