Amazon Suspension: Restricted Product Policy Violations

If your Amazon seller account has been suspended for Restricted Product Policy Violations, it means you’ve listed or sold items that are prohibited or regulated under Amazon’s selling policies. Amazon maintains strict guidelines to protect customer safety, ensure legal compliance, and uphold marketplace integrity. Even unintentional violations can result in ASIN removals, policy warnings, or full account suspension.

What Are Restricted Product Policy Violations?

Amazon restricts or prohibits the sale of certain products for legal, safety, or compliance reasons. Common violations include:

1000 F 1309055143 8zWsYkMAXizCWcAqGXcYE1ZeMKa4jzTo
  • Selling prohibited items, such as weapons, illegal drugs, or recalled products
  • Listing regulated goods without required approvals (e.g., pesticides, dietary supplements)
  • Offering counterfeit or unauthorized health products
  • Selling internationally restricted items without necessary export/import licenses

Even if a product seems legal, it may still fall under Amazon’s restricted categories and require prior approval or compliance documentation.

Why Amazon Suspends for Restricted Product Violations

Amazon uses automated systems, customer reports, and brand-owner complaints to detect violations. If your product is flagged:

  • Your listing will be removed immediately
  • Amazon may request documentation or certifications
  • Your account may be suspended, especially with repeat offenses
  • Funds may be held during the investigation

This suspension can certainly be fixed, but will take multiple appeals and a detailed plan of action before
we can get you selling again. On average it takes 8 appeals and revisions of the plan of action before we get your account reinstated.
