I created a new Amazon account one month ago, and everything seemed fine at first.
However, after 1-2 weeks, my account was blocked because Amazon detected a connection to another account. After speaking with customer support over the phone, I realized that I still had an old Amazon account that I had completely forgotten about, as I hadn't used it in the past eight years.
I regained access to my old account and was asked to re-upload my documents because they had expired. I complied, as this was necessary to reactivate the account before I could proceed with closing it.
After making countless calls (probably around 20) and sending about 15 emails to get an estimated timeline, I finally received an email ( today ) stating that my verification had failed. I have no idea why, and apparently, I cannot request reactivation.
I called Amazon again, and the representative told me to send an email explaining the situation so that it could be forwarded to the right department. I did that, but within two minutes, I received an automated response that made no sense.
At this point, I’m stuck. How can I reach someone at Amazon who can actually review my information and fix this issue? If that’s not possible, I would like to formally request the information Amazon holds on me to verify if it is correct ( legally by GDPR I can request a SAR request ) .
I've seen many other users in this forum with similar experiences, and I have to agree—the email and phone support teams are not helpful. They keep repeating the same scripted responses and either cannot escalate the issue or simply don’t want to deal with it.
I sincerely hope someone from Amazon sees this and escalates my case. I’ve already invested so much time and effort trying to resolve this issue just to be able to sell on Amazon and generate extra revenue for my business. Instead, I’ve wasted countless hours in a frustrating back-and-forth that’s leading nowhere time that would have been much better spent actually running my business.
In the meaning time in the new account I got a sale ( and I shipped the Item ) and the found are blocked and i guess they will be lost at this point
Any guidance on how to get this resolved would be greatly appreciated.
