Default Your Amazon selling account "will" be deactivated

I received the deactivation notice below.. 5 year old account, metrics all green. Sales relatively flat for about a year, nothing out of the ordinary. No changes to the account info and is not a stealth account. Real info, so all information is real and consistent. Has anyone received one of these before and what kinds of questions did they ask in the interview? I can supply all but invoices..


Your Amazon selling account will be deactivated on 06-19-2025 in accordance with Section 3 of the "Amazon Business Solutions Agreement". Funds will not be transferred to you but will stay in your account while we work with you to address this issue. Continue to ship any open orders to avoid further impact to your account.

Why is this happening?
We believe or our controls identify that your account has been used for deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity in accordance with Section 3 of the "Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement". In order to protect our customers, we verify the identity of our sellers through a virtual identity verification process on a video interview.

How do I register for virtual identity verification?
1. Access the following link:
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/mar...equired/render
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to upload the required documents and connect with an associate.

Important Considerations
-- During the virtual identity verification registration, choose the language that matches your native language from the dropdown list. If unavailable, an English interpreter can be used. However, if your native language is on the dropdown list, but you decide to use an interpreter, we won't be able to proceed with the verification.
-- Carefully review the list of required documents for the interview and have them prepared and on-hand.
-- Ensure you have a stable and reliable internet connection for the verification process.
Note: Failure to comply with these requirements may lead to the cancellation of your appointment.

Who should attend the video interview?
The owner and operator of this account should attend this verification interview. Depending on your business model, we understand there may be additional business partners who are integral to your business operations. These additional parties may also attend the verification interview as long as they have substantiating documentation showing their relationship to the business. After your verification interview is complete, we will review the results and respond with the outcome within 5 business days.

What documents are required?
Make sure to have with you the original physical and digital copies of the following documents:
-- A valid government-issued photo identity document is required for all participants. The document must include the full name, date of birth, ID number, expiry date, signature of the bearer (if applicable) and country of issuance or country of citizenship.
-- A bank statement of the account registered with your Amazon selling account as your deposit method. The bank statement must have been issued within the last 180 days and must include the individual or business' full name, business operating or residential address and the bank's information.
-- A credit card statement of the account registered with your Amazon selling account as your active charging method. The credit card statement must have been issued within the last 180 days and must include the individual or business' full name, business operating or residential address and the bank's information.
-- Your business registration document, if you have a registered business. The document must contain name of the business owner or legal representative, business-operating name, business license number or registration number, official seal or stamp of the issuing authority, business address, date of incorporation, status of the business and signature of the legal representative (electronic signature is acceptable).
-- Invoices or receipts for the ASINs listed. These documents must include the item's description, quantities, supplier’s name, supplier phone number, supplier address, and website. You may remove pricing information, but the rest of the document must be visible.

What happens if I do not complete my virtual identity verification?
If you do not complete your virtual video verification interview using the link provided within 14 days of this notification, or if your verification is not successful, your account will be deactivated.

I got the same last year. Green health. It may be about authenticity.
The main thing they will examine is your business model.
Your answers to the other generic questions don’t matter much—except for those related to your business practices.
I had issue with trademarks (unlicensed handmade products).
They returned the inventory after about eight months of back-and-forth.

Thanks for the help. Passed the interview. They asked how I sourced my inventory and I think that did the job. They didn't ask for invoices luckily.

Default Re: Your Amazon selling account "will" be deactivated

Hi everyone, I have a few questions regarding the same issue which the OP is facing:
  1. How long does the verification meeting usually take?
  2. Can someone else attend instead of the person whose name is on the account? Our CEO is the only one on the account and has a busy schedule.
  3. What kind of questions do they ask during the call?
  4. Also, should I be worried or bring any extra documents just in case?

I'd say good, save me tons of stress, PLEASE deactivate me. Amazon is crapp anyway - what company requires sellers to jump through all these hoops and requires insurance, etc? Sounds like a worthless California company. I tried to sign up years ago and what a nightmare. You have better chances applying to be a child of the dear leader in North Korea than to be accepted as a seller on Amazon.

Sorry you’re going through this. It sounds stressful, especially with a long-standing account. Preparing all documents carefully and attending the video verification seems key. Good luck
