When an Amazon Seller is suspended for an allegation of an intellectual property right, the suspended Amazon seller needs to look at several issues to get the suspended sellers account back.
Amazon Sellers Invoices
Before a Suspended Amazon Seller sends Amazon an invoice, the suspended Amazon seller must take a close look the Amazon Sellers invoices. For example, a suspended Amazon Sellers must confirm that the distributor’s phone number and address are correct. Amazon calls distributors. If a suspended Amazon Seller is sending an invoice to Amazon to try and get their suspended account back, the information on the invoice must be correct.
Amazon takes invoices extremely seriously. A suspended Amazon seller must evaluate their invoices very carefully when addressing an Amazon suspension for inauthentic or an intellectual property right issues.
Intellectual Property Right Complaints
Intellectual property complaints are a major reason behind many Amazon seller suspensions. Amazon suspends seller accounts for intellectual property right complaints including copyright issues. Suspended Amazon Sellers need to know that Amazon Sellers’ copyright issues are mostly based upon images and words.
Amazon Sellers should not use pictures created by anyone else. Using someone else’s pictures causes Amazon Seller suspensions. Amazon sellers should not use someone else’s descriptions. Amazon sellers are suspended for copying and pasting someone else’s descriptions onto their Amazon listings.
Another growing Amazon seller suspension occurs for Amazon sellers who sell DVD and VHS cassettes. If you are an Amazon seller selling DVDs, be careful with your Amazon listing.
Related Amazon Seller Accounts
If you have multiple Amazon Seller accounts, be extremely careful not to get caught. If Amazon identifies your multiple accounts, you will be suspended under Amazon’s “related account” suspension. If you are going to have multiple accounts, consider separating each account so that there is no link between the accounts. For example, if you have multiple Amazon accounts, use separate computers, IP addresses, different inventory, different staff for each account. We do not know all of the ways that Amazon links Amazon Sellers accounts, but we see how many Amazon sellers are successful and how many Amazon Sellers get caught.
