Amazon's priority is to give our Customers the best service possible, and we're always striving to raise the bar. For that reason, we work with the best Service Providers in the market that meet the performance targets. In case you fail to meet these targets, it might negatively affect your account and/or the number of jobs assigned to you, and it can even result in the suspension of your selling privileges. Although these targets are the foundation for good service, we encourage our Providers to excel in their performance as an opportunity to earn more jobs on Amazon.

We evaluate your performance against these Service Level requirements and give you visibility to these metrics. If your selling privileges have been suspended or blocked due to failure to meet service level requirements, you can appeal the decision by submitting a reply to the suspension message in Your Case Log, including an improvement action plan. Your suspension notification may also indicate a reinstatement date, and your account will be reinstated after that date without any action on your part. If your suspension notification has no reinstatement date or indicates a permanent suspension, you are required to submit an improvement plan in order to be considered for reinstatement at Amazon's discretion.
