Deactivation for linked account: it's the SAME account
My personal account was deactivated because of a linked account but the linked account is the same account (with a slightly different spelling but I imagine that's because Amazon doesn't like names with a space very much. My real account name is TS France).
Apart from that, I have no Policy Violation Warnings, no Product Compliance Requests or anything I can think that could explain it.
How would you write an appeal letter? Would it need need to be a plan of actions? What sort of actions would make sense in this context?

Technically you own TWO accounts. You created the TS+ account and this account vioalated the policies and was suspended. Then you thought to just create a new account an restart again. That is not possible how you see now.
Now, you have to log in again in this old account and fix it, otherwise you new TS account will not be activated. They write "Please follow the instructions in the communication received for that account." Search this old email and follow the instructions.

Hello @Seller_PEsI1sc579orw,
My personal account was deactivated because of a linked account but the linked account is the same account (with a slightly different spelling but I imagine that's because Amazon doesn't like names with a space very much. My real account name is TS France).
Apart from that, I have no Policy Violation Warnings, no Product Compliance Requests or anything I can think that could explain it.
Thank you for reaching out about your account deactivation situation. I understand this must be frustrating, especially given that you don't see any obvious policy violations or compliance issues. We appreciate your commitment to resolving this matter.
You've asked how to write an appeal letter and whether a plan of action is necessary. Let's address these questions, but first, we need to gather more information to ensure we're on the right track.
Given the details you've shared about a "linked account," we'd like to kindly request that you check if you have accounts in different marketplaces. This is important to identify the deactivation reason and how to help you the best way.
To check if you have a global account and if one of your accounts was deactivated:
- Login to your Seller Central.
- Look at the top left corner, to the right of the Amazon Seller Central logo.
- Hover your mouse over the white dropdown menu.
- Check if more countries are listed.
If you find multiple marketplaces, please review the performance notifications in each of them to see if one was deactivated and what steps are needed for a reactivation.
Should you need more in-depth assistance, please send me a case number from your communication with Seller Support about this issue. This will allow us to communicate with them for more targeted help.
Regarding your account name, you're correct, the system often handles spaces in names by using alternative characters. The "+" you mentioned is indeed commonly used to represent a space.
As for writing an appeal or plan of action, this will depend on the specific reason for the deactivation. Once you've checked your global accounts and identified if this is the issue, your appeal should focus on reinstating your global account first.

I’m dealing with the same issue.
After selling on Amazon for four years, I just discovered that another account was automatically created when I first signed up for Seller Central.
Amazon UK deactivated my account because I didn’t submit the required documents for Amazon Payments verification.
The very next day, my Amazon US account was suspended as well. I’ve already sent an appeal to Amazon UK with all the necessary documents, but I’m still waiting for a response.
Has anyone been able to resolve this? Would love to hear your experience!
Wishing everyone a great day! ❤️
