Hello,

Since 2022, we’ve been selling on 10 Amazon marketplaces, including the UK, EU, and US. We’re registered in Brand Registry as well.

In March, Amazon UK initiated a KYC verification process. I uploaded the requested documents correctly, but they were rejected, saying they didn’t meet the requirements. I tried about two more times with different documents, but they were all rejected as proof of address. In one case, I had to wait a full month just to get a response.

Eventually, I decided to go 100% by the book: I requested an official, letter-headed, English-language proof of address from my bank, which fully complied with Amazon's requirements. However, instead of approving it, Amazon immediately deactivated the account and rejected the appeal.

I contacted support and asked whether I could open a new account on the German marketplace. They told me that yes, I could — as long as I used a different email address. I followed their instructions and created the new account. One week later, that account was also deactivated, citing a connection to the original account.

I feel like I’ve done everything I possibly could, and I’ve run out of options. We haven’t done anything wrong. We haven’t broken any rules. We’re just a small European business trying to survive among giants. We’ve always submitted everything Amazon asked for, and now we’re completely lost — and I don’t even understand what went wrong.

Wherever I turn, I’m treated as if I’ve committed some serious violation, and that’s why the account was deactivated. But that’s not the case. It’s not even that I didn’t upload the documents. I did — and Amazon never even explained what exactly was wrong with the last submission.

By the way, we successfully passed the KYC verification on Amazon US.

Is there anything else I can do?

Thank you!
