Understanding Amazon’s Section 3 Suspension

Section 3 of Amazon’s Business Solutions Agreement covers broad terms, including compliance with Amazon's policies and verification requirements. If Amazon believes your account has failed identity verification, you’ll typically receive a message stating:

  • “Your account is at risk or has been deactivated in accordance with Section 3 of the Business Solutions Agreement.”

  • They may also mention “fraudulent or deceptive activity” without providing specific details.

This often leaves sellers confused because they weren’t intentionally trying to violate any policies.


Why Does Amazon Suspend Accounts for Verification Failures?


Amazon might suspend your account if:

  • Your submitted documents (ID, bank statement, or credit card statement) don’t match your seller account information.



     
  • Inconsistencies are found between your registered business information and uploaded documents.
  • You failed a virtual video verification meeting.

In most cases, sellers are unprepared for the verification process and unknowingly make mistakes.


Steps to Appeal an Amazon Verification Suspension

If your account has been suspended, follow these steps:

1. Review the Suspension Notice Carefully

  • Understand what Amazon is asking for in their email.
  • Take note of the documents they’ve requested (ID, bank statements, invoices, etc.).

2. Gather Accurate Documents

  • Ensure your ID matches your seller account name.
  • Bank or credit card statements should be recent and match your registered business address.

3. Prepare for a Virtual Call (If Required)

  • Be in a quiet, well-lit room.
  • Have all your documents ready (Printed physically and saved in PDF)  *ensure they’re easy to access.

4. Avoid Common Mistakes

  • Don’t submit blurry or incomplete documents.
  • *Don't submit information Amazon did not request.
  • Don’t provide inconsistent information.
    NAME & ADDRESS needs to match all across.
  • Avoid rushing the appeal process.

5. Craft a Strong Appeal Letter

  • Keep it professional and factual.
  • Explain why the issue happened and how you’ve corrected it.
  • Attach the required documents.
  • ENSURE YOU HAVE PREPARED EVERYTHING PROPERLY BEFORE YOU CONTACT AMAZON AGAIN.
    Amazon initially provided a list of information they required/requested from you; you need to ensure you prepare.

6. Submit Your Appeal

  • Double-check your submission for accuracy.
  • Be patient, as Amazon’s response can take time.
