Our account has undergone Amazon KYC review and is currently in a suspended state
The Amazon seller's system seems to have a serious bug
Within 24 hours after we submitted the Amazon KYC documents, the system showed that the KYC had been approved, but unfortunately our account is still closed
At present, we are unable to obtain any information regarding the account closure, and we do not even know the reason for the closure
We have been operating legally and paying taxes, and Amazon has withheld and paid 20% of our sales tax on our behalf
At present, this is the busiest period of our business, and the inability to sell has brought us tremendous survival pressure. Our employees and I are currently facing risks to our livelihoods
Unfortunately, we have submitted multiple cases, sent emails, and called customer service, but have yet to receive any solvable solutions or actionable guidance
We can't even know what we did wrong? What are the reasons for our account being suspended?
Therefore, I earnestly request the following:
My issue was intervened by an Amazon verification specialist, rather than automated decision-making.
Any suggestions or experience sharing from other sellers facing this issue
We have invested a lot of time, energy, and resources in selling our products on the Amazon platform. I sincerely hope that Amazon can fairly and quickly resolve this issue, which concerns the livelihoods of dozens of employees in our team
Thanks to everyone
I am posting here to request support and visibility regarding a serious issue with our seller account. For nearly two months, our account has been repeatedly deactivated, reactivated, and reviewed without any clear explanation. We are sharing our experience so other sellers are aware, and we are requesting that Amazon investigate the matter properly.
Timeline of Events
16 October 2025: We received a notice requesting Account Verification. All required documents were submitted immediately.
20 October 2025: We were told our account passed verification, but we still couldn’t withdraw funds.
5 November 2025: Our account was suddenly deactivated without any notice or explanation.
After contacting Amazon, we were told the issue was related to “business establishment.”
Every time we contacted the Account Health Team, we received a different explanation.
14 November 2025: We were informed that our account had been deactivated incorrectly. We were asked for additional documents, which we provided within 24 hours.
27 November 2025: We received a message saying we passed verification again and our account was active.
28 November 2025: We were contacted and told to ignore the previous message with no reason provided. We were told KYC verification was still ongoing.
5 December 2025:
Our entire catalogue and all listings were removed with no explanation.
After several calls, one agent told us that KYC was fully resolved and the issue was “Policy Compliance.”
Another agent later told us KYC was still pending.
On the same day, we were also told that our account was verified and that there appeared to be a technical discrepancy on Amazon’s side that would be investigated. We have not received any update regarding this.
Our Concern
As of today, we still do not have a clear answer on whether the issue is:
KYC verification
Policy Compliance
A technical error
Or a combination of these
What we do know is that we passed KYC verification three times (20 October, 27 November, and 5 December), yet the account remains restricted and our listings removed.
Impact & Request
This has caused serious disruption to our business, and the inconsistent communication from the Account Health and KYC Teams has made it impossible to understand what the real issue is.
We respectfully request:
Clear written confirmation of why our account is deactivated.
Clarification of our KYC status.
An investigation into the technical discrepancy acknowledged on 5 December.
A full review of all actions taken on our account since 16 October.
Restoration of our listings if no valid policy violation exists.
We have attached all correspondence and notices related to this issue.
We are also prepared to escalate this matter further, including raising it with our local Member of Parliament, because no seller should have to face such inconsistent handling or lack of transparency.
We hope this post helps other sellers understand what has happened and encourages Amazon to review these processes more carefully.
Thank you.
Hi,
I need guidance because a potential listing violation by another seller cannot reach the correct internal team.
Two ASINs in the same category clearly describe the same item. Even a quick look at the product pages (15 seconds) shows identical branding, manufacturer, packaging, product label, bullet points and specs.
However, the two ASINs sit in different category paths. Because of this mis-categorisation, the Report Abuse system appears to treat them as unrelated items and automatically closes the submission with “no violation identified” within 30 seconds. (I've reported more than 3 times)
Escalating through a case in Seller Support only routes the issue to the ASIN merge / Brand Registry teams, even though I’m not requesting a merge, but reporting a possible catalogue manipulation or integrity issue. (I've opened at least 2 cases)
This creates an automation loop where a valid PDP concern is never reviewed by the team responsible for catalogue integrity.
Is there an alternative escalation path when automated filters prevent proper review?
(Not sharing ASINs or seller names due to forum rules.)
Thanks.

Hi
The immediate and unannounced deactivation of a business account with in 15 minutes after sending the email can be financially devastating and incredibly frustrating. When this is coupled with a vague initial reason like Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance, After providing all the evidence now exactly 2 months mysteriously transforms into a reference to a platform's internal "Section 3" without any clear explanation, the user is left in a legal and financial limbo.
We even don't know which policy we have violate and keeping the Account health 1000/1000. How know what Amazon wants from us now. Holding a lot of money and no help at all at this time of the year.
If you have experienced this: Share your story. What was the most frustrating part of the process, and what single piece of information or policy change would have made your situation significantly better?
If you are a legal or compliance professional: What are the key regulatory constraints that prevent platforms from being more transparent about KYC/AML flags, and what is the difference in legal standing between an account flagged for non-compliance (KYC) vs. a policy violation (Section 3)?
For several years, I have been a dedicated reseller of Bartoline products on the Amazon Marketplace. Earlier this year, in early 2025, Bartoline was acquired by Tetrosyl. Since June, however, I’ve seen a significant and unexpected decline in sales. After looking into the situation, it has become clear that Tetrosyl is now selling Bartoline products directly on Amazon—at prices that undercut all existing distributors.
This practice inevitably diverts sales away from the very partners who have supported and grown the brand. What makes this even more concerning is that no transparent communication was provided regarding this shift in strategy.
With Tetrosyl listing identical products at 20–30% below the prices that distributors can sustainably offer, it has become impossible for us to compete. This approach places distributors at a severe disadvantage and raises serious questions about the fairness and viability of continuing to support the brand under these conditions.
My store was suspended on December 15, 2023, due to potential intellectual property issues. Even though I submitted documents to Amazon proving I was right, my store remained closed for 5-6 months. I later proved I was right. When I was about to get my money back, a VAT policy change occurred in the UK. And I still couldn't get my money out. Even though I submitted all the evidence confirming my VAT exemption to Amazon, they told me that the date they gave me had passed and that I could now only get my money out with identity verification. I contacted them for identity verification, sent my emails, and went through video identity verification. After that, I easily completed the video identity verification process (since I had already gone through the entire process myself) by explaining each step. And I thought to myself that I would finally get my money. However, Amazon rejected me at this stage too. According to them, I couldn't verify my supply chain. I already have invoices proving where I bought the products I sold, when I bought them, and how much I paid for them. How else could I prove it? I even showed this information during the video call. It is now September 22, 2025, and I still haven't been able to access the funds in my account. I am seeking your assistance in this matter.
I have had enough of Amazon not changing postage fees for over 20 odd years! Id like to see where they can post a CD box set for a ridiculous small charge. Absolute disgrace i am now stopping all my sales on this platform. Amazon are basically ripping off so many sellers. The fees for selling just basic things on here are eye-watering!! Never ever will i sell on this platform again no wonder its a trillion dollar business! At all of our expense! Terrible absolutely terrible. Goodbye Amazon!
Dear ops, can someone here help with ticket 11687770352 ?
Our seasonal bestseller is down, or more precisely - the inventory is "reserved" due to some system error, and we have lost 100,000 EUR so far during peak season.
We have a multivariation listing with 3 different weights of the product - 1kg, 2kg and 3kg. 2kg and 3kg is fine, but 1kg was put into "reserved" and it seems it's too complicated for someone to come to the conclusion that is should not be blocked.
Please can someone escalate this, support on Amazon kills every business and you can no longer speak to a human that can help. What a disaster.
Hi all,
I need help with ASIN B0DD38KXJ2, which has been effectively suppressed and uneditable for months due to an internal Amazon contribution overriding my own.
I am the sole brand owner and sole seller of this product. There are no other offers and this is a private-label item with a unique barcode. I have provided proof of brand ownership, GTIN licence, invoice, and packaging photos multiple times.
The problems:
The listing is suppressed in search (almost no impressions, only ~1–2 views/day even at extremely low pricing).
I cannot update any critical fields (title, images, bullet points, keywords).
Feed files update the backend but do not reflect on the live detail page.
Amazon keeps saying the ASIN is “not eligible for updates” because of a winning internal contribution, but they refuse to purge it.
Support keeps giving copy-and-paste responses, even after 20+ cases.
Every attempt to escalate has been blocked; agents either ignore the request or say that the “system decides,” which is not accurate.
Required action:
I need this case properly escalated to the Amazon Catalog/Contributions team (the team that handles contribution overrides) so they can:
Purge the internal Amazon contribution that is locking the listing.
Restore my seller contribution as the primary contribution.
Reindex the ASIN so it becomes searchable again.
Ensure the detail page becomes editable.
This ASIN has FBA inventory stuck in the warehouse with almost zero visibility, and normal support channels have completely failed to resolve this. I am essentially paying for Amazon to hold stock that cannot be sold.
Any help from a forum moderator or catalog specialist would be greatly appreciated as I ahve completely hit a wall and am at a loss what to do.
Thank you.
