Mine to also gone 5 accounts 1 was to transfer tomorrow pushed to thursday now can't log in. rest due to transfer next week all gone.

Mine was a new account. Perhaps its due to selling high value items from the off, they are becoming.more like EBay in that regard.

I remember that I couldn't log in to one of my old accounts, but when I tried to log in through another browser it was ok.

Amazon are even more mysterious than Paypal these days.

After my last Amazon account was deleted over 1 year ago I haven't sold anything or made a new account with them. I will continue with that into the future.

I can risk my money being held up for 6 months with paypal but I can afford entirely losing all money with a deleted Amazon account.

Yea they are kinda late this year, last year I seem to remember they started a month earlier.

This is the start. Last year they said failed reviews this year they are just deleting your accounts with no explanation. Even good standing accounts. As you can see they can not be trusted and I would never give them any of my ein or ssn info. Alot of the big sellers on their is them under different names. Hell there were big company's on here that have been long gone like astro video king of all discounts, etc.

Amazon is trying to squeeze the small seller and if you see how they are coddaling the big sellers it is just pathetic. so If you have to make money on amazon it can't be for christmas anymore. this is now 3 years running.I had ana account only 3 days old 2 old cd's listed checked that it was gone to. so know I have to go from scratch and see if it will hold up.
But doubtful..

Very sad to hear guys - I feel for guys ...but like yotano:

quote "After my last Amazon account was deleted over 1 year ago I haven't sold anything or made a new account with them. I will continue with that into the future. "

Same here - that risk has me kind of turned off.

I think but dont quote me that any accounts started say dec 1st will stay due to the 21 day hold. then right before your first transfer(after you mail all your stuff ) amazon will either A: review B; suspend or C; delete the account so you can't access it. I was just changing the names of my computers but I will reformat all drives so they are clean. Then start new accounts and see.

What I do see is santa is taking a holiday at my house this year. Thanks bezos hope when you get to the gates they open the trap door in the floor for you. In your next life you will be a small seller getting fkd like us.

Checked into my account, listings are still there but cannot login through seller central. Logged in through buyer amazon and went to my seller account and voila. Hopefully I will still be able to do this for the time being and that they don't rob me more money...

Sheesh

I dont understand these deleting accounts. 20 accounts? How much did you have in them?

What triggers them to delete an account? I have 9k in mine right now....the account is legit and legit stuff(computers/hardware etc).......yikes!!

helpmelol · #14 11-30-2012

WTF is this about?

I was about to create a new account... will my account be deleted / suspended if I use a new computer, new IP address, different names & inventory and if I use Amazon.co.uk instead of Amazon.com?

Why is this happening

They're already holding 2000$ on my previously suspended account,
& I don't even know why. I have 100% positive feedback.
