invalid charge method > succesful verification > invalid charge method
Hi all, we tried two cards, non pre-paid, and with both we get stuck at the "invalid charge method" step:
NCID: AYGWA9BDIIZI1 ZCID: A2EK70BYXU0BZA PAID: A2K645B62CXGK2 MCID: A2EK70BYXU0BZA MKID: A1F83G8C2ARO7P When: Jul 16, 2024 10:51:56 AM

If we try and verify the cards, it seems to work:

But then, if I try to appeal to unblock the account, I'm back again to "invalid charge method".
Meanwhile, our account has been blocked and I can't appeal as the charge method is invalid.
The bank can't see anything on their end.
I already checked here and everything seems correct:

Could you please help?
Cheers,

Hello Pietro,
Thank you for reaching out.
Did you address this issue to the Seller Support? If yes, would you mind sharing a case ID?
Thank you,
Julia.

Hi Julia,
Thanks for following up.
When I contact Seller Support they say that I'm addressing the wrong channel, e.g. case IDs 9989405522 and 9957043892
And almost every attempt to contact help channels ends in a "Invalid Charge Method".
We tried 3 valid business debit cards, not pre-paid, regularly used in the business. All seem to succeed as per my original post, then fail.
Kind regards,
Pietro

Hi Pietro,
Hope you had a nice weekend!
Did you receive a new communication from our partner team?
Best,
Julia.

Hi @Julia_Amzn,
Weekend was not bad thx.
No communications I can see.
No emails.
If I click here for direct messages I get an Invalid Charge Method screen

My cases with support are still all closed. When I open a case about Invalid Charge Method, it gets closed because "This email address is not the correct channel to submit an appeal.".
My original request is not about submitting an appeal though, as it's about a Charge Method verification.
In any case now I also need to appeal as my account has been deactivated, but all the links included in the case point to the same Invalid Charge Method screen.
So I need help with:
- Invalid Charge Method, which led to account deactivation.
- Account reactivation, which is blocked by Invalid Charge Method.
I would hope that fixing the Invalid Charge Method would then allow me to get the account reactivated... but back to your question: no new communications from Amazon partner team.

Thanks for the response @Seller_Yb630TV8IJwgK!
In this case, I will guide you through the next steps. 😃
I will reach out to you in a private message, which you will find in your case log.
Please confirm once you receive it!
Julia.

Hi @Julia_Amzn, I've received your message in the Cases and Requests Log section, thanks.
I'm chasing my accountant to get the documents you required. I'll update through the Cases and Requests Log section.
Could we please keep this thread open for now? Just in case I end up getting an Invalid Charge Method and then I have to re-explain everything in a new ticket?
All the best,
Pietro
