Hello everyone,
I am an independent Amazon seller primarily selling posters. Two months ago, I posted here asking for advice on handling negative feedback. I never expected that my next post would be about my account being suspended.
Amazon informed me that my account is linked to another account, but I have no connection to it. I have been selling on Amazon for over a year and always operated my store independently.
After receiving the suspension notice, I reviewed everything—my network environment, registration details, and payment information—but I still can't figure out what might have caused this issue. I have never changed or updated any of my store’s information. The only recent change I made was last week, when due to unexpected shipping issues, I temporarily added a U.S. fulfillment warehouse address. I’m not sure if this triggered the account linkage.
My products mainly consist of posters. Some are public domain oil paintings sourced from Wikipedia, some are educational classroom decor posters I designed myself, and others are customized gift posters, such as personalized map posters and lunar phase posters for couples. Over the past year, I have been committed to running my store properly, fulfilling every order, and engaging with fellow sellers.
I had planned to continue growing on this platform, but now that my account is suspended, I’m not sure if there’s any hope of recovery. I have already submitted an appeal, but I have no idea if it will be successful. I also wanted to ask if anyone here has successfully reinstated their account after being suspended due to an alleged connection with an unknown account. Or, if reinstatement isn’t possible, what do you think is the best next step?
I appreciate any advice and am grateful for the support I’ve found in this forum. No matter what happens, this has been a journey worth remembering.
