Read onlyHi,
I am writing to ask for your help or guidance regarding an appeal regarding the deactivation of my Amazon UK seller account. The account was deactivated due to three violations, which concerned the lack of a compliant 3-pin plug in listings aimed at the UK market.
I acknowledge that I made a mistake and fully understand my failure to act. In each appeal I have expressed regret and remorse and have emphasised that:
I have immediately removed all products that do not meet UK requirements.
I have put in place preventative procedures to ensure that this does not happen in the future.
I have trained my team to better understand the market requirements and policies that apply to Amazon UK.
I have invested in systems to check that products comply with local regulations.
Unfortunately, despite detailed appeals, all responses from Amazon are standard and automated. I have not received any information to suggest that my case has been reviewed by decision makers.
The deactivation of my Amazon UK account has had a huge negative impact on my business. This is a key sales channel in my business, and its absence causes significant financial losses, delays in customer service and the risk of losing the trust of my partners and recipients.
Has anyone had similar problems? Do you know how to effectively reach decision-makers at Amazon who could reconsider my case? Any advice, contact or suggestion will be extremely valuable to me.
Thank you in advance for your help and time!
Firstly it's worth noting that Amazon do not have to accept an appeal - they are within their rights to reject an appeal and keep an account deactivated.
Also, without wanting to come across as too harsh, Amazon do not care that a seller is sorry or what impact their decision to reject an appeal has on the seller or their business. Anything like that in an appeal is simply a waste of time.
Without knowing what was in an appeal and what Amazon may have said about it there isn't too much advice that can be offered.
