Exciting! A multi-million-dollar seller account was blocked, and Amazon sent a shocking email!

It is already late February, and many cross-border companies have already formulated their annual sales plans and started to implement them. However, for some sellers, 2022 is a bad start. Not only have they suffered a decline in both traffic and sales, but they have also had to face the pranks of their peers and various difficulties from Amazon.

 
Recently, a large number of sellers have been distressed because their accounts have been blocked. Some sellers even posted videos in anger, attracting many users to watch.
 












The seller's account was blocked, and he angrily posted a video to ask for an explanation.















It is learned that recently, a video on TikTok attracted the attention of many users. A foreign Amazon seller said in the video: Amazon mistakenly deactivated my account and said that I had another account.
 
 
In the video posted by the seller, the seller showed a screenshot of the background of the closed account and attached a text explaining what happened:
Amazon deactivated my seller account with $25,000 worth of inventory in their fba warehouses. They are claiming i have another account, which i don't. They crush innocent sellers everyday with no recourse.
 
The seller stated that his account had been suspended by Amazon, but he denied the reason given by Amazon (suspected connection) and insisted that he did not have multiple accounts.
 
At the same time, after the seller's account was deactivated, the funds in his account were also frozen, but the seller still had a large amount of inventory in the Amazon FBA warehouse, with a total value of US$25,000.
 
It is learned that the user is named Tyler Phillips, a local seller on the US site. He started his Amazon business as early as 2017. Currently, his monthly sales on Amazon have exceeded 10,000, and his volume has reached 10 million. He is a big seller. However, he was banned by Amazon without violating any rules. His loss is immeasurable.
 
As of now, the video has been played about 300,000 times on Tik Tok. As the popularity of the video continued to rise, the incident fermented quickly and attracted the attention of a large number of peer sellers.
 
At the same time, in the comment section of the video, there were discussions about Amazon's account blocking operations, and many sellers claimed that they had the same experience as the blogger:
 
"My account was blocked for no reason before Christmas, which forced me to put more than $60,000 worth of inventory on hold."
“Amazon blocked my account by mistake and gave no explanation.”
“This is not an isolated case. Amazon always bans accounts for no apparent reason.”
 
 
It seems that it is not only Chinese sellers who are troubled by Amazon’s account suspension, but also foreign sellers who are confused by Amazon’s misjudgment. However, the good news is that Amazon has unblocked the seller’s account and allowed it to continue selling on the platform.
 
However, for some sellers, they are not so lucky when their accounts are shut down. Nowadays, Amazon’s system will occasionally clean up seller accounts, and even accounts with no violation records will be killed by mistake.
 












A large number of accounts were shut down and a number of sellers were restricted















It was learned that on Valentine's Day, a video on a short video platform caused heated discussion among sellers.
 
Judging from the video, more than a dozen accounts of this seller received warnings that "account has been closed", and the Amazon backend page on the computer was all red, which was a horrible sight.
 
According to the seller’s reply, these closed accounts were a batch of new accounts stockpiled before the New Year, and the reason for the closure may be that there is no sales record.
 

 
As of now, it is not clear whether the seller's subsequent handling and account recovery have been completed. However, it is understood that this incident is not an isolated case.
 
After returning from the Spring Festival holiday, many sellers reported that their accounts were shut down by Amazon for various reasons, such as no sales records, suspected manipulation of reviews, association with other accounts, etc. However, what is puzzling is that both new and old accounts have experienced the above situations, and many innocent sellers have also been accidentally injured.
 

 
In addition, recently, many sellers have received Amazon's flow restriction emails: We have detected suspicious buyer review activities on the opinions or multiple items you sell in our store. In view of the existence of this activity, we will reduce the exposure of the affected products in search results and promotion channels.
 
In other words, the seller’s account that receives this email will have its link click rate severely restricted, and the chance of selling the product will be greatly reduced, which is a big blow to the seller.
 
 
Amazon's successive moves have made sellers nervous. Is it going to do another big cleanup just after the holidays? "Amazon is really getting harder and harder to do business," many sellers lamented.
 
Under the double blow of traffic restrictions and Amazon policies, many sellers began to seek other operating methods, but even white hat operations cannot be separated from the boost of the number of reviews. In order to get more positive reviews, sellers are racking their brains.
 
According to the person in charge of Mailzone, the traditional evaluation methods (such as placing orders, finding intermediaries and brushing orders, etc.) are no longer effective. Affected by the wave of Amazon account suspensions, many sellers have realized that rough order brushing not only cannot guarantee the effect, but also has high risks. If Amazon holds them accountable later, the loss will outweigh the gain.
 
So what other methods are there to ensure the security of the account while helping sellers to effectively post reviews and increase sales?
 
Many experienced sellers recommended the Mailzone system to us and sent us feedback after testing:
