Why Amazon suspends accounts
Common triggers we see in Amazon cases:
- Order Defect Rate, Late Shipment Rate or Pre-fulfillment Cancel Rate outside Amazon's published targets
- Intellectual property complaints: trademark, copyright, patent or counterfeit allegations
- Inauthentic item complaints where invoices or supply chain documents are requested
- Seller identity or business verification failures, including mismatched documents
- Related-account findings linking you to a previously deactivated account
- Product safety, restricted product or listing policy violations
- Review manipulation or incentivized review findings
What your Amazon notice usually means
“Your Amazon selling privileges have been deactivated”
The account cannot sell. Funds are usually held while the appeal is open. The notice names the policy area and what Amazon wants to see.
“Your account is at risk of deactivation”
Your Account Health Rating has dropped into the At Risk band. There is still time to act before a deactivation.
“We have received a report of intellectual property infringement”
A rights owner has filed a complaint. The fastest route is often a retraction from the complainant, where the facts support one.
“Supply chain documentation requested”
Amazon wants invoices that tie your stock to a verifiable source. Receipts and marketplace purchases rarely pass.
Wording varies. Search more phrases in the Suspension Notice Decoder.
The official route
- Open Account Health in Seller Central and read every linked policy and the exact request.
- Identify the true root cause from your order data, listings, supplier records and account history.
- Submit the appeal through Account Health (Reactivate your account) with a Plan of Action and supporting documents.
- Respond to follow-up requests in the same case thread, answering precisely what was asked.
Evidence that carries weight
- Supplier invoices with matching business names, addresses and quantities
- Letters of authorization and brand authorization, where relevant
- Order-level data showing corrective action was taken
- Updated internal procedures (SOPs) and staff training records
- Identity and business registration documents that match the account exactly
Held funds
Amazon typically holds a deactivated account's balance while an appeal is open. If the account is not reinstated, the remaining balance is handled under the Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement, which is why the disbursement request and the appeal should be planned together.

Amazon reinstatement FAQs
What makes an Amazon Plan of Action succeed?
Specificity. Seller Performance looks for the root cause in your operation, the corrective actions already taken, and preventive measures that stop it happening again. Generic apologies and promises are the most common reason appeals are rejected.
Should I submit a new appeal after a rejection?
Not immediately. Each rejection adds to the case history. Read the reply, work out what was missing, and only resubmit when you can add something materially new.
Can you help with an IP complaint rather than a full deactivation?
Yes. Many IP cases are best resolved by a retraction from the rights owner or by proving authenticity. We prepare the approach and the documents; where a legal dispute exists, you should involve an attorney.
What is a Plan of Action for Amazon?
A short, specific document with three parts: the root cause of the problem in your operation, the corrective actions already completed, and the preventive measures that stop it recurring. It is supported by documents Amazon can verify.
Will my Amazon listings and reviews come back after reinstatement?
Usually the account returns with its history, but listings can need to be reactivated or corrected one by one. Check inventory, pricing and listing status as soon as access returns.
Can a related account get me suspended on Amazon?
Yes. Marketplaces link accounts through shared details such as addresses, payment methods, devices and people. If the link is wrong or innocent, the appeal needs to explain the relationship with evidence.
Are you affiliated with Amazon?
No. We are an independent case preparation service. We have no special access to Amazon, no internal contacts, and we do not claim otherwise. Every submission goes through the official route Amazon provides to account holders.
Can you guarantee my Amazon account will be reinstated?
No one can honestly guarantee a platform decision. What we control is the quality of the diagnosis, the evidence and the written response. We tell you at the review stage if we think the case is weak, and why.
How long does Amazon take to review an appeal?
Amazon sets its own review times and they vary with the case type and volume. What we control is preparation: our initial analysis is completed within 24 to 48 hours of intake once we have your notice and documents.
Can I appeal to Amazon myself instead of using a service?
Yes. Every account holder can use the official route, and our guides explain how. People come to us when the stakes are high, when appeals are limited, or when a first appeal has already been rejected and they need to know what was missing.
What should I send you to start a Amazon case?
The full notice text, screenshots of the account status, any appeals already sent and the replies, and the records that relate to the issue. Never send passwords or one-time codes: we do not need them.
My Amazon appeal was already rejected. Is it too late?
Not always. A rejection tells you what the reviewer did not accept. We read it against the original notice and your data to find the gap, and we tell you honestly whether a further submission is worth making.
Will you log in to my Amazon account?
We prefer not to. New logins from unfamiliar locations can trigger further security flags. You stay in control and submit through your own account while we guide each step.
