Urgent help needed Account is at risk of deactivation due to linked accounts
I received below notification that my account is linked to another account. I received same notification exaclty 2 years ago. I really do not know what to do. I have amazon’s loan to pay back and if they deactivate my account even for 2 days, I will loose sales and that will affect my ability to pay back loan. Its a long standing account with over 4 million sales and I am really stressed right now.
ANY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WILL BE VERY HELPFUL. I am going to appeal on the basis of error from your side.
Below is notification that I received.
Another account you own or operate has been deactivated, and if left unaddressed will lead to the deactivation of this selling account within 7 days. While we are reviewing your account, funds will not be transferred to you but will stay in your account while we work with you to address this issue in accordance with the Funds Withholding policy (https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/external/help.html?itemID=9RA9LYBJ3QP27M6). Please ship any open orders to avoid further impact to your account.
Why is this happening?
You have a separate account Helen215 that was enforced for violating one of our policies. As a result, the current selling account is in violation of our Multiple Selling Account policy outlined in the Seller Code of Conduct (https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/gp/help/1801) and may be at risk of deactivation if your other selling account remains deactivated.
How do I address this issue?
In order to avoid the deactivation of this selling account, follow these steps:
– Reactivate the account associated with Helen215 by submitting an appeal. Follow the instructions in the communication received for that account.
– Once that account is reactivated, submit an appeal to reactivate the current account (https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/performance/dashboard?ref=ah_em_ap). When submitting the appeal, you will need to provide us with the name of the account that was reactivated and the date of reactivation.
What if I don’t own the Helen215 account?
If you believe you do not own the other account, follow these steps:
– If you once owned the account but no longer own it, submit an appeal using the Account Health dashboard and provide supporting documentation to show that you no longer own it. Supporting documentation may include sales deed, purchase agreement, or business transfer agreement.
– If you do not recognize the above account and believe this deactivation was in error, submit an appeal in the Account Health dashboard and confirm that this account does not belong to you. If we cannot substantiate the claim, your account will not be reinstated and this account will not be allowed to do business on Amazon in the future.
What happens if I do not send the requested information?
If you do not provide a valid appeal or choose not to appeal the deactivation on your other account within 7 days, this selling account will be deactivated. After 90 days following this notification, you may separately request a funds disbursement by contacting disbursement-appeals@amazon.co.uk. We will conduct a separate investigation to evaluate your account. If we find that you have engaged in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity; or have abused our systems or repeatedly violated our policies that protect our customers and selling partners, we may withhold some or all funds in your account in accordance with the Funds Withholding policy. Do not attempt to create a new seller account. Creating a new account may have further impact to your account health or ability to continue selling on Amazon.

So you don’t recognise the account Helen215 at all? Do you use any 3rd party services like prep centres etc? Have anyone else who can access your account?

It’s a private residence, not virtual address and only has 3 ltds there so presumably home address not accountants

Thank you very much for all help,
I have figured out and most probably that is the reason,
One of my employee whom I added as a second user used to be director of company 3 years ago and that company or that person had an amazon seller account.
I added him as a secondary user two months ago and this has linked the account.
He is on our payroll so I am going to submit his payslips, p60s and job offer letter and explain that this has happened due to adding of secondary user on our account who is our employee and his account has linked to ours.
We have nothing to do with that that account.
Will that be ok to submit?
Many thanks in advance

For last 3 years he lives at different address,

Below is the reply from amazon
You have been found to be related to an account beginning with John512.
We received your submission but do not have enough information to reactivate your account at this time.
To reactivate your account, please provide evidence that you have never owned a separate account and believe this deactivation was in error by providing supporting documentation. This includes but is not limited to any authorized or unauthorized relationship through a third-party company or evidence of account compromise. If we cannot substantiate the claim, your account will not be reinstated.

This has got more twists than a true crime podcast.

I have establised John512 is Mukundaxa limited and I mentioned that above. Same person I added as a secondary user 3 months ago,
But why it is getting linked now after 2.5 years!! I have only one account.
I have no access what soever of John512.
Only question is what information do I submit information and what exactly do I need to submit.
If that was linked 2.5 years ago with European accounts, why Its linked now as John512 I have got no access at all
