Understanding Different Types of Amazon Suspensions & How to Avoid Them
Hey sellers,
Over the years, I’ve seen many accounts getting suspended for issues that could’ve been avoided with a little awareness. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common types of Amazon suspensions and tips to stay safe:
🔸 Product Authenticity / Invoices Issues
👉 Always keep valid purchase invoices ready. Avoid sourcing from unverified suppliers.
🔸 Order Defect Rate (ODR)
👉 Make sure your products are as described, shipped on time, and your customer service is prompt.
🔸 Policy Violations (like Used Sold as New, Inappropriate Listings)
👉 Always check Amazon's latest policies. Even a minor oversight can lead to a suspension.
🔸 Linked Account Suspensions
👉 Don’t log into multiple seller accounts from the same device or network unless you’re authorized.
🔸 Review Manipulation / IP Complaints
👉 Don’t incentivize reviews and never use brand names or trademarks that aren't yours.
I’ve spoken with dozens of sellers who had no idea why their account was suspended until it was too late. If you're currently facing a suspension, I’m happy to share insights or direct you to the right path based on your situation.
Stay safe and keep selling!
