Amazon Suspension: Suspected Intellectual Property (IP) Violations
If your Amazon seller account has been suspended for Suspected Intellectual Property Violations, it means Amazon believes your listings may be infringing on someone else’s IP rights, even if no formal complaint has been filed by a rights owner. This type of suspension is often triggered by automated detection, reports from buyers, or inconsistencies in your listings.
While not always based on confirmed legal claims, these suspicions are taken seriously by Amazon and can result in ASIN removals, account warnings, or complete account deactivation.

- You source from unreliable suppliers without documentation
- Your product titles or images reference well-known brands incorrectly
