Suspended Amazon Account – Case Study – Superwarehouse Casestudy

Name: Amazon Suspension Appeal
Brand: The Appeal Guru
Rating: 5 (1235 reviews)

Client Background

Our client is an e-commerce seller who was using Amazon to grow their online business.
They had been selling a range of products successfully and decided to hire a Virtual Assistant (VA) to help manage the increasing workload. The VA was responsible for customer service and order management.

Suspension Reason & Challenges

The client’s Amazon account was suspended because the VA violated Amazon’s “Customer Product Review Policies.” The VA reached out to customers, offering refunds in exchange for removing or changing negative reviews, which Amazon strictly forbids. The client didn’t approve or know about these actions, but they took full responsibility for the oversight. The suspension caused a loss in sales, restricted access to funds, and damaged the business’s reputation on Amazon.

Our Appeal Strategy

The appeal process began with a thorough analysis of Amazon’s suspension notice. We identified the root causes of the issue: the failure in vetting the VA and ensuring adherence to Amazon’s policies. We’ve advised client to acknowledge the violation, even though the VA was behind the unauthorized actions.

Ultimately, the client is accountable for everything that happens on their Amazon account. We then created a Plan of Action, outlining corrective measures such as the termination letter of the VA, direct communication with affected customers, and the implementation of stricter internal protocols.

The client also provided us with supporting documentation, such as the hiring contract and the termination letter for the VA and the order details that caused this violation.

Outcome & results

After multiple calls with Amazon and submitting 3 appeals in total, our client’s account was reinstated. The positive impact on the business was evident through a recovery in sales, improved compliance, and stronger internal oversight mechanisms. The client has since implemented ongoing staff training, compliance monitoring, and third-party vetting processes. These steps ensure that the business is fully aligned with Amazon’s policies and that such violations will not re-occur.
