Amazon suspends multiple or related accounts
The good news is that Amazon no longer requires advance permission to open a second seller account. The bad news is that every time you make a change in seller central, your seller account undergoes a data match review and Amazon is still suspending sellers for related accounts. And, with this change in policy, they have made appealing related accounts even more complicated. But don't worry, we're here to help you navigate the changes and appeal Amazon if your accounts got suspended. Contact us for your free consultation today.
Amazon's Policy on Related Accounts Has Changed​
|
If you have received the message, "Your seller account has been suspended for being related to another account that cannot be used to sell on our site," it is likely that during their review they have matched your data to another seller account.
This can happen for many reasons, including you previously had a seller account, someone in your household or former household had a seller account, if you have had an employee with a seller account, or even if you used a public Wifi to access your seller central dashboard. Your account can be suspended, and it can take months to obtain a reinstatement. What to do if Your Account is Suspended as a Related Account? If your account is suspended, don’t try to appeal the suspension yourself. Call an expert. Only about 60% of these cases succeed, so it is important to give Amazon a solid plan of action. Don’t trust a template or a non-attorney supervised service. Call an Amazon sellers lawyer. If you are interested in an Amazon related account appeal, our fixed fee is $950, which includes unlimited revisions and escalations to higher management.
