Hi,
I am brand new seller and have been recently suspended (pre-sales, pre-stock). I’ve gone through the possible reasons for my suspension and the only reason I can think of is the deletion of my first “Shipping Plan” and the delayed shipping of my new shipping plan.
This is the first notice:
Hello,
We are reviewing your Amazon.com seller account. During our review, you will not be able to sell on Amazon.com.
Please ship any open orders. If you have any funds in your account, they will be available after any amounts paid for A-to-Z claims or chargebacks on your orders have been deducted. This usually takes about 90 days, but funds may be held longer.

These documents must be authentic and unaltered. You may remove pricing information, but the rest of the document must be visible.

Unfortunately I don’t have the utility bill under my company or personal name. I did send them Corporate documents and a personal credit card statement. Amazon then asked us for a Plan of action to resolve our account issues.
Our response:
Hi,
I am writing in regards to reactivating our account, we understand that the deletion of the Shipping Plan lead to our account being suspended.
ROOT CAUSE:
When we created the Original Shipping Plan, we anticipated that our products would be ready to ship soon after. Unfortunately our products did not pass inspection and therefore was delayed. Because we didn’t know how long it would take to replace the defective product we deleted the Original Shipment thinking this would be more efficient. We realize now that was a mistake. We assured by our supplier that our products would be ready by the end of April. Unfortunately it took a few months for our supplier to fix the issue.ACTIONS TO RESOLVE:
Our first inspection entailed investigating a smaller percentage of the product that unfortunately lengthened our timeline. We’ve implemented a new inspection process that checks 100% of the units before packing to guarantee that unexpected defects and setbacks will not arise again.ACTIONS TO PREVENT:
In the future we will only create a Shipping Plan after our products clear full inspection to ensure accurate timing. We included a copy of our inspection report for reference.
After sending my plan of action I received a generic email that was exactly same as the original suspension notice requesting the same documents (utility bill, business licence etc). This has me a bit worried, as I don’t know if I am supposed to take any further action or wait for a reply. Anyone have similar problems or advice?
Thanks!
