Hello, I’ve been here for 4 years.
I was selling some home improvement products for years and some months ago I applied and got permission to sell in the health category (US Marketplace).
As I enrolled in the FBA Remote North America program, I applied yesterday to sell in the health category in the Canadian marketplace and submitted the invoice and images of the products, as requested.
The invoice was submitted in the PDF format (it was in word and had to export as pdf as usually docx files aren’t accepted).
Before I copy the email I received, please take into account the following details:
Here is the copy of the email I got today:
Hello,
Your Amazon selling account has been deactivated. Your listings have been removed. We are withholding any funds available in your account. If you have FBA inventory of the items causing “inauthentic” complaints, they are currently ineligible for removal.
Why is this happening?
You have supplied documentation to Amazon which appears to be forged or manipulated. We previously requested these documents from you to address concerns about your account. All requested documents must be authentic and unaltered.
How do I reactivate my account?
To reactivate your selling account, please send us one of the following:
– An explanation that justifies why you provided documentation which appears to be forged or manipulated; or
– Evidence that demonstrates that the documents you provided are not forged or manipulated
You can only send .pdf, .jpg, .png, or .gif files.
How do I send the required information?
Please submit this information by clicking the Appeal button next to this message on the Performance Notifications page in Seller Central
[End of email]
My questions to all of you:
I have not answered yet as I preferred some advice before making everything worse.
Thank you very much

This is s duplicate thread except for that fact that you took out the “medical products” part.
Hi @Pluton_Inc,
Sophie from Amazon here.
I understand that your account has been suspended for providing forged, or manipulated documentation and would like to provide assistance on this matter.
Would it be possible for you to request for invoice from your supplier in .pdf, .jpg, .png, or .gif format instead? This is to ensure that all documents and information stays as original and unaltered as possible.
Your appeal should be based off your account’s actual situation. If these documents are indeed legitimate as you have shared, I would encourage you to provide additional documents to support your claims. Since you have earlier mentioned that you are an official distributor, are you also able to provide an authorization letter from the brand stating so?
When submitting invoices, do also take note of the below requirements:
Include supplier information (name, contact info, website, etc.)
Include your information
Show item quantities
Not be older than 365 days
Be submitted in PDF, JPG, PNG, or GIF files
Once you have these documents ready, you can proceed to submit them via the appeal button on your account health dashboard (AHD) for a review. You will then be notified of the outcome once the review is completed.
I hope this provided some clarification on what you can do next. If you need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to reply to this thread.
Best,
Sophie (苏菲)
I’m posting my POA, in case someone has the time to review and give back feedback.
The root cause of the issue that led to the suspension is that I uploaded documentation to Amazon which appears to be forged or manipulated.
More specifically, I naively exported to pdf the invoice that I received from my supplier, that was originally in docx format, because I could not upload a docx file to Amazon.
I accept that it was my mistake not to ask my supplier to send me the pdf file and I should not have changed the format myself.
The actions I have taken to resolve the issue are the following:
The steps you have taken to prevent the issue going forward are the following:
I kindly ask you to reinstate my selling privileges,
Best regards
Got this answer less than 10 hours later, I simply don’t understand!

Hi, still pending.
Sent several appeals that were rejected, but now I’m waiting for them to conclude a review.
Will try to update when I get more news.
The POA is not very different from what I posted weeks ago. It was the documents what caused the rejection. Since I import those items from Mexico, I submitted a parallel Mexican invoice that was created when the export took place. Hopefully they will accept that one. Also a Letter of Authorization from the brand owner may be needed.
If you were suspended I will suggest you to seek help. Do not waste appeals. @Oneida_Book has much more experience.
