Account Set to Inactive due to Dormancy - Cannot reactivate it
Hi everyone,
I've not been selling anything for months and Amazon asks me to verify my identity as I need to add new credit card to my account.
My problem with that is what they ask me to do is cannot be done due to their website.
I changed my card several times with several different cards, they checked it successfully but I still not get reactivation.
It says I need to provide additional documents, like :
"Your account has been deactivated due to inactivity. In order to reactivate your account, we need to re-verify your identity. You will need the following documents to complete the re-verification.
Information about your business, if applicable
1 government issued photo ID
1 bank account statement or credit card statement"
But the thing is that, there are no any sections, tabs, anything where I could attach my documents.
Only a "Reactivate Account" link written by color red and when I click on that it takes me only to that page where I can change my credit card which I made several times before..
I can't even reach out to support, open a case, or do anything because every time I try, I only see the 'inactive account' message on every tab.
In recent days, I was finally able to list some products, and they are already in our warehouse. It may only take a few weeks to start seeing sales, but unfortunately, months have passed without any sales so far.
Please somebody help me with this.
I cannot understand , how a big company like Amazon cannot make this process more streamlined, it is ridiculous that I cannot even contact with support or get any help...
Thanks

This is my standard credit card template so use what applies!
Amazon is weird on so many levels and this seems to work at least sometimes!
First, be sure it is an actual CREDIT Card. While Amazon claims that a Debit Card will work, that is seldom true! They WILL charge a Debit Card for initial fees but they will NOT take it on continuing basis most of the time despite their claims!
Put the card number into your BUYER side account first. Wait an hour (sometimes less) for the gerbils to work their way through the system and then put it in the SELLER side.
There was one recent response from a seller on a post that they DELETED the card that was on the buyer side and put the SAME card back in after a little bit and it fixed the problem. Amazon is a maze of broken links in their antiquated software.
Here are a couple threads where an OP says it worked.

Hello @Seller_jTo0DhHiGBYbU
Thank you for posting to the Forums. My name is Sandy from the Amazon Community Manager team.
I understand that you are experiencing a concern whereby your account is inactive even after following the path provided for reactivation. A few sellers have also posted similar discussions. The community managers are currently contacting internal teams to investigate the situation. Once we have updates we will post on this MAIN POST.
Thank you for your patience.
Sandy
