Account Deactivated by KYC UK verification - But US KYC passed
Hi Amazon team,
I’m writing with concern about my UK Seller Central account, which was recently closed without any clear reason, even though I submitted all required documents for KYC and VAT verification.
• I provided valid VAT registration, company documents, identity verification, and bank statements — everything requested was uploaded on time.
• Despite full cooperation, my UK account was closed and no reason was shared — only that the decision was final.
• Meanwhile, my USA Seller Account passed all verification steps successfully and is currently active — which shows that my documents and identity are valid and recognised.
This makes the situation even more confusing, as I used the same business information and documentation for both marketplaces.
I kindly request that someone from the KYC or compliance team re-review the UK account closure, as it appears to be either a misunderstanding or a backend error.
Here are some case ids which gets closed or transferred:
11153270132
1117645964
We got this email from amazon:
"Having reviewed your account thoroughly, we have decided that your account will remain closed. All information provided by you has been considered in detail. This decision has been reached because we have not been able to successfully process your application to open a Selling on Amazon payment account.
I am unable to provide you with any further information. We may not respond to further correspondence regarding the closure of your account."
please help:

— I would really appreciate if you could help escalate this for a manual check or internal review.
Thank you so much for your time and support.

Exact same with me. Same situation, same email etc.
My business doing over £1M / year revenue has just been closed. All of the documentation was legit and they never gave me any reason. What a shame.

Hello @Seller_9tf4M7XDRj6d2,
This is Abella from Amazon, here to assist you.
From the post above, I understand that you have concerns related to "Verification Process".
I appreciate you sharing information about the status of your current account. My aim is to offer additional advice on the subsequent actions to take.
As per European Regulations and Laws, verifying your identity is required to allow you to use our payment service. You may need to provide us with certain information and/or documents in order to facilitate these checks.
"Having reviewed your account thoroughly, we have decided that your account will remain closed. All information provided by you has been considered in detail. This decision has been reached because we have not been able to successfully process your application to open a Selling on Amazon payment account.

Verification decisions are final and are based on the information and documentation that we have received from you.
KYC is a process Amazon uses to verify seller identities and ensure compliance with legal regulations. Our goal is keeping Amazon secure and globally compliant. Sellers selling their products in UK store have to complete KYC verification process. For more information on KYC Verification and country specific requirements, go to Know Your Customer (KYC) Verification Information .
There are several reasons why we may have declined to open your account. It may be because we were unable to verify your identity as required by applicable legislation.
Providing incomplete or inaccurate information is a common reason why verification may not be successful.
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.
