Stop using the term banned/block for Amazon

TonyAlmeida · #1 09-08-2013

I have read lot of thread about account being banned/blocked from Amazon. If you could please use deleted/suspended.

- Deleted: You are no longer able to log-in to your seller account even if you just change/reset your password. And you never got anything from Amazon when this happen.

- Suspended: You received an email from Amazon about your account being suspended and they will hold your fund for 90 days. When suspended, you are still able to log-in to your account and buy from Amazon, but can't sell anything.

When you say your account is deleted or suspended you will get the answer/advice faster and not waste everyone's time asking suspended or deleted when you using banned/blocked.

Thank you

Very well put Tony.

I had a hard time as a newbie in the forums understanding the difference between the 4 terms, and become more confused to start, when the terms are used incorrectly.

All of the terms mean the same thing, you can sell anymore.

I vote we put together a huge list of terminologies and have it stickied.

deleted...
suspended...
mac address...
dongle...
appeal...

etc.

That is the point Tony is making, they do not all mean the same thing.

Deleted is different from suspended.

You cannot sell with either, but deleted is worse than suspended.

I do not think so, Dr Yosshi.

Leaving out NOT blew your response.

Amazon has different definitions as to account status.

To respond correctly the actual status of the account should be known.

There are differences that make this essential.

Good point - need to make clear that deletion is much worse with no access to account and no funds available.

And do what?

It means another sticky that may be infrequently read.

Thank you

I have stickied this, Tony.

Wonder if we might change the title a little?

Something like use the right terms when talking about accounts?

Suggestions?

Or let it be....

GB, Thank you for the stickied of this thread. You welcome to change anything that make everyone easy to understand it. Since English is my second language and I have some limitation on how I describe what I want to say

Tony, you always communicate really well and celarly.

Regardless of sticky, I still think the use of these terms is unlikely to change - duly noted though

Then make an effort to prove otherwise.

Try to ensure the correct terms get used.

Not rocket science.

There's enough urban myths that float around on the amazon forum because of half baked thoughts.

Work on accuracy for a change.

rsot · #14 09-10-2013

Why you pulling me personally into this then? I do use and enforce terms.

You were the last poster.

Could have been slapped or aspkin or the man in the moon.

I made a response to you, the last poster.

If it was any other user the response would be the same.

Any one using amazon needs to try to ensure the terms are correct.

Big deal is only in your mind.

rsot · #16 09-10-2013

Understood GB - there seemed to be a message implied - no worries; overread it

Your 1st language must be great if your English is better than most!

Sorry I didn't proof read the post. I was on the way out.

Ive been working on ways to find myself out of account deletions.One of the guys on here told me it is possible to receive funds after a deletion .The reason some people dont get their funds after 90 days is because of a A-z claim during their suspension.Evidently if you receive any a-z on a account deletion during the 90 days it restarts your 90 days over.Example if your 40 days into your deletion and a customer decides to a-z you ,them 40 days start back at day 1.I havent confirmed this,only info I received from a member on this forum .

TonyAlmeida · #20 09-11-2013

The information completely WRONG

That might be true, but at least when someone asks a question that has already been answered 100 times, they can simply be directed to that stickied thread.
