Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

I recently had between (4-7) accounts suspended over a 2-4 month period.

Is anyone seeing similar numbers out there or a "quickness" for Amazon to draw a conclusion on a due account suspension without warning?

It is a whole new ball game and I hope I am an isolated case.

Any thoughts or experiences out there people can share whom own more than a few accounts?

lots of sellers got shut down on black friday/thanksgiving.....

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

Were they all suspended for different reasons, or are you saying they all got linked?

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

Well recently i got a email saying i need to appeal my account due to poor seller performance, defect rate

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

They do suspensions in batches.

Please give me the reason for each of your suspensions

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

Putting all the hate aside, they don't suspend someone without a reason. You must have done something. Bad seller performance? Copyright takedowns?

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

a bunch of sellers on black friday got "code of conduct" shut downs...me included

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

yeah ...ok

you sound like u should be on the amazon seller forums....

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

Remember the closer you get to xmas the more sensitive the amazon ban algo gets.

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

Does your code of conduct suspension have to do with intellectual property complaints?

Mine got suspended Nov 30 after 4 years... 100% feedback... sent POA to pq-sv-appeal - still haven't heard anything back. How long do they typically take to reply?

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

What caused the suspension? What was their email response and reason for suspension?

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

The reason was inauthentic, probably a competitor.

They haven’t replied yet, that’s why I’m asking if anyone has recent experience to give us some timeline.

Btw, I can’t reply to private msgs yet. Canadianleaf: I don’t sell on Amazon CA sorry.

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

It sounds pretty like you are selling inauthentic product or your account got linked. If there was no reason at all, sometime because the defective rate super high, and takes couple days even weeks to receive the Email from Amazon.

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

@goodgame, were you always selling the same items on the accounts that got canned?

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

Hope they say something soon, it's been 1 week already. Of course I haven't sat idly by, I've taken the week to make a few more accounts :)

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

They didn't shut down, it's suspended, and I submitted a POA. Waiting to hear back... 8 days now.

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

Actually they do !!!

I've seen that especially when creating new accounts, there were no clear reasons behind suspending the accounts, but they suspend them.

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

They tend to have a reason on their end though, although they send out an automated suspension template, there is a reason they were suspended and not able to verify etc.

If you have connections to Amazon reps, you can have them pull up annotations to view suspension reasons etc, and then you will see the reason for suspension

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

If we had connections to amazon reps, we wouldn't be getting suspended. I for one would pay top dollar to have someone from seller performance on the payroll.

Re: Uptick in Account suspensions?
 

lol i believe a lot of us would...i also believe there are a few sellers who do...kind of clear that they do actually..
