I received an email stating that my account was deactivated due to a violation of section 3 of the Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement, citing deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity after sending the utility bill. Here is the original email:
"Your Amazon seller account has been deactivated, and your listings have been removed in accordance with section 3 of the Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement. Continue to ship open orders and respond to customer inquiries to avoid further impact on your account.
Why did this happen?
We need additional documentation to verify your identity and account ownership. For more information on our requirements, check section "P-4 Verification" of the "Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement"
How do I reactivate my account?
1. Confirm that there is a valid credit card on file.
2. Submit all the following documents to take care of the account verification issues:
-- Bank account statement and credit card statement.
-- A valid government-issued photo identity document such as driver’s license or passport. The document must include the full name, date of birth, ID number, expiry date, signature of the bearer if applicable and country of issuance or country of citizenship.
-- A business license, if applicable.
-- A utility bill dated for piped gas, natural gas, electricity, piped water, mobile phone, fixed-line phone, or internet service.
What are the document requirements?
-- It must contain your name and address, the service provider's name and additional information such as the date of issue and due date, service provider's address, service provider's logo, and usage details if applicable.
-- Your name and address must be visible and match the name and address in Seller Central.
-- It must have been issued in the last 90 days.
-- It must be full page and unobstructed, including the document corners.
-- It must have high definition, be clear and readable. The required information must be visible and in focus.
-- It must be authentic and unaltered.
-- It must not be protected by a password. You can re-upload the same document without password protection, or upload a photo of the document. For security reasons, do not reply to this email with any password.
-- It must not be a screenshot.
-- It must be in one of the supported languages. Supported languages include Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese. If the documents are not in one of the supported languages, you must submit a notarized translation into one of the supported languages along with the original document.
-- It must be a PDF, JPG, PNG, or GIF file."
I submitted all requested documents via the "Account Health" page, including a bank account statement, credit card statement, a valid government-issued photo ID, and a gas utility bill issued within the last 90 days. I ensured that all documents met Amazon’s requirements (clear, full-page, in a supported format, matching the name and address in Seller Central, and in a supported language). A business license was not applicable in my case, so I did not submit one. I also confirmed that a valid credit card is on file. Amazon's next email was:
"We received your submission but we are unable to reactivate your account. Upon review of your account, we confirmed that your Amazon seller account has been used to engage in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity that harms our customers, other selling partners, and our store.
Why is this happening? Your Amazon seller account has been deactivated in accordance with section 3 of Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement."
On March I completed the full video verification process. I were asked to show my invoices, documents, statements, etc. I was approved.
I respectfully request the clarification on the specific reason for my account’s deactivation, such as which actions, listings, or activities were flagged.Guidance on what additional steps, documentation, or evidence I can provide to resolve this issue and reactivate my account.Advice from the community or Amazon moderators on how to strengthen my appeal. Thank you in advance...
