Amazon Suspension Section 3
 

So I have a legit Amazon seller account with all my information on there, no ghost/stealth account. All legit.

I've had my account for about 3 months and in the last 2 weeks I've done almost £1000 in sales.

I received an email from Amazon yesterday saying my account has been deactivated due to a violation of section 3 and they need some validation of the 3 products before I can start selling again.

I had 3 products listed under other peoples brands which I didn't understand was against Amazons rules and Amazon has only asked for the information of those 3 items. But only 1 of the items has had sales which equate to around £100.

So I sent over an appeal stating how I didn't understand Amazon's rules at the time of listing and also only 1 eBay receipt from the purchase of sold items. I also said I will be spending the next week with my head in loads of books and courses to help me understand how to sell on Amazon without using others' brands. I've also told them I've taken down all the listings which infringe others brands.

If any of you have any experience with this suspension, please provide any information you have on how to get my account back.

I have almost £1000 on hold in my account and really need it.

Not true, just dont say you didnt know!! Ignorance of their rules is not an excuse. Tell them how you will NOT break rules in future. I sold 2 items that were copyrighted and appealed 10 times and was turned down. The 11th time I sent in an appeal and did not mention I "didnt know" but provided enough evidence I would not violate rules in future and was reinstated. Took one year.

So what's wrong with my above reply??? So you mean to say simply he write to AZ that he read their policies and will not break in future....
This is a joke....

With AZ even if they removed item in error does not matter customer needs to accept that he is at fault plus provide invoices etc to prove the authenticity of the item with detailed action plan why its happen and what action taken so this will not happen again

Their email explain all this

Did you end up getting reinstated?

Re: Amazon Suspension Section 3
 

how long does amazon take to respond to appeals? been 2 weeks and no reply from them yet, should i continue to submit more appeals？

Re: Amazon Suspension Section 3
 

They were super slow last few months, some could take up to 8 weeks.

usually if it takes over a week it means they aren't approving the appeal.

But now who knows.

I'd send them an email asking them if they got everything they need and all is good.
