Help! Primary User Account Unavailable

Hi everyone,

We’re running into a frustrating issue with our Amazon Selling Account and are hoping someone here has experienced something similar or can offer some guidance. Our primary user account is no longer accessible. When attempting to sign in, we get an error! This issue seems to have started after we removed the buyer account from a Business Prime account, which closed the buyer account altogether

That said:

- Our secondary users can still access Seller Central and operate the account.

- The primary user is still listed as the account owner under user permissions.

- Amazon support has told us this may be due to the linked buyer account being closed, and that it cannot be reactivated.

We have an open Seller Support case for several months, but it keeps getting passed from one team to another with no resolution in sight. Buyer account help have just keep saying how they cannot reopen a closed account.

Has anyone else encountered this issue and managed to solve it?

Also, is it possible to transfer primary account ownership to another user, especially if the current primary account can’t be recovered?

Any insights, suggestions, or shared experiences would be incredibly helpful.

@Spencer_Amazon - I noticed you responded on a similar case recently! Your help would be appreciated!

I'm afraid Amazon are correct - by closing your buyer account y ou have closed your access to your selling account as they are linked. It cannot be reversed.

When you request to close your buyer account, we will process the closure while keeping your seller account active. Once closed, you won't be able to access the seller account, and please note that the closed buyer account will remain deactivated in our system and may affect any linked accounts.

For further more clarification you can click the "Call Me Now" button on your Account Health Dashboard to connect with our Account Health team.

If you need any further assistance, you can post here so that we or any of the sellers on forum can help you.

Regards,

Abella.
