Seller account deactivated
by Seller_gZRzAMEozGzBt

UK seller account deactivated due to using harsh language with customer service. It should have been used i understand. I was pushing my employee to why issue not been resolved yet. He came under pressure and used harsh language.

I have submitted 6th action plan and they reject with standard reply. First i wrote brief plan. Later i started adding up details and by 5th plan it was lengthy document. Basically same facts stretched over few pages . Then i called customer service and she asked me to write a brief plan with different heads . I did and it was rejected again today.

It all started from a blocked listing. Amazon customer service team was asking to edit listing. We did all but no success. We did all we could to fix listing. Amazon support was sending same copy paste reply. No help for sellers from technical team. They always send standard reply from no-reply email so we cannot start two way communication.

Section 3 deactivation
by Seller_xxNwpx4e6qP2g

Amazon deactivated my account and wont accept my invoice when they accepted the invoice before.

In March, I advised Amazon to update the product image as Shiseido and Fino had parted ways, but my suggestion was not taken into account. As a result, customers were confused and complained, thinking the product was fake. However, Amazon has since created a separate listing with the correct product image, and the complaints have stopped.

Initially, Amazon accepted my invoice without issue, but now they have deactivated my account and are no longer accepting it. I find this situation unfair and confusing. The reinstatement of my listing had reassured me that my supplier was legitimate, and now I’m left in a difficult position without clear reasoning from Amazon. This feels inconsistent, and I’m hoping to get some clarity on the matter.

I sent the below on via the 'help' section

Subject:** Request for Reinstatement of Account – ASIN B00JF5BTF6

Dear Amazon Account Health Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concern and confusion regarding the deactivation of my account due to ASIN B00JF5BTF6.

This ASIN has not been part of my inventory or sales for over four months. To provide a clear timeline of events:

1. On March 21, I was restricted from selling this ASIN. I promptly submitted invoices from my trusted wholesaler on March 24, along with an explanation clarifying that the product is genuine. The explanation addressed potential customer confusion due to a branding update—where Fino and Shiseido had parted ways.

2. Following this, my account was reinstated by Amazon. The approval not only reaffirmed my belief that my products were authentic but also strengthened my trust in my supplier.

3. Encouraged by Amazon’s validation, I continued sourcing from this supplier and selling the product. However, in August, I received a single complaint of inauthenticity. Despite having had my invoices approved earlier, this time Amazon did not accept the same supplier’s documentation.

4. To ensure compliance and avoid further complications, I immediately ceased all sales of this ASIN and refrained from sending any related inventory. Since August, I have not been associated with ASIN B00JF5BTF6 in any way.

Since that time, I have continued selling other items, consistently adhering to Amazon’s authenticity policies by sourcing from trusted wholesalers and submitting invoices whenever required.

Given the above timeline and my complete disassociation with ASIN B00JF5BTF6 since August, I believe my account's deactivation for this ASIN must be a mistake. This business is incredibly important to me, and I take Amazon’s policies on authenticity and customer trust very seriously.

To support this appeal, I will attach all relevant emails and correspondence pertaining to this case.

I respectfully request a review of my account and the situation surrounding this ASIN. Please let me know if any further documentation is needed to resolve this matter and have my account reinstated.

the notification is :

I've been sending packages since last year via UPS parcel collection service as many of us do. On the 7th of January, I delivered two boxes as usual. After couple of days, I realized that one of the boxes seem like never been received by the UPS. I called the driver to double check if I miss anything and he confirmed that he received two boxes from me. I engaged with customer representatives and they say they cannot give information because your name and your company are not what I see on the system, therefore, I cannot make sure that you are the shipper. I cannot find any contact and now my 500 pounds box gone missing. Has anybody experienced this before?

Hello,

I really need your urgent help/advice guys.

First of all, I'm not a new seller. I've been selling since April, I've achieved month on month steady growth on the UK marketplace.

However, overnight, without any warning or notification, since 1 July, I have had a significant issue with my Amazon account: I have lost the BuyBox/Featured Offer for ALL of my listings.

As a result, in the last few days my daily sales have dropped from around £3000 to almost zero. In addition, my "Featured Offer %" has dropped to 0%. Btw, my account health is currently 344.

I opened several tickets without success, but chatted with Amazon Support who confirmed: "As of the moment your ACCOUNT is not eligible for BuyBox".

Despite opening multiple cases, I have yet to receive any feedback or resolution regarding this matter. The cases indicated that my store's performance is satisfactory, and I have thoroughly reviewed my store multiple times to ensure compliance with all guidelines. Additionally, I would like to mention that all of my products are fulfilled by Amazon (FBA) and meet the necessary requirements for obtaining the buybox.

However, as to the reason why this happened and what I needed to do to get it resolved, I was told nothing but to wait. The problem is that I am losing money every day by not being able to sell anything, but I have to cover the costs of my business and order new products.

I cannot name here all my ASIN, because this issue affects ALL of my SKUs , These are a few of the asin I've had problems with:

B0D5XSTCCN

and given that it appears to be an Amazon-side problem. Therefore I am requesting your urgent assistance.

I have already emailed the Managing Director about this, but have not yet received a reply.

Can I somehow reach the team responsible to check my account and restore the Featured Offers in my account as soon as possible?

Thank you for your prompt attention to this urgent matter.

@Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP

Verification Nightmare
by Seller_JdIOgrieZoqGK

I requested to change my bank account on the 12 December. As far as I'm aware I did everything that was required, but as of today (17 Jan) I still have 'awaiting verification'. On top of that another issue appeared - I apparently selected the wrong legal entity as part of the account verification (I seem to remember making sure that I put in the correct legal entity but heyho, manybe I'm wrong). When I try to update this, I get an error page which means I can't make any changes until the other issue (the bank account) is verified. This means I'm completely stuck in a vicious circle. I've contacted support and eventually I got a reply yesterday to say that this query has been sent to the internal team but I've not heard anything since. I realise that I'm a very small fish in a very large pond, but a simple email from that team, to say that they are looking into the matter would be nice. Seriously considering closing the account altogether now. If anyone from Amazon is reading this and you think you can help, it's case number 10708670802.

Change in Handling and Shipment times
by Seller_Uvo4eSWpFwo9H
Amazon replied

Hi, I've noticed a change in my handling and shipping times, for example. A buyer purchases an item on Thursday, the 16th, at 20.21, the ship-by date is showing as Friday, the 17th :-0

Has anyone else experienced similar, and do you know why this could be, please?

Amazon and Stylevana
by Seller_vbCSfWo0of7Gk

Hello All,

So i am one of those who have used stylevana to source items. Yep i am currently under a section 3 due to concerns of the authenticity of said items. I have provided all the documentation required to prove supply chain, payments including my own Xero reconciliation from my accountants and still i am deactivated. I sold all of the items and deleted the listing and none of the customers raised an issue.

All i want to do is get back to selling and build my business. Clearly i wont be using stylevana again. Has anyone managed to resolve a stylevana issue?

Cheers,

Dan

A couple of months ago, I created a new listing for a product I manufacture. The ASIN is currently not registered in Brand Registry as we were granted an exception by Amazon at the time of listing creation.

Now that I am about to be Out of Stock, I clicked on Replenish inventory, however, I was surprised to see the error:

We are not accepting applications to sell:

- Other product(s)

- Other Health & Personal Care category in Used, Refurbished, Collectible condition(s)

First of all, my product should not fall under any of these two as it has its own correct category so it is not "others" + is new so is not "used" either. This error does not make sense to me.

Agents were not able to support me on this, and they came with the same answer, " You were gated by Amazon. To maintain a safe and trustworthy shopping experience" and suggested I just sit and wait.

@Seller_Udi0JNbTrsmUV I noticed you are able to reinstate another member ASIN with the same issue on here. Can you please look into this? The latest case ID is: 10714144312

I have seen many people on this forum having the same issue but not a clear resolution. What is going on with Amazon?

We invested a lot of money in the new stock as they recommended a restock of 470 units and now they do this? with no clear explanation? should we email: managingdirector@amazon.co.uk ?
