Suspension triggered by excessive negative feedback, A-to-Z claims, or chargebacks affecting customer satisfaction.
Inauthentic Complaints
Amazon may flag listings if invoices don’t sufficiently verify a product’s authenticity or source, even when the products themselves are genuine.
Intellectual Property Infringement
Claims involving alleged copyright, trademark, patent, or
counterfeit violations.
Related Accounts
Amazon may suspend sellers for operating multiple
accounts without a legitimate business need or for having accounts linked to previously suspended accounts.
Restricted Products
Listings containing prohibited items, such as medical devices or non-compliant pesticides.
Review/Sales Rank Manipulation
Attempts to influence customer reviews or boost sales rank through incentives or deceptive practices.
Section 3 Violations
Amazon may immediately suspend or terminate your
account under Section 3 for issues such as fraudulent activity, harming other sellers or customers, or poor account health.
Seller Code of Conduct
Amazon may suspend sellers who violate its Code of Conduct, including engaging in abusive, deceptive, or harmful behavior on the platform.
Used Products Sold as New
Suspension results from selling returned, repackaged, or damaged items listed as new.
Verifications
Amazon may suspend or delay account activity if a seller fails to complete identity, tax, or document verification when requested.
