Hello, i am a new seller on Amazon (2 month).
On the first week , i had this notification about restricted product removal and they told me i have to delete this listing within 48 hours, so i did.
As i saw dozens of sellers selling the same product, i decided to take new pictures and to relist it, and i had not problems since. Unfortunatly , this morning , i get the same notification for 3 of my other products... so i deleted all my listing.
so please , give me advice :
- how many of this notifications will i get before seeing my account suspended ?
- would it be safer to close my account by myself now and open a new one in few days ?
- how is it possible other sellers sell the same products for several years without having their account suspended ?
I hope some of you can help me , and please be kind, i know i'm a newbie... |
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!

You won't get many more, if you don't want to lose that account you better stop listing it. If you don't mind getting your account blocked, then keep re-listing. Also, when you receive warnings like this, how will you appeal that if you get suspended. You are likely
to lose the account permanently if you get suspended.
The other sellers may have been approved to sell the item or are just getting lucky.

You're not from the US, so Amazon suspects you're dealing out phakes. Maybe it's not right, but that's what they assume.
You're going to have a lot of problems on Amazon, I'm afraid.

Stealth is the answer. But don't just close this account. You can STILL sell other things on it. Even if you don't have anything to list at the moment, you should try to keep it if at all possible. Amazon is tightening up their security measures and stealth accounts for Amazon are becoming more rare. So you want to hold on to them if you can.

But this doesn't resolve the OP's issue. He lives in Thailand. THAT'S why his listings are being removed.
And, no offense to the OP, but I'm 99% sure whatever you're selling probably IS phake, as Thailand and China are where most phakes come from.

Tooknapa, you need a VPN based in the US from say 123 who has good deals and a excellent service.

well, if you sell the f.ake hotness, you will just be suspended every time. everything else is pointless.
if other sellers do it, then emulate them because they sure aren't going to help you. nothing is going to make you invincible

| The issue is not the country, it is because the product i sell is not allowed by Amazon policy. It is 100% genuine, not phake, and is see many Thai seller selling this , they have good feedback since more than 1 year ... Quote:

Set everything up stealth in the US. I was not aware amazon payments could be made direct into a Thai bank account. Only HK banks in Asia accept amazon payments to best of my knowledge.

Read the forum, its very easy to set up a US based account for amazon.

My bad. I assumed they would pick that up pretty quick.
But anyways, follow Mickys advice, 99% sure the issue is your country, not the product, OP

Ok , i want to try the US amazon account but i have two question :
- the "Billing Postal Code" for the "charge method" will be located in Thailand, so, do I have to buy an AVS Amazon card ?
- I looked for it on the forum , but i can't find how to get a US number phone, I assume that i can't use a Thai number, Right ?
and sorry , i have one more question , my name is in Thai (something like this : อเมซอน) does it matter ?
thanks again

thanks again | I would reccomend buying a card. You don't nessesarily have to purchase from the forum, but if you want to appear to be a US person to Amazon, you'll need everything in order.
Name will be stealth, i.e. made up, so your real name doesn't matter.
You will need to start a NEW stealth account for this, however.
Not sure how to get the phone #. Try Google.
Best of luck! | The Following User Says Thank You to GhostOfAmazon For This Useful Post: | |

BTW, not saying 100% that the Country is the issue....but that's my guess. There are a LOT of phakes made in Thailand. I don't know statistics, but suffice it to say that if it comes from Thailand, it's suspected of being phake.
You're probably 100% legit, but Amazon doesn't know you from the drug dealers in Cambodia, so they're going to make assumptions based on the worst stereotypes.
