Amazon's standard policy is to allow one Seller Central account per seller. However, in certain cases of legitimate business needs, Amazon may permit sellers to operate multiple selling accounts, without prior approval. If one of these accounts violates an Amazon policy and is deactivated, this could affect the selling ability across all associated accounts.

To resolve this impact, the violation or violations that led to the deactivation of the original account must first be resolved individually. Only when the original account is reactivated, can the secondary account be reactivated.

Accounts can become associated in a few ways:

  1. Access to another account, by the seller or their employees
  2. Use of a third-party account management service
  3. Creating a global account without completing ID verification in a different marketplace

To ensure your account is registered only in the country you wish to sell in, check the countries listed in the store dropdown menu. To do that click on the name of your store in the white bar to the right of the "Amazon Seller Central" logo. This dropdown menu will display all the countries you are currently registered.

When accessing international accounts, review the performance notifications for each marketplace to identify the reason for deactivation. Submit the necessary documentation to reactivate the account that caused the initial deactivation. Once the original account is reactivated, you can request the reactivation of the secondary account.

If you no longer wish to sell in a particular marketplace, you can access Settings, click on "Account Info" and then "Account Management" to request the closure of the unwanted account(s), but only after all associated accounts are active and in good standing.

If any of the above situations have occurred, the original account will need to be reactivated first. After that, you can request the reactivation of your secondary account.

If you have had another account or accessed another account, but no longer own the account or do not have permission to access it, submit an appeal with additional documents proving you are no longer the owner or have any relationship with that account, such as sales deeds, purchase or business transfer contracts, contract termination, and others.

If you are unable to identify the account that caused the deactivation and believe the suspension was made in error, file an appeal and confirm that the account does not belong to you. If it is not possible to confirm that the account is not yours, your account will not be reinstated and you will not be permitted to conduct business on Amazon in the future.

Refer to Amazon's help pages below for more information about multiple accounts on Amazon.

We value your opinion and would be grateful for your feedback. Please share your thoughts on this matter by giving it a thumbs up or down, and feel free to provide any additional comments. Your engagement helps us improve and tailor our content to better serve you. Thank you for taking the time to contribute to our community!

We do not have enough information to remove the violation at this time.) kindly please check attached screen shots and provide me a proper solution.

Hi Amazon,

Please what is going on with our Payments. Why are all the payments being held up in Deferred Transactions despite our Account is in good health? Over the past two payment cycles, we have not received payment for our sales on the platform and the last payments were peanuts which is way less compared to the tens of thousands in Sales we have made. I thought your deferred transaction policy is DT + 7days so why is it that since October till date no useful or substantial payment made despict the spike in sales and velocity so why holding on to the sales proceeds as this has significantly impacted our cash flow and operational capacity. Our account is in good health so we should be getting paid a substantial amount too so we can at least pay our Suppliers too even if we can't pay ourselves for all the hard work done to deliver on customers' orders. We need all these Funds release please as it's already affecting our relationship with our supplier. Amazon should pay up and stop holding on to the funds perpetually as this can be demoralizing for business.

On October 19, 2024, I received an email from Amazon stating that my account was deactivated. The reason given was: "You have been found to be related to an account beginning with Savegram." I called customer service, and they informed me that I have an Amazon seller account on the Japan marketplace. I opened the Japan marketplace account at the same time as my US Amazon seller account, but due to language barriers and other requirements, I didn't list any items or make any sales on the Japan marketplace. This was about three years ago. During this time, I have been processing orders on the US and Canadian marketplaces without any issues. My account was in good standing with no violations. An Amazon customer service representative told me that to reactivate my US Amazon seller account, I must first reactivate my Japan Amazon seller account. To do that, I need to submit documents such as a bill with my address on it, my ID, and a business license. On October 22, 2024, I uploaded my bank statement, energy bill, and business certificate. However, on October 25, 2024, my documents were rejected due to insufficient evidence.I called US customer service, and they advised me to appeal the decision by uploading more information. On October 26, 2024, I submitted my driver's license, bank statement, water bill, and company tax ID. This appeal was also rejected without any notification from the Japan marketplace; the status simply changed to "Our evaluation is complete," but my account remained deactivated. I called US customer service again, and this time they suggested that perhaps I should provide less information. I then submitted another bank statement and my tax ID. Unfortunately, this appeal was also rejected. I called US customer service again, and they escalated the case for review, informing me that it might take up to seven days for a review. This was on October 31, 2024. and I still have not received any responses from Amazon, and my account remains deactivated on the US, Canada, and Japan marketplaces.

At 11/21/2024 I opened another case with Amazon Customer Service in Japan, Case ID # 2909470363 , provided yet another fresh, dated 11/2024 utility bill with my name and address on it and received follow respone from Amazon Japan: "Upon review your account history, unfortunately that we cannot reinstate your account with the documents you submitted. The exact reason is not disclosed to Account Health SupportI need some advice on what to do to reactivate my account."

I have spent a lot of time on the phone with Customer Service and feel that the Amazon customer service representatives lack the knowledge to resolve this situation. I hope to find some good advice here.

PLEASE HELP @Emet_Amazon@ Atlas_Amazon

Im a new seller and I received a letter to verify my 1 item that I sorced legally from a store with a valid receipt. I'm trying to understand why im being picked on when there are 15 other sellers on the same listing. I don't even know if they are real and the fact that they have my personal emails they sent that email to my two personal emails has annoyed me and Amazon has not said anything to me about the listing. I'm trying to figure out how they obtained my personal information. Can anyone tell me what I should do with this? I have told them I don't mind providing a receipt however, I would like to know how they got both of my personal email addresses.

Two years ago, my domestic partner and I each opened separate Amazon Seller accounts to pursue individual e-commerce ventures. His account was created as part of my the wholesale business, which involved a manager handling inventory and sales. My own account, was established to build a private-label brand focused on unique products. While the accounts were opened simultaneously, they were created with completely independent business goals and operations. Soon after opening, both our accounts were deactivated.

Per Amazon instructions: “To reactivate your account, please provide evidence that you once owned the account or had account rights but no longer own it or no longer have account rights by providing supporting documentation. This includes but is not limited to sales deed, purchase agreement, business transfer agreement, or contract termination.”

I continue to send documents explaining this and no action to reactivate was taken. Every message received from Amazon Performance team was to submit the same documents that I've sent several times.

Unfortunately, after facing persistent challenges the accounts were eventually abandoned. My partner made the decision to dissolve his business entirely, and it was formally dissolved with the California Secretary of State. The associated Amazon Seller account went through the account closure process.

To support this, I have sent the certificate of dissolution.

Since his account is no longer operational and has been legally dissolved, I respectfully requested the reactivation of my account. My account is entirely separate, and I am committed to complying with all Amazon Seller policies moving forward.

Response from performance team: “To reactivate your account, please provide evidence that you once owned the account or had account rights but no longer own it or no longer have account rights by providing supporting documentation. This includes but is not limited to sales deed, purchase agreement, business transfer agreement, or contract termination.”

OMG! This is so frustrating!! Please help.

A warning to Amazon
by Seller_z92TJbPv9IR90

This is a warning. I have provided you with evidence by attaching screenshots of the emails you sent me, which prove that my email is the same email that contains the tow store names (Hero Tools Fitness) (Sports&fitness ). As it is the same account, but I have only changed its name. You have disabled my account without any right, and if you insist on not activating it again, I will consider this act deliberate and that you have closed the account to steal my balance. Do not force me to take my right by force. As I knew many loopholes in your weak system. I advise you to activate the account to avoid problems, and when you do, I will transfer my money and close my account, as you are the worst partners and not trustworthy.

Hello Amazonians,

We have seen many threads on the Amazon forums regarding the difficulties of the appeal process (myself included).

We understand the Appeals process is a jungle that we must cut through to find the golden idol of approval, however, there must be a more transparent method of doing these appeals which includes more feedback & communication from the seller.

The appeals process has currently become a three-step procedure:

Step 1: Create your appeal, add all of the information requested, and hope to receive a positive reply

Step 2: Receive the reply - the correspondence is extremely vague and is most likely pointing out key factors in your prior submission that were already present i.e. supply chain proof, tracking proof, etc. You call the Account Health team for clarification, but the representative on the phone will simply repeat the email until the conversation is finished

Step 3: Resubmit the appeal differently, possibly with more detailed information in an attempt to receive a positive reply

Repeat Step 2

Currently, the appeals process feels like a constant losing battle with yourself and the appeals team. No one should truly feel this way when doing their best to do the right thing.

As a business on Amazon - we feel that there should be more communication between the appeals team and the seller when trying to rectify serious issues.

The current appeals process needs work. This is why we've created this thread. We wanted to get feedback and ask the Amazon community to point out any suggestions, questions, or concerns regarding the appeals process.

How do you think we can create a better appeals system?

What do you think is the biggest flaw of the current appeals system?

Do you believe the current appeals system is fair?

Restricted Products violation
by Seller_86G3SlzGr3xau

Case number ID 16694907251

A product got flagged for claiming to cure a disease when it did not, so I appealed the case and support agreed the listing was compliant and could be reinstated. But the violation remains on my account and I am losing the buy box. When I asked why the violation was still there support stated it would be there for 180 days, which makes zero sense considering I won my appeal. Please help as this is not fair for a case to be resolved and my sales to be affected like this for doing nothing wrong.
