Amazon suspension, please help!
 

This is the message I’ve received today after sending all of my invoices and plan of action to them several times. Can someone please help?

Hello,

You have not provided us with a viable plan of action. As a result, you can no longer sell on Amazon.co.uk and your offers have been removed from that site. A temporary hold has been placed on any funds from your Amazon.co.uk sales.

We encourage you to resolve any pending orders. Any amounts paid for A-to-z Guarantee claims or chargebacks may be deducted from the funds in your account.

Most holds are removed within 90 days, but funds may be held longer. For example, claims or chargebacks on your orders could extend the hold beyond 90 days.

Once the hold is removed, any remaining funds will be available per your settlement schedule. Balance and settlement information will be available in the Payments section of Seller Central. If you have questions about these funds, please write to payments-investigate@amazon.co.uk.

If you want to appeal this decision, please follow this link: https://sellercentral.amazon.co.uk/cu/contact-us.
Sincerely,

Seller Performance Team

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

THere's still an appeal link in the bottom that you can do that.

What's the plan of action you gave them so far?
Because obviously they are not liking that.

@OP, SaiJin is on your case right now so let her mentor you well - you'll get through the process but in case of failure, best to get other accounts going as backup

PLAN OF ACTION
I understand that the root cause of this problem is i have had complaints of authenticity from my buyers regarding my avon skin so soft dry oil body spray. The problem that i have identified is that avon print other languages on their bottles, this is because they need to cater for other than just english speaking customers. They do also print english on them.

To resolve this I have removed the affected listing from my inventory and I have updated my product information in the description to include how the customer is to peel the label to reveal instructions to keep them well informed so it will ensure there is never another complaint.
In future orders i will include information on how to peel a label to reveal all product information in all languages and also include my Avon representative information so they can see i am one of Avons leading UK representatives.

The actions i have taken will keep the complaints from recurring, customers will be able to see how to get all the product information they need and they will also be able to see I am one of Avons leading uk sellers. I have reviewed all my listings to make sure they comply with Amazon policies and I will continue to monitor my listings to make sure they continue to comply. I have reviewed all of my inventory to ensure products are accurately described.

To resolve this issue i have always offered the customer a full refund or offer them any other solution to their needs.
My products are always and will always be stored in the correct climates for their needs.
All appropriate steps have been taken and quality checks made to ensure that enough packaging is used to pack my products carefully and securely. And all orders are always and will always be shipped on time.

I have always purchased all of my inventory from a genuine supplier (Avon) and will always continue to do so in the future.
I do and will always regular inspect my inventory to make sure it always complies with amazon policies and that my products are all accurately described and always in original packaging.


Above is what i've sent plus all my invoices showing me buying them. they are all legit items and account.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

POA seems completely viable to me. You've been wronged..

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Ok, so first off it's a beauty / health product. Second it's Avon.

The authenticity complaints, do you know how many of these you got?

And that plan of action seems good to me, plus invoices too....
But I don't think I see anywhere mentioning that the items are authentic from your end.
You need to make it clear.

Get an email or certificate from Avon with your name on it proving that it's legitimate and give that to amazon. Tell them that THIS is proof that you are authentic and your customers are idiots.... well leave the last part out.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

I got two complaints within a few weeks of each other (makes me think it’s a competitor) ok I will try and get something from Avon, hopefully they will help. Thanks for your help, it’s so flustrating when you have done nothing wrong but Amazon are not listening.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Have they requested for additional invoices or does it appear like they have accepted them and only want a POA?

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

The one before last email just said that my poa was not viable, so they seemed to of accepted my invoices. Yes.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

I truly understand how you feel. But we hacve to get used to this.

So did you say they accepted the invoices from you or are they asking them and you are preparing right now?

Make sure you give them everything.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

They haven’t said they have accepted the invoices but the last time they didn’t ask for the invoices again, like they did before they just asked for my poa again.
I have appealed, I’ve sent them all invoices and poa just waiting now to see what they come back with. I went to Avon head office yesterday, they have given me a signed certificate.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

you'd want to give that to them asap. That signed certificate is important.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

I’ve heard nothing from amazon, I’ve contacted them twice, they just email me saying they are looking into my account. Should I email Jeff? If so what to I send him?

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

I just received the email that my account is being reviewed. Best bet is just to give it some time.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Hope it works out :)

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Hi, recently I got suspended by Amazon due to selling in-authentic auto parts. Now I have been back and forth with the Appeal and they always reply with the following :
Your plan does not sufficiently address the complaints we received about your listings. To be sufficient, your plan must include:


-- The issue that caused the complaint
-- Steps you have taken to resolve the complaint
-- How you will prevent similar complaints

Any suggestion what should be my response ? is there any hope of getting my account back.
First, they asked for invoices which I provided, they didn't mention invoices in their last messages. What should I do?

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

This is exactly what happened to my account, I had to appeal again, now waiting for a reply, it’s been 6 days since the last appeal, 3 weeks in total!! If you’ve done nothing wrong kept trying, they cannot do this to our businesses, it’s not fair.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

They will answer you quicker if you call seller support and ask them about the issue. They will "escalate" the appeal. Seems to usually work for me.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Any solution? They accepted invoices but won’t accept my plan of action even professionally written

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

I sent my appeal on the 25th sept and have still not heard anything, is this normal???

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Give it the full 30 days if you don't hear anything by then, you can try giving them a call to escalate the issue, or sending them another msg

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

I’ve now received this from amazon, I’m going round in circles with them!!

Any suggestions will be welcome?

Hello,

We still need more information about your plan to address inauthentic complaints.

Please reply to this email with a plan that explains:
-- The issue that caused the complaint
-- Steps you have taken to resolve the complaint
-- How you will prevent similar complaints

Here are a few things to consider as you work on resolving this:
--Sourcing: Are you sourcing the product from a trusted supplier?
--Listing: Is the product accurately described on Amazon? Have you ensured that there is no ambiguity and the customer is well informed?
--Packaging: Is the product in its original packaging as listed on Amazon?
-- Shipping: Have you taken all appropriate steps and quality checks to ensure that the product is stored, packed, and shipped appropriately?

Please review your communications from buyers to better understand the issues. Be as specific as possible in your plan. Do not limit your plan to issues with specific orders.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Sounds like a standard POA will get you reinstated

Just address all the concerns/questions they gave you

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

contact a lawyer they escalate things and get you back on in days and thus you not losing out on business. and amazon poos their pants if they know you hired a lawyer makes them rush.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Im not sure that is very true....

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

do not worry
Please contact them under the contact supporter link
then provide the papers they require

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

This is a stupid suggestion. Lawyer doesn’t know how to write a good POA and you will waste your money for those rubbish things.
I bet you have never hired any lawyer in your life for them helping you reinstated your suspended seller act. So dont tell anyone to do so just because you want to test it.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Ok, in a twisted way, this is still a good sign.

The important stuff right now are the invoices + letter or certificate from the manufacturer.
I'd call them up, submit those certificates while you're on the phone, make sure they see it.

Your POA isn't the problem, it's the proof that you aren't selling bad products that's important.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Your plan does not sufficiently address the complaints we received about your listings. To be sufficient, your plan must include:

-- How you will prevent similar complaints

Here are a few things to consider as you work on resolving this:

--Sourcing – Are you sourcing the product from a trusted supplier?
--Listing – Is the product accurately described on Amazon? Have you ensured that there is no ambiguity and the customer is well informed?
--Packaging - Is the product in its original packaging as listed on Amazon?
-- Shipping – Have you taken all appropriate steps and quality checks to ensure that the product is stored, packed, and shipped appropriately?

If you would like us to reinstate your account, please reply to this email with an updated plan. If it sufficiently addresses the complaints, we will reinstate your account.



Just received this today after lots of emails. Feels like I’m one step closer to getting my account back. Any ideas of some key words that they really want to hear?

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

Cover everything that could have possibly gotten you suspended in the first place and provide a solution for every one of those possible things

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
 

I have said this in other posts, keep it short but to the point, they like bullet points not essays, actually long POA get denied most of the time.. Just as they ask the questions, make your bullet points answering each one. Oh grammar goes a long way, and spell check it as well.

Re: Amazon suspension, please help!
