AMAZON WON'T TELL YOU THIS - They are auto replicating your listing to International Marketplaces via "Build International Listing" Tool resulting in inventory holds
Amazon in classic fashion has auto enrolled seller accounts in replicating their listing to international marketplaces where they might not be selling at all. In my case I was enrolled into Brazil Marketplace and my listings were replicated there resulting in a random copyright violation in Portugese resulting in my Units getting quarantined in the US marketplace as well. I COULDN'T SELL ON PRIME DAY IN US BECAUSE AMAZON SAID I HAD A VIOLATION IN BRAZIL FOR A LISTING I DID NOT EVEN ADD IN BRAZIL. AMAZON LOVES SCREWING OVER SMALL SELLERS.
To make sure your inventory units are not held hostage, do the following:
Inventory > Sell Globally > Build International Listings > Remove connection to the international marketplace

They are not replicating your listings. Brazil has become part of the unified account (US, CA, MX and Brazil). Like the others, if you do not wish to sell there, remove all inventory and put on vacation mode.

While I have seen this before, @Seller_OvL8C4BJWiuS9is correct that it is always up to you to constantly check the details of your account. If you see a post about something like this happening once, you check your account to make sure it doesn't happen to you. Even if you don't see something like this in forums, check your account (especially account health) daily for anything that looks unusual or not right so that you don't encounter something like this. Same with emails, if you see an email from Amazon, especially if it says 'your account is at risk for deactivation" or "Your account is at risk of suspension" check it. I check through all of this daily, you have to. I think that was the point @Seller_OvL8C4BJWiuS9was trying to make.
