Hello,
I’m very confused about the deactivation of my account. I’m a new seller and currently working on getting my watch battery compliance approved. However, I received this message from Amazon, and I’m unclear about what they are requesting. I’ve already sent my inventory to their warehouses, and this brand is FBA, so I’m not sure what the issue is. I’ve called customer service several times, but I haven’t received helpful support, which is extremely frustrating. Has anyone else gone through this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Your Amazon.com seller account has been deactivated and your listings have been removed in accordance with section 3 of the Amazon Business Solutions Agreement. Please continue to ship open orders to avoid further impact to your account. Funds will not be transferred to you but will be held in your account while we work with you to address this issue.
Why did this happen?
We have taken this measure because we found that you have violated our Drop Shipping policy:

Sellers are not allowed to use drop-shipping to fulfill orders without meeting the following criteria:
-- Have an agreement with your supplier that they will identify you and no one else as a seller of your products on all packing slips, invoices, external packaging, and other information included or provided in connection with the products.
-- Remove any packing slips, invoices, external packaging, or other information identifying a third-party drop-shipper prior to shipping the order.
-- Be responsible for accepting and processing customer returns of your products.
