One of the most dreaded things when selling on Amazon is when Amazon takes
down your whole selling account (known as an account suspension).

1. The first step is to find out that your account has been suspended.

2. The next step is to figure out why your account has been suspended.
Amazon will usually send you an email and also send a performance
notification to your seller account. If Amazon does neither of these,
then you will need to get on the phone and figure out the reason as to
why your account has been suspended.

3. After seeing/figuring out the reason as to why your account has been
suspended, now you will need to start gathering data to file an appeal.
For an example, let’s say that your account has been suspended due
to inauthentic claims. It will be very important to show Amazon that
you are in fact the authentic seller. Provide the information showing
this to Amazon and also input everything that Amazon requires.

4. Submit the appeal to the email that it was sent from or the email that
amazon tells you too.

1). Info on the complaint:

It appears customers have complained that our product [Input ASIN Here] was inauthentic.

RE: Corrective Actions Take, Request to Reinstate Selling Privileges of ASIN LIST ASIN HERE

RE: Case Number LIST CASE NUMBER HERE

Dear Amazon Seller Performance Team,

Background

We are writing to address your concerns regarding ASIN LIST ASIN HERE. On or about Enter
Date Here, we received a Performance Notification categorized as a “Safety Complaint.”

We respectfully request that your team reviews this thorough explanation of the issue
being reported by customers as concrete evidence that ASIN LIST ASIN HERE is
COMPLETELY SAFE FOR AMAZON CUSTOMERS and that our selling privileges of the same
be reinstated.

Nothing matters so much to us as the quality of our products and our commitment to
provide a safe and effective product for every one of our customers, no matter where our
product is purchased, including Amazon. As you can tell from our track record, we have
never had a recall or any consumer safety complaint filed with any regulatory agency,
including the FDA. We have an exemplary safety record. As such, we take this Safety
Complaint Performance Notification very seriously.

Below is our detailed response to your request for our plan of action on how to avoid
safety complaints in the future and do our part to make certain that customers for this
product and all YOUR BRAND HERE (if applicable) products has a positive experience on
Amazon.com.

Issue Reported

“Product contains odor” or “product appearance is different from previous orders”

Immediate Response and Corrective Actions Taken

 íëìóĺ
7lĺ
1JS ƅƄ

1. Verification of Formula and Materials: Upon receiving the Seller Performance

Notification, we immediately connected with our FDA Registered manufacturing facility to
report the complaint. The supplier of our primary probiotic strain, LACTOSPORE, found in
ASIN LIST ASIN HERE, is Sabinsa Corporation, the most prominent USA based, FDA
Registered manufacturing facilities that provides clinically researched, science supported,
premium grade probiotic strains.

“We draw your attention to the attached statement from Sabinsa Corporation. Which
reads, “This is to confirm that Sami Labs / Sabinsa Corporation’s product, LACTOSPORE,
may have slight odor and the odor may vary from batch to batch.”

Please note that the reported issue with the ASIN is within the normal organoleptic
qualities expected with dietary supplements that contain a higher concentration of good
bacteria for digestive health.

2. Removal and Quality Investigation: To ensure that this issue is further investigated, we
are willing to remove our current inventory of ASIN LIST ASIN HERE and send
replenishment inventory at once.

3. Adjustment to Packaging Standard: we will begin inserting cotton and desiccants into
each bottle of ASIN LIST ASIN HERE to help prevent moisture collection in the PET bottles in
which the product is packaged.

4. Coating Tablets: we have been applying a clear coating to this tablet product, which
allows product variations in raw materials to be visible to consumers. We have already
begun applying a white coating to the tablets to create a more consistent look and feel to
the tablet.

IN SUMMARY, THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT PRESENT A SAFETY CONCERN FOR AMAZON
CUSTOMERS. HOWEVER, WE WILL TAKE IMMEDIATE ADDITIONAL MEASURES TO ENSURE A
POSITIVE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE BY REMOVING UNITS, PERFORMING AN ADDITIONAL
QUALITY INVESTIGATION, WHITE COATING THE TABLETS, AND ADDING MOISTURE
PREVENTION MEASURES TO EACH BOTTLE TO ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN
UNPLEASANT ODOR.

Also, please find below an outline of the stringent efforts we make to ensure consumer
safety through the application of our Quality Management System (QMS).

There is nothing worse than when another seller hijacks your listing and
begins fraudulently selling your product. Here are the steps to get them off of
your listing for good.

1. Buy the product from the seller. (verify it is counterfeit)

2. Report that seller via seller central by opening a case. Click help,
then contact us, chose selling on Amazon, select other issues, and
then report a violation.

3. Go ahead and select the report listing abuse option. When you select
this field, you will be able to explain to Amazon what exactly is going
on. The nice thing is that you will be able to put in the ASIN that is
having the counterfeit issues and also insert which sellers are doing
this action.

4. When describing your issue to Amazon, make sure to be as detailed

as possible. By no means does it have to be an essay as amazon will
most likely not even read it all at that point. Just be very informative
with accurate information.
 íëìóĺ

Below is an example of what to include when reporting a seller:

“Dear Amazon,

It has come to our attention that this seller [Input Seller Name Here] has committed
fraudulent activity for this ASIN [Input ASIN Here].

Here is the order number [Insert Order ID Here] for the test buy, with attached images of
the fraudulent product that [Input Fraudulent Seller Name Here] is shipping to customers.

Please remove this seller from the listing for ASIN [Input ASIN Here].

We appreciate your help in removing this seller.

Thank You”

Another option that a seller can do is to submit an infringement form (only applicable is the
seller has a trademark/patent for their brand/product)

This process can be done from a buying account (not seller central). Here is the link to the
infringement form. https://www.amazon.com/report/infringement

All you will need to do is fill out this form and submit it. There are 3 options when filling out
this form which are copyright concerns, trademark concerns, and patent concerns. Just
pick the correct incident and fill out this form as best as you can. Be specific and let
Amazon know what exactly that seller is doing.

There are plenty of guides out there on
what you should do to be a successful
Amazon Seller. But what about things you
shouldn’t do? Avoid these practices if you
want to gain the Amazon Best Seller Badge 
or ranking and stay on Amazon’s good side.
 íëìóĺ

ˀ˜˦˟˘˔˗˜ˡ˚˃˥ˢ˗˨˖˧ʿ˜˦˧˜ˡ˚˦ʭ

It can be tempting to list your products in a ton of categories, especially if those products have
already earned the Amazon Best Seller Ranking in others. But if your product is only loosely
related to the category you’re placing it in, you’ll run into more problems than benefits.

If your product is highly ranked, Amazon buyers are going to click on it first. Once they see that your
product isn’t what they’re looking for, however, they’ll quickly look elsewhere for what they actually
want. Your listing will accrue high exit rates and low conversions, not to mention negative reviews
from dissatisfied customers. You’ll wind up losing business, the Amazon Best Seller Badge and
potentially your store. As the old saying goes, honesty is the best policy.

ʴ˗˩˘˥˧˜˦˜ˡ˚ˢ˥˃˥ˢˠˢ˧˜ˡ˚ˌˢ˨˥ˊ˘˕˦˜˧˘ʭ

Amazon Sellers often have their own private websites, as well as their Amazon store, where they sell
their products. It’s common for these sellers to view Amazon as a cost-effective advertising solution.
It allows them to dip into a much larger consumer base than their own niche website offers. As such,
they use promotional language or links to their personal website within their Amazon listings.

This is a big no-no. Including a URL to your website or seller information, like your business name, in
your product listing is an Amazon policy violation. When you choose to sell with Amazon, you
choose to enter a closed selling system — you give up the ability to freely promote your outside
business and products.

The large shopper base can make losing those freedoms worth it for some. If you work hard to
follow Amazon’s policies and earn the Amazon Best Seller Ranking or badge, you’ll reap so many
rewards that not being able to include a website link won’t seem so bad!
 íëìóĺ
7lĺ
1JS ƆƄ

ʶˢˣˬ˜ˡ˚ˆ˘˧˨ˣ˦ʭ

It can be tempting, especially for beginners, to copy other Amazon Sellers’ store setups. Even if they
are a reputable store, this isn’t a good idea. As with other search engines, there are certain ways to
optimize your product listings to snag customers. Not everyone takes advantage of this, however, so
copying another seller account comes with the risk of creating a subpar account for yourself. This
will make it much harder to earn the Amazon Best Seller Badge and its benefits.

ʼˡ˖˟˨˗˜ˡ˚ʼˡ˙ˢ˥ˠ˔˧˜ˢˡˇ˛˔˧ʼ˦ˡϠ˧ʴ˟˟ˢ˪˘˗ʭ

On top of not advertising your own website with URLs, there are quite a few other marketing tactics
that Amazon doesn’t allow in your listings. This is especially true of product titles. Amazon prohibits
information and symbols such as:

● Promotional language, e.g. “Sale,” “Free Shipping” or “Lowest Price”

● Coupon information, such as “20% Off”
● HTML code
● Prominent usage of ALL CAPS
● Certain special symbols: &, !, *, $, etc.

Including such language or symbols is a surefire way to wind up with a suppressed listing. Using 
Amazon seller software tools can help you keep track of issues with your listings — because
sometimes you include a prohibited phrase or symbol by accident! You don’t want to lose out on
business because you’re unaware of a hidden listing.
 íëìóĺ
7lĺ
1JS Ɔƅ

ʿ˔˧˘˂˥˂˩˘˥ˣ˥˜˖˘˗ˆ˛˜ˣˣ˜ˡ˚ʭ

In the quest for the Amazon Best Seller Ranking, a common tactic is to have the cheapest price
possible on your listing. One way that many sellers make up for these reduced prices is to jack up
the price of shipping. Unfortunately for them, exorbitant shipping costs are a quick way to get
removed from a shopper’s cart. They would rather pay a bit more for a product with cheaper,
quicker shipping, especially if they’re a Prime member.

Delivering a product behind schedule is another Amazon faux pas. Even if a shopper doesn’t use
Prime, they still expect to receive their item within a reasonable time frame — the one you set. Not
delivering within your specified time can land you a host of scathing reviews, which will seriously
damage your rank.

Remember that quote about honesty? Stick with realistic, manageable shipping dates and, even if it’s
not two-day shipping, your customers will appreciate receiving their order in a timely fashion.

Whether you’re a new or experienced member of the Amazon Marketplace, you know that
creating a successful seller account can be challenging. Especially if some of your listings aren’t
actually listed.

A common problem that many sellers face is a suppressed

a  Amazon listing. This occurs when your
product listing is incomplete, formatted incorrectly, or missing the data required by Amazon’s
standards. When your listing is suppressed, it doesn’t show up in product searches, even though it
still appears in your inventory. You could be missing out on sales and not even know it! It’s a
relatively easy problem to remedy but, without Amazon seller software to alert you of such changes,
it can be catastrophic for your sales goals.

There are several reasons that product suppression occurs, many of them simple mistakes. One of
the most common is adding a main image that isn’t set against a plain white background, or failing
to add an image at all. Another could be that you forgot to enter a value in the Category field, which
is a problem for all but a few U.S. categories. Simply enter values where they are missing or add an
appropriate image and you’ll be back on track in no time.

So, how do you do that? Luckily, it’s a fairly simple process that you can complete manually. The
steps, as shown in the Amazon Seller Forum, are listed below.

ʻˢ˪ˇˢʹ˜˫ˆ˨ˣˣ˥˘˦˦˘˗ʿ˜˦˧˜ˡ˚˦˂ˡʴˠ˔˭ˢˡ
1. Go to Manage Inventory.

2. Select Fix Suppressed Listings in the left navigation pane. Note: Fix Suppressed Listings is only
visible if you actually have suppressed listings.

3. Select a viewing option, like All Suppressed Listings. Other subsets could be directly related to
the problem, such as Image Missing.

4. Click the Actions link for a listing and select an option, such as Edit Details (Fix Listings).

5. On the Amazon Product Summary page, select a tab with an alert indicator. Red exclamation
points indicate suppressed listings while yellow triangles indicate quality alerts.

6. Click Save and finish after you have resolved all alerts.

It is important to keep in mind that Amazon does not always tell you when your product has been
suppressed. This is something you have to check on manually, yet another time-consuming task
stacked on top of your already-long list of daily upkeep. Fortunately, it’s also something that
AMZAlert can keep tabs on for you.

We’ll provide suppressed
provide  Amazon listing alerts via text and email notifications whenever
something changes in your product listing, meaning you’ll know right away if one of your listings has
been suppressed. You’ll save time and money, which can both go toward more important things —
like continuing to add new listings to a successful store and, just maybe, putting your feet up and
relaxing!

We hope you found this information extremely valuable.

Whether you are just beginning to start selling on

Amazon, you’re a private labeler, wholesaler, retail
arbitrage, manufacturer, etc, we all have one thing in
common – we NEED to monitor our Amazon Listings.

If you aren’t checking these things, round the clock, I

promise you – you’re wasting thousands of dollars and
missing huge opportunities. Seriously, when I started
monitoring my listings, I took my business from 2M a
year to over 10M a year in sales. Actively monitoring
your Amazon listings is the SINGLE most important thing
you can do for your Amazon business.

Let AMZ Alert do the work for you and finally sleep
better at night with your booming Amazon business.
