Welcome to Seller Forums

I have been approved to sell a brand but every time I got to list a product of the brand it say apply for selling can any one advise what I can do to list products after approval

Hi I have been ignoring the alert to update my selling information and today saw my account put on hold until i uploaded the info required. I did this earlier today and submitted but nothing has changed. Tried submitting multiple times but still nothing. Spoke with seller help and they said i haven't yet pressed submit. Tried using different docs and still no change.

Does this normally take a while to be looked at or should it be pretty instant? After i click submit the next page says the information is being reviewed and the page will refresh in 30 seconds. After a minute or so it refreshes and prompts me to "review and update my selling on amazon account information". Back on the dashboard there is nothing to say my uploaded information is under review and there is no sign of any change after pressing submit except I get a performance notification which states "We are conducting a review of your Amazon Payments Account. We need additional information or documents to continue with your account verification. In accordance with regulations, you must complete an account verification process. Please go to the Identity Information page to provide the required information or documents:"

Am i doing something wrong? My account has been on hold all day and I can't see how to get it back active again. I have checked each document fits the criterea they have asked for and that all information provided matches.

Many thanks for any help that can be offered!

I have had zero violations on my account. I built this business by myself over 4-5 years and it has become my main source of income - so this is quite depressing.

Amazon requested me to send them documents proving I'm a UK established business that pays VAT. They never formally rejected my documents - they just kept spamming the same performance notification asking me for the same information over and over again.

About 3 weeks in, and after having about 3 phone calls with account health, it turned out that the address they wanted me to prove was my OPERATING address instead of REGISTERED address. I gathered as much evidence as I could since then (utility bills, commercial invoices etc). and sent it to them. Since then it has been a wild goose chase. I've had to send this information multiple times too, and to multiple email addresses (all of this under the advice of account health).

It has been 6 weeks since I sent the last bit of information they asked for and I have had no response. I have lost over £150K worth of sales and paid over £15K in storage fees in these 3 months. Every time I call Account Health they tell me all I can do is wait. The more I wait, the more I lose in storage fees. They refuse to give me any rough estimate whatsoever on when this will be complete - I could still be waiting next year for all I know.

This has just an extremely stressful and depressing past few months. I did nothing to deserve this - this is just Amazon refusing to look at the documentation and reinstate my account at this point. This issue has been escalated twice in the last week. 5-6 days ago I received an e-mail from the "specialised team" it has been escalated to telling me I'll hear a response within 72 hours. They have not responded.

I'm not sure what to do at this point. Do I just accept that the accounts gone? I can make a new company, new seller account, and pay another £15K or so to get stuff removed from the Amazon warehouse but it's always in the back of my head that by the time this is all done my actual account will be reinstated by then. It's a frustrating dilemma. Really seems like Amazon is just torturing me at this point. Has anyone been through anything similar? Any advice?

hi all, what do we do about customers that take the Mickey?

Customer stated parcel was not delivered. About £50 worth

Customer opened an a-z and was refunded.

Upon checking the tracking the parcel has been delivered.

I appeal the a-z and send proof of tracking and amazon denied the case.

What on earth is wrong with them? How hard is it to check the tracking which was provided on the order and on the appeal.

Any help appreciated

Why did I just put myself through the pain of trying to speak to seller support. I have had a policy violation for trademark misuse for using the word guess in my title. The product I sell is a game and the word guess is part of the games title. Its nothing to do with the brand guess, its an action word. I had the same issue with another product a few weeks ago and spoke to seller support who passed it to the relevant team and it was sorted within 24 hours. Yet today I just got absolutely nowhere. I asked if they could pass it to the relevant team and was told no. Banging head against brick wall!!! Can one of the mods help?

Hello fellow sellers,

I need your help and advice on a serious issue we have been facing. Order ID: 204-8778549-3360302

A customer purchased a specific pair of shoes from us. We fulfilled the order correctly, and our internal records, pick list, and dispatch footage confirm this.

However, the buyer raised a return claim saying "wrong item sent" and returned a completely different pair of shoes, not even a model we sell. The returned pair was used and dirty. Despite submitting full evidence (photos, product catalogue, stock sheet, and return inspection report), Amazon refunded the buyer from our account.

We have submitted 16 appeals through the normal channels and keep receiving the same copy-paste response:

“Although we understand your position, we stand by our decision.”

We have asked for an escalation or human review, but there is no way forward via the standard appeal workflow. This is a clear case of return fraud, and it seems there is no protection for sellers in this situation.

Has anyone managed to:

Escalate these cases beyond the automated system?

Get a proper review done by Executive Seller Relations?

Recover funds in similar fraud situations?

Any insights or proven escalation routes would be hugely appreciated. I am also interested in collaborating with other sellers who face similar situations to raise this as a systemic issue with Seller Performance or through FBA Feedback Loops.

We have became aware of a growing trend from Amazon of their customer service reps just issuing refunds and not telling you, not explaining or qualifying this and not even remotely updating you.

Is anyone experincing this as well ?

The example I will give is an order yesterday, the customer opened a return request for the item, this was auto authorised, with a pre paid label issued.

Neither item from two orders has been returned, the customer stated they suspected that something had happened and maybe they had been sent to Amazons returns instead of us ? the tracking clearly shows that Royal Mail have not at all picked them up and the customer still has them.

Last night the customer emailed us to say they had contacted Amazon, it was all sorted and they had been refunded.

I checked my emails, nothing from Amazon reps at all, I checked my balance and they have refunded two orders from my balance and the customer still has both items.

The only email was a standard refund email, nothing about this at all, so it could have easily been missed if the customer had not emailed us.

First and foremost, I want to say this is not an isolated incident, there have been several random refunds with no return requests, no messages and no emails.

So are Amazon just handing out our money left right and centre with no checks and balances as that this is grossly unfair on sellers with no comeback, no right to know and you may not even know its happened to you !!!!!!

Come on Amazon kindly explain why your reps are doing this and not even bothering to tell us ? its appalling really, your reps should at least notify us so we can monitor them.

Does anyone know how to check every single return to see who authorised it ? as I see a small claim coming on

I received a negative feedback on a football cake topper, with the customer claiming I sent the wrong colour. However, the customer selected red when placing the order, and I’ve confirmed that we did indeed send a red topper as requested.

The topper includes a team name, and the customer had entered "Derby County." They are now saying the topper should have been black, as that is the team’s official colour. However, there was no mention of this in the order notes—only the team name and a red colour selection.

I feel this isn’t my fault, as I strictly followed the customer’s instructions. Do you have any suggestions on how best to handle this or what action I should take regarding the feedback?

Hi Amazon team,

I’m writing with concern about my UK Seller Central account, which was recently closed without any clear reason, even though I submitted all required documents for KYC and VAT verification.

• I provided valid VAT registration, company documents, identity verification, and bank statements — everything requested was uploaded on time.

• Despite full cooperation, my UK account was closed and no reason was shared — only that the decision was final.

• Meanwhile, my USA Seller Account passed all verification steps successfully and is currently active — which shows that my documents and identity are valid and recognised.

This makes the situation even more confusing, as I used the same business information and documentation for both marketplaces.

I kindly request that someone from the KYC or compliance team re-review the UK account closure, as it appears to be either a misunderstanding or a backend error.

Here are some case ids which gets closed or transferred:

11153270132

1117645964

We got this email from amazon:

"Having reviewed your account thoroughly, we have decided that your account will remain closed. All information provided by you has been considered in detail. This decision has been reached because we have not been able to successfully process your application to open a Selling on Amazon payment account.

I am unable to provide you with any further information. We may not respond to further correspondence regarding the closure of your account."

please help:

— I would really appreciate if you could help escalate this for a manual check or internal review.

Thank you so much for your time and support.
