Hello Community Manager,
I’m reaching out because my post was locked by @TaylorR_Amazon before my issue was resolved. I
believe the discussion was closed prematurely, as I’m still experiencing the same problem and haven’t
received a proper solution.
Could you please review my account and the related posts to look into this situation? I would appreciate
it if you could reopen the discussion or ensure the issue is properly addressed.
Thank you for your time and understanding.

Hello @Indy_Amazon, I hope you can help me.My seller account was deactivated on October 26, 2025, due to an intellectual property issue. I have appealed several times and have been unable to reactivate it. I fully accept the decision.
However, I still have FBA inventory in Amazon warehouses and no longer have access to the "Create Deletion Order" option. Because my account is deactivated, I cannot contact Seller Support or open any FBA cases; only the "Restore Your Account" option is available.
I urgently need help to **destroy** all of my remaining FBA inventory so that I am no longer charged storage fees. Here are the details:
- **ASIN:** B0FBH89WBS – 177 units (reserved)
- **ASIN:** B0CXT4PYQ8 – 1 unit (under investigation)
[moderator edit: removed personal data]
I kindly request that you escalate this matter to the **FBA Inventory Removals/Adjustments team** or provide me with the next step to complete the destruction request.
Thank you very much for your time and support. I appreciate any help you can provide.

I'll start promoting as soon as you let me send in my Q4 inventory.
