How Long is An Amazon Seller Suspension?

One of the worst things that could happen to an Amazon seller, is a suspension. It often comes as a surprise, and it’s never pleasant. Getting suspended on Amazon is an issue because not only does it shut down your business, but in some cases can freeze your bank account too. Amazon will almost always hold your funds. Therefore, one of the most common questions asked by Amazon sellers is “When I will be able to continue my business on Amazon?” And trust us, we know it’s a very valid question to ask.

Unfortunately, as much as we’d like to claim otherwise, there is no exact answer to that question since in most cases the period of your account’s reinstatement depends on the type of your suspension. If it is just a verification suspension, then you can return your selling privileges in a comparably short period of time (if you’re lucky and a more serious problem doesn’t pop up). Whereas serious cases like Intellectual Property Suspensions and Multiple accounts violations can take a very long period of time for reinstatement. Another crucial part refers to the reinstatement company whom you trust your account’s reinstatement. Most reinstatement “experts” or companies will write generic, non-professional appeals that will keep getting rejected over and over again, further delaying the reinstatement process.

Unfortunately, nowadays there are lots of these fraudulent companies which do not understand the seriousness of such kinds of issues, and just earn money on peoples’ problems, without really offering solid solutions that will actually get the accounts back. Therefore, before contacting any reinstatement company, try to ensure that it is a reputable company that is able to help you with your account’s suspension.

• issues, such as negative reviews or customer complaints.

• because if it does, your account will get shut down.
• Cancellation Rate – When the cancellation rate is above 2.5%, Amazon will suspend you. Make sure you don’t have too many cancellations!

• Intellectual Property Suspension – When you are violating somebody else’s Intellectual Property Rights, particularly a brand’s, you’re putting your account at risk of not just a suspension, but also legal action. This type of suspension often involves a legal attorney.
• Linked Account Suspension – When you are running multiple seller accounts without getting Amazon’s permission or when Amazon links your account to another one, it is a surefire way of getting suspended on the platform.
