There were three suspensions for three DIFFERENT reasons. The first two you appealed with success. The third suspension is based on:
1. possibility: something is missing in your settings. Go look to "Account Health"
2. possibility: your listings. If you list OTHER brands and not your's, you may need to provide a "Letter of Authorization" from the brand as well as INVOICES from an authorized distributor. If you didn't provide and you indeed sell other brands I suppose this is the missing part.
3. possibility: selling history. If you are a new seller and have an unusual high sales volume the system is concluding that you are organizing sales and that is considered as ranking manipulation.
So, you have to prove the one or the other. Amazon will NOT tell you what the exact issue is or what is missing.

Hello @Seller_HFUyfTHaRExOx,
Thank you for posting your concerns with your account deactivation.

I appreciate your explanation of the situation, as you mentioned the most recent issue took place on the 24th. The question I have to the reason for this, was there any notifications requesting information, or that you complete another video call?
Verification can happen in stages and may require the re-submission of the same documents or even partaking in multiple video calls if needed to complete their processes.
As for next steps, have you provided a utility bill or business license and additionally have you schedule a video call if requested? This process needs to be completed for the account to be eligible for reactivation.
I would suggest reviewing the document requirements for a utility bill in our seller identity verification help page to make sure your documents meet our requirements.
The forums community and I are here to support you. Please let us know how we can help you from this point forward.
Emet.
