The main methods for dealing with violations of associated accounts include identifying the problem, negotiating, and providing records.
(1) Identifying the problem
Based on the reasons for violations of associated accounts listed above, sellers should identify the specific reasons that led to the closure of the account and deal with them as soon as possible. Amazon generally notifies sellers that their sales privileges have been removed for two reasons: operating multiple seller accounts or the existing account is associated with a closed account. Sellers can compare all account information to find out where the problem is.
(2) Negotiating
If the account is closed, you can try to appeal to Amazon for restoration, which may be one of the most difficult things a seller has to face. Unless there is a legitimate reason for opening two accounts, it is difficult to win the appeal. Even so, sellers should be open-minded and negotiate with Amazon in a positive manner.
If the seller deliberately operates two accounts, then they should also contact Amazon to show that the two accounts are completely independent. The seller needs to prove that the two accounts operate completely different products, suppliers, logistics systems, and even business models, and put forward all factors that can distinguish the two accounts.
(3) Providing records
If Amazon once allowed the seller to open two accounts, but then changed its mind and asked to close one account. At this time, the seller can provide Amazon with all the records of negotiations with Amazon to help increase the probability of winning the case.
Avoidance strategies for violations of associated accounts
Sellers should be careful not to let two Amazon stores use the same P address and corporate information during operations, so as to avoid violations of associated accounts.
