Watch: Key 2025 Code of Conduct Updates (60-sec Short)

What Is the Amazon Seller Code of Conduct?

The Seller Code of Conduct is Amazon’s ethical rulebook. It demands accurate listings, fair competition, and respect for intellectual property. Breaching any provision can trigger immediate suspension—or worse, a permanent marketplace ban.

Key Principles You Must Follow

Act fairly; never exploit Amazon tools or systems
Avoid review manipulation or incentives
Respect intellectual property rights
Fulfill orders on-time and per policy
Operate only one seller account per region (unless Amazon approves otherwise)
Do not send unsolicited marketing messages to customers

Top Violations Leading to Suspensions

Inaccurate listings: misleading titles, images, or descriptions
Review manipulation: paying for reviews or offering incentives
IP infringement: trademark or copyright violations
Multiple accounts: owning more than one without written approval
Restricted products: listing banned or pre-approval items

Proactive Compliance Strategies

Keep listings accurate and updated
Respond to customer issues quickly to reduce negative feedback
Check your Account Health Dashboard weekly
Source only from authorized distributors
Enroll in Amazon Brand Registry for IP protection

What to Do If You’re Suspended

Draft a precise Plan of Action (root cause › corrective steps › preventive measures)
Submit your appeal via Seller Central’s Performance Notifications
Track responses and revise your POA if requested

Amazon Suspension FAQ (2025)

How fast can Amazon suspend my account for Code violations?

Suspensions can occur immediately when Amazon detects a serious violation such as review manipulation or IP infringement. Lesser infractions may trigger warnings first.

Can I use multiple seller accounts if they’re in different product categories?

No. Amazon allows only one seller account per region unless you obtain prior written permission.

What percentage of sellers succeed in appeals?

Success depends on a data-driven Plan of Action addressing root causes. Our firm’s tailored POAs have achieved favorable outcomes for hundreds of sellers.

Stay Ahead of Future Policy Changes

Amazon updates its policies continuously. Bookmark the Code of Conduct page, follow Seller Central announcements, and train your team on new rules to avoid costly mistakes.
