Common Policy Violations Causing Amazon Seller Suspension

1. Many new sellers wish to start selling big brands and source the products from local retailers, or unreliable sources. This is a huge mistake. Amazon considers the sale of counterfeit items seriously and can deactivate your seller account right away. The proper thing to do is to either contact a brand directly or their authorized distributors. This way you will be able to confirm a healthy supply chain and will have official commercial invoices and authorization letters.
2. With regard to policy violations not being addressed on time, or even ignored, many sellers nowadays create their seller accounts and, if they make a mistake during the verification process, they just create a new seller account under a different email. This is also a huge mistake. You cannot start out fresh after a failed verification. All deactivated accounts are saved in Amazon’s database and may cause deactivation issues for your future account.
