Account Deactivated for wrong legal entity
My seller account has been deactivated because i incorrectly selected ‘individual’ as my legal entity (meaning i don’t sell for profit) instead of sole trader.
I would like to change this but i cannot with the account closed. I am registered as a sole trader and i have a utr number.
I have sent out about 4 appeals, the first of which being 6 weeks ago and i havent heard anything back.
Has anyone experienced an account deactivation? If so, how long did it take for Amazon to respond to your appeal?
There are professionals offering services to do a proper appeal and get the account back but they charge £500+ so i’d ideally like to avoid this.
Note: my account was deactivated in April and i only just appealed it in September (not sure if this makes a difference)
Thanks

You needed to contact seller support and ask them to reopen the legal entity section of your account
Yes it could do as there is usually a time limit
Why did you delay ?

I wasn’t already registered but i have now done so.
Because ive left it for 6 months does that mean they’ll take a long time to get back to me?
