My 4 years account was deactivated after video call

Since my UK account operator has left my company early this year, and there is only 40-50 orders per day this year, so another account operator for North America site began to manage my UK account from March.
On Jun 10, i attended video meeting about Italy site because amazon told me i must attend for my account security.
But we didn’t operate Europe store anymore since UK left Europe, i answered all the questions related my company and my store very well, but my new UK account operator is lack of knowledge about the non-operation Italy site, there were 2 questions she made wrong answer about 3 years ago order date and Italy funds.
Then my total Europe include UK account were deactivated, because amazon thought “Your account may have been used to engage in deceptive or illegal activity that harms our customers, other selling partners, and our store”.
I feel so unacceptable that the Italy has stop selling after Brexit, it has been over 3 years.
if the purpose of video call is to verify my Identity Information, i answered all the related issue very well, so i believe this is wrong and unacceptable allegation to my account.
Also i made appeal quickly on Jun 28, but there is still no response, feel so sad.

The video call email:

You need to post the full deactivation notice

Presumably you are talking about a VA who was doing all this ?

this doesn’t make sense

they only wanted you to attend a video verification meeting to prove you are who you say you are

what has a VA got to do with answering questions wrong ?!

if there is only 40 - 50 orders per day, why are you not running this yourself?

(I am assuming these are all FBAs? As it looks like you don’t even have a physical presence in the UK at all)

Me too, the auditor is lack of verification experience, he thought there was problem about my credit card statement, in fact all the credit card statements have "problem" like what the auditor said, it's just like a "bug" from bank, i explained and submitted several credit card statements again, but nobody reply, What a dictatorial solution.
