Amazon doesn’t care about the losses faced by sellers. I provided them with a completely clear unpacking video as proof, yet they are still denying all my (SAFE-T CLAIMS) claims. This is causing me significant losses, and my products are very expensive. I now want to tell other sellers that no one should sell their products on Amazon. It is a very poor platform for sellers, and it does not support or protect its sellers properly.

How to grow sale on amazon without ads

One of our ASINs (B08QSKJ74H) has been blocked due to a compliance concern, and we were advised to contact the Food Compliance team for clarification and rectification.

We immediately contacted the Food Compliance team, addressed the issue, and after review, the team confirmed that there are no compliance errors on our end. They also informed us that the ASIN reactivation process has been reinitiated from their side.

However, despite multiple follow-ups with Amazon support, we have not received any proper resolution, and the ASIN remains blocked without a clear reason. Each case opened leads to a generic or unhelpful response, with no actionable feedback or escalation.

We have been selling this product on Amazon for years without issue, and it is fully compliant with FSSAI regulations. The continued listing block is causing serious disruption to our business.

We request urgent help from Amazon Support or any Seller who has faced a similar issue. If anyone has a resolution path or a contact that helped, please share.

Hello Amazon Seller Community,

I’m writing this post out of sheer frustration after exhausting all the proper channels, appeals, and communications with Amazon Seller Support and the Performance Team – but still receiving only generic, copy-paste responses with no outcome.

Let me explain my situation in full transparency, in the hope that someone from the Amazon team or a fellow seller who has gone through this can guide me.

🔒 Account Deactivation Notice

Several weeks ago, I received a notification from Amazon stating that my seller account was deactivated due to being “related to another account beginning with B J Electronic.”

This came as a complete shock because:

I have never opened, accessed, or even heard of this other account.

I am the sole proprietor of my business, and this seller account is my only Amazon account.

I operate with a dedicated laptop, fixed IP internet, and never shared credentials with anyone.

There are no shared addresses, banking details, or contact information with any other account.

🧾 I Provided Everything Amazon Asked For

In my initial appeal, I clearly explained that I have no connection with the said account. I also stated that this may be a false flag, possibly due to dynamic IP ranges, courier overlaps, or some algorithmic error.

I also offered and attempted to provide:

Business registration details

GST certificate

PAN card

Bank statement

Utility bills

But the frustrating part is:

⚠️ There is no option to upload documents.

How are we supposed to “prove” anything when no way is given to provide supporting proof?

📩 Asked for Contact of Related Account – No Reply

Since they claim my account is related to another, I requested the email or contact info of the so-called related account so I could check from my side and possibly resolve the confusion. I was told nothing.

If you accuse someone of being “linked,” at least give them a chance to investigate or defend themselves. But Amazon has refused to offer even basic transparency.

💸 Payment Is Still On Hold

Despite repeated appeals, my payments are still held – this is hard-earned money from genuine orders delivered to customers, not even disputed or refunded.

It’s been weeks now. I’ve followed every rule, maintained 100% order metrics, had great reviews – and now, without any wrongdoing on my part, my account is locked, my payments are frozen, and there’s no way forward.

😤 Generic Responses Every Time

Every response I receive is the same generic copy-paste email saying:

“You have been found related to another account. Please provide documentation. Do not open another account.”

This is beyond frustrating. I’ve already stated multiple times that:

I have only one account

I’m not related to anyone else

I’ve done nothing wrong

Yet the replies are just robotic, cold, and unhelpful. No review of my documents. No personal response. No clear instructions. No way to escalate.

❓Why Am I Being Punished Without Proof?

What happened to:

“Sellers are partners”?

“We support small businesses”?

“Fair process and appeals”?

At this point, I feel like a victim of automation and negligence. A hardworking, policy-following seller is being punished without trial, while actual fraudulent sellers just keep creating more accounts.

📢 Amazon, Please Listen

To the Amazon Moderators and Account Health Specialists who might be reading this:

👉 Please escalate this issue. Please review my appeals manually. Please provide a human response, not a template.

And to fellow sellers:

Have you ever faced this situation? Did anyone manage to get their account reinstated after being falsely flagged for "related accounts"? What else can I do when no upload option is available and no one replies with substance?

⚠️ Closing Message

I’ve put in my time, trust, and investment into Amazon. And this is what I get in return?

Zero transparency. Zero accountability. Zero access to due process.

All I’m asking is:

Either show me the evidence or give me a real chance to prove myself.

Otherwise, this system isn’t fair. It’s automated punishment without appeal.

Thank you for reading.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a recent experience with Amazon's automated "Create Campaign" feature that I think serves as a critical warning for all sellers, especially those new to PPC.

I have one product I wanted to advertise: a women's cotton nightgown.

I used Amazon's tool to create a campaign, and this is what the algorithm suggested for my single ad group:

Product: 1 Women's Nightgown

Suggested Keywords (all Broad Match):

• night gown adult woman

• nighty for women

• cotton knitted nighty

• cotton night shirt

• cotton night gown

• laorra (a brand?)

• nutex sangini bra (A BRA!)

• dry state jacket women (A JACKET!)

• vivo mobile (A MOBILE PHONE!)

• phone exchange offer (MOBILE PHONE SERVICES!)

• renewed mobiles (...you get the idea)

• refurbished mobiles( ?? why)

• vivoy21t ( Look how Amazon help to drain sellers money)

As you can see, the campaign is set up to show my nightgown ad to people searching for mobile phones, jackets, and different brands of bras. It's a guaranteed way to burn through my daily budget with zero chance of conversion on those keywords.

Why this is a problem for all of us:

1. Wasted Ad Spend: Every click from an irrelevant search like "vivo mobile" is money straight down the drain.

2. Terrible Metrics: This setup guarantees a rock-bottom Click-Through Rate (CTR) and an astronomical ACOS, telling the algorithm your ad is not relevant and potentially hurting its performance in the long run.

3. Broad Match Danger: Using Broad Match on such irrelevant keywords is even worse, as Amazon will show your ad for an even wider net of useless search terms.

It feels like this automated system is designed more to ensure we spend our ad budget than to help us get profitable sales. The estimated performance of "1-5 conversions" seems impossible when most of the keywords have nothing to do with the product.

I'm pausing this immediately and rebuilding it manually with only relevant keywords (using Phrase/Exact match) and a "Down Only" bidding strategy.

Has anyone else experienced suggestions this bizarre? What are your go-to rules for avoiding these money-draining traps?

Stay vigilant out there
