I registered for a US Amazon seller account about 10 days ago and accidentally opted for global selling, which included Europe. I verified all the details in my US account, including my social security information, and everything looks good. The UK market automatically deactivates and requires a video interview, which I was fine with. I had my video interview yesterday and provided all the requested information, including details about my private label. Everything looked good.

Then, yesterday, I got this email.

Hello Seller,

Thank you for completing the video verification. After reviewing the information from your virtual identity verification, we believe or our controls identify that your account may have been used for deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity. As a result, your account will not be reactivated.

I'm not particularly worried about the UK market; however, I believe it could eventually deactivate the US market as well. I've noticed that some UK accounts have been shut down after US sellers failed identity verification interviews, often without any clear reason. This has been very frustrating for me. My UK account was deactivated about a week ago, prior to this email, but my US account is still active.

I’m concerned about the possibility of US accounts facing the same fate and potentially getting shut down. I want to avoid a situation where I start selling soon, only to have everything go to waste—my inventory and funds—within a few weeks or months.

I was wondering if there is any difference that they said, "Your account may have been used for deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity. instead of "Your account has been used for deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity."

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
