My account was deactivated 2 years ago and despite it being a 25 year old account a large amount of money is still being held and no one will speak to me!, it's really played with my mental health
can any one please give me some advise as no one will speak to me. (Back story).
I have owned a seller account from pretty much the first day Amazon wanted sellers in the UK that’s around December 2000. We always tried to be the best seller we could be sourcing stock from major brands as well as bankrupt etc). In around Jan 2020 we started to really become a big seller, over a 4 year period we were in the top 2000 sellers and put out around 750k parcels during this time. AMZ took up all our time we worked on most occasions on 18 hours daily packing, sourcing and growing the business. Our main line was perfume and we dealt with various wholesalers & distributors, in early 2023 we had a few issues where clients were buying a product that when they were children/ young adults smelt different to how it smelt many years on and did not like it, but instead of just opening a return with the real reason they started claiming the items were not correct, which we addressed these don’t get me wrong in over 10,000 sales 1 may be 2 people were not happy, but AMZ stepped in and temporarily deactivated my account we had at this point over 5500 products listed, we took on staff and a lease and could not believe that this happened but we could not speak to anyone to help us , we lost everything the business was 90% amz orders. We had a big amount of money held around 15k which was first held for 90 days in case of issues which there were none and after a faceless video call a % of the money was released, for the past 2 years and 4 months over 4k has still been held and despite messages after messages, emails, phone calls no one wants to answer me and release my funds, which are 100% owned by me. Today again I asked to reactivate my account and release my funds but I know I will get an AI generic apply and the last time 6 months ago when I asked again for the funds that was the 48th time of emails, message etc still no reply. I am now completely out of things to do. Yes I would love to continue to sell on Amazon it was great and everything health wise on the account was perfect all above 99% always!!that’s including delivery rate, SLA’s everything but due to less than 0.004% of people not being happy one way or another this is what has happened. My mental health has been awful, this has been on going for years now and it’s my owed money. I have done everything and more asked of me yet it’s always fallen on death ears. I have said in writing many times if my account gets reactivated I will not sell any products where a paper trail is not in place and everything will be run correctly but the money now is very very important and it just will not be released and it’s been 2 years and 4 months plus the initial 90 days, so even longer does anyone have any ideas as I just don’t know what else I can do?. Thank you all in advance.

I feel for you - so sorry. My only suggestion would be to email the MD - managingdirector@amazon.co.uk - though you would need to have opened a case with Seller Support first, and quote the case ID - be very clear and concise or you could try Amazon's mediation service - type 'mediation' into the blue search box at the top of the page. You could also try tagging in some forum moderators eg @Julia_Amazon, @Spencer_Amazon and they may be able to escalate. Good luck.
