⚠️ If your Amazon seller account has been deactivated, don’t rush to buy a new one. Weigh all the risks first ⬇️
A seller recently came to us after buying an account just one week earlier. After the purchase:
▪️all old inventory was deleted
▪️he was getting the account ready to launch his own brand
▪️there wasn’t a single active listing when it was deactivated
Amazon deactivated it anyway, for an Intellectual Property policy violation.
The notice cited a major, well-known brand. The ASIN had never had a sale, and the product was added long before the account changed hands.
❗️ Why did this happen, even with no active listings?
1️⃣ Amazon looks at the account’s history, not just its current activity. Past violations, listings, ASINs, and complaints stay on record.
2️⃣ Deleting inventory doesn’t clean the account. Amazon still sees the full history.
3️⃣ When you buy an account, you inherit the previous owner’s risks, whether you know about them or not.
Buying an account means buying someone else’s history, violations, and risks. Even an account that looks clean can come with problems.
Getting your own account reinstated is the safest way back to selling.
