I received the initial email from Amazon February 8th 2024

I have submitted numerous appeals, and even a re verification call but the person at amazon that I did that verification call with was questioning my ownership and operation of my business based mostly on the fact that my business registered address is a virtual address.

I have submitted documentation proving my supply chain on the asin in question, from Essendant. As well as documentation for all other asins in my store. ( a few were arbitrage from walmart, maybe 4 asins arbitraged.)

I am now stuck in a loop of submitting appeals over and over again and them being denied and I am losing my business. I am requesting Amazon’s help here to please help me resolve this issue. I have reviewed Amazon’s policy, and I am not quite sure what I have done wrong to be permanently banned unless they wanted me to have direct proof from the brand owner.

Amazon, please help me with this. I am determined to do whatever is needed in order to resolve this issue, and prevent it from ever happening again.

Why is this happening?

We have taken these measures because we believe that your account is offering items that are unsuitable and may have been used to engage in deceptive or illegal activity that harms our customers, other selling partners, and our store.

How do I reactivate my account?

To reactivate your account, send the following documentation issued within the last 365 days:

-- Supply chain documentation, such as invoices or receipts, for the inventory that you have listed on your account. This is required to verify the ownership of the products listed on the Amazon store. The documentation must include the following information:

--> Supplier information such as name, phone number, address, or website, and item descriptions

--> Item quantities. Pricing information may be removed, but the rest of the document must be visible.

Note: You may highlight or circle the ASINs under review for easier review. Highlighting ASINs or removing the pricing information is not considered an alteration of the document.

-- Import or export documents when applicable, bills of lading, commercial invoices, and packing lists

-- Authorization letter from the brand owner or brand letters that authorize you to use a trademark, design, patent, or copyright

-- Document supporting that the supplier is authorized by the brand owner

-- Licensing agreement

-- Order confirmation receipts if the items are purchased online

-- Business registration documents

You should only send PDF, JPG, PNG, or GIF files. These documents must be authentic and unaltered.

How do I send the required information?

Submit this information to scram-appeals@amazon.com or by following the instructions in the banner at the top of your "Account Health Dashboard" page:

What happens if I do not send the requested information?

If you do not provide a valid appeal or choose not to appeal, the account will remain inactive, and your inventory may be disposed of in accordance with the Unsuitable Inventory Investigations Policy.

Has your account been deactivated in error?

If you believe there has been an error and the products under review are suitable and permitted for sale on Amazon, submit valid evidence or documentation demonstrating that your account has not violated the policies listed previously, and we will investigate. If we confirm that your products do not violate our policies, we will reactivate your seller privileges and release the inventory and funds restrictions upon the completion of our review.

Subsequent emails are basically all the same as below, and this one is the last I received after my previous submission and re verification call:

Dear Seller,

We received your submission but we are unable to reactivate your account. We have also reviewed the provided information regarding the inventory and determined that you have provided invoices from an un-verifiable supplier.

Additionally, the associated inventory may be disposed in accordance with the "Unsuitable Inventory Investigations Policy". Our policy can be found here: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/GH4YYXNDRW9BSZEN.

Why is this happening?

Your Amazon seller account has been deactivated in accordance with section 3 of Amazon Business Solutions Agreement.
