I have been a registered Amazon seller for more than two years and have been operating and paying taxes legally in Germany. I also registered my user name as my brand name.

Last Monday I received a notice from Amazon that my seller account was deactivated because my seller account was linked with another seller account, which has the same name as my brand name. - That is, Amazon determined that my own account was associated with myself!

My personal guess is that I went to Paris to attend an exhibition last weekend, during which I used the public free wifi in the exhibition hall and at the Paris airport. At the same time, other sellers may have also used the wifi to log in.

I explained this to the Amazon team and provided them with the authorization letter from the third-party service company (the tax agency in Germany) to access Amazon data, monthly bills paid to the tax agency, and bank transfer records as requested. But my appeal was still rejected. I can't find any additional documents.

I am sure that I only have one Amazon seller account and my account information has not been shared with others or stolen (I only use my own laptop to log in).

But now I totally don't know is there are any other documents I can upload and I don't know what else I can do to make Amazon realize that they made a mistake in stopping my account.

Please help share your experience and suggestions......

It's one of my biggest problems on Amazon, if I could actually correct the listings of all the products I could sell, my Amazon earnings would be a lot higher. Sadly, SS is very hit and miss on these issues with a ratio of 1 hit to 9 misses, which means it's not always worth it to waste time like that.

Ironically, I am allowed to list these brands products but I cannot correct the listings, because only the 'brand owners' can do it, which is funny as they are not even on Amazon.

We have had 2 returns initiated recently due to errors in the titles of an item.

B07TS8WQVP

Amazon Title - Annie Pattern, with Zip

Title should be IMHO - ByAnnie Out and About PBA282 sewing instructions to make your own Rucksack / Backpack / Knapsack in two sizes. Clear concise instructions

We listed on this item via the upc format.

However the title is incorrect both grammaticaly and factually which has caused one of the returns (amazon automatically issued a return label costing us £3.30 for a letter sized item below 100g on an item that we are selling for £12.50 inc postage))

We have tried many times to correct several of these but as on this one where someone has lited it as a brand called annie instead of the correct ByAnnies you get stumped when trying to get anything changed. Have tried today to add some bullet points to possibly reduce the amount of returns bt they have not come through yet.

There seams to be a policy of just blocking/making a simple operation very difficult any changes asking for hi res photos etc or supplier details and when we look through our listing we probably have 100+ of these that we would like to change the name to the correct one but dont have the time to jump through all the hoops that amazon want to put in the way when it is obvious that the original poster has made a mistake on the listing.

We should just be able to deactivate it. All of what you suggested I had already done and still got deactivated for something to do with paying tax in the US, which is in holiday mode and hasn't had anything on it for 2 years

do individual sellers get charged £30, I authorised a £1 charge to verify my account then got charged £30, I read that you get charged 75p on each item you sell. Thanks

Just got another one. I sell at £30. Two other sellers, 1 at £56 and the other at £76. I get deactivated and both of those are still in place.

Surely this is price fixing?

I probably get 1 a day, copy the wording add another condition and call it collectible, I guess that's what the other higher price ones are.

I also delete the listing with the high price notification as last time I reopened my account after a holiday loads of previous high price items went live again

Seems ok to do as long as out if print, or if not signed or limited edition

Should not apply to second hand books

Can ANYONE make any sense of Amazons pricing policy ? I have had books deactivated for overpricing when it was rare, mine was the only one on Amazon and those few on ABE were £10 more. I was asked to provide a 'reference price' which was presumably the new price in about 1980 !

Now I have had another removed so I looked up the others for sale. Mine was £38. Ther are two at £30, which was not the case when I first listed as I am always the cheapest like for like. But there are three at £80, and the one new copy ( surely their 'reference price' ) is over £200 !

I cant make any sense of it at all. Book prices on Amazon are totally random. I have seen prices ranging from 10 to 200 for the same book and Amazon is mostly happy with it. But when one of the bucket shops puts up a valuable book for a ridiculous price i am suddenly expected to match it. I would rather take it down the charity shop. ( mind you, thats where the bucket shops get some of their books )

Is it just me or does this happen to others ?

My ltd company owns my trademark.

My ltd company owns 100 GS1 barcodes.

I create a barcode and make sure to put my trademarked brand, under the "brand" field, and have attempted with 3 different GTIN-13 barcodes so far, and always receive the error :

"8572: You are using UPCs, EANs, ISBNs, ASINs or JAN codes that do not match the products you are trying to list. If you believe that you have reached this message in error, please contact Selling Partner Support with the following information:

Product Name

Manufacturer name

Brand name

UPC, EAN, ISBN or JAN along with GS1 certificate

Non-brand owners: A copy of a letter/email from the manufacturer or brand stating that the UPC, EAN, ISBN or JAN that you are using to list this product is valid

Brand owner: Valid and current (not expired) GS1 certificate for the GTIN range(s) used by your listings"

I supplied all needed information to support as requested, and received this response :

"Hello from Amazon Selling Partner Support,

We understand that your are facing an issue with getting 8572 error while product listing.

We have investigated and found that the Brand and Manufacturer are not enrolled in GTIN Authority.

If a Brand/Manufacturer is not enrolled, then it shouldn't be blocked by GTIN error.

Kindly relist the product with the exact brand name (case sensitive). If your listing is still blocked with the 8572 error, provide us with the latest Submission ID so that we can further investigate the issue.

If you are manually listing the products and does not have a Submission ID, please provide a valid 8572 error screenshot with the Brand Name and GTIN clearly visible."

I have confirmed that my brand is indeed enrolled with GTIN, as I sent screenshots of my account, showing this.

Our limited company owns the barcodes, and our brand, and trademark. What part of the back end behind the scenes is not working here?

Any advice would be appreciated.

One of our customers placed an order with us and requested a cancellation shortly. We cancelled the order 11 days ago, and the customer just left us 1-start seller feedback saying, "Cancelled this order still not received a refund."

Isn't that should be Amazon's responsibility to refund the customer when the order is cancelled? They say that they cannot remove the feedback as it is "a direct reflection of their Amazon shopping experience" and tell us that we should contact the customer even though the contact buyer button is gone!
