How a Shared Business Address Triggered an Amazon Related Suspension: Case Study

🚫 The Challenge: Suspended for a Related Account Violation

Amazon related account suspension is one of the most confusing and frustrating issues sellers face.A client contacted us after receiving a sudden Amazon seller account deactivation notice. The reason? Alleged connection to another account that had violated Amazon policies.

The most confusing part?

The client had no idea what this “related” account was. He was confident it was a mistake, but while trying to understand what happened, his funds were frozen and all sales activity stopped. He turned to us for a fast, professional solution.

🔍 Case Investigation: Finding the Root of the Problem

We started with a one-on-one consultation to understand the full situation.
During the call, we discovered a key detail:
The client had used a third-party service to register his business and rented a virtual business address from them for his Amazon account.

Our team suspected the issue was tied to that address.
After deeper investigation, we confirmed it:
Another seller using the same rental service had also registered an Amazon account with the same business address.

As a result, Amazon linked the two accounts together. Once the other account (owned by a different seller) was deactivated due to a policy violation, Amazon automatically suspended our client’s account as a “related” one, even though he had no connection to it.

This common scenario — multiple sellers using the same address service often triggers false related account suspensions.

🛠 Our Solution: What We Did to Reinstate the Account

Our mission was clear: prove that the suspended accounts were not connected and demonstrate that the issue stemmed from a third-party service provider.

Here’s how we built a successful Amazon appeal for related account suspension step by step:

1. Gathering Evidence

We contacted the virtual address rental provider and requested a formal confirmation letter stating that our client had rented the business address through their service. This was the first piece of evidence showing that the same address may have been used by multiple unrelated clients.

2. Preparing the Appeal

We compiled a professional appeal package that included:

This documentation was aimed at showing Amazon that our client had no connection to the other account.

3. Submitting the Appeal

We submitted the appeal through Amazon Seller Central. However, it was initially rejected due to "insufficient evidence."

Rejection due to “insufficient evidence” is very common in Amazon related account suspension cases — in fact, over 80% of first appeals are denied for this exact reason. Amazon’s system often demands multiple layers of verifiable proof and a logically structured explanation before reconsidering the case.

That’s why we didn’t stop there. We knew the case was winnable — it just needed stronger documentation.

4. Strengthening and Resubmitting the Appeal

We revised our strategy and added new supporting documents to reinforce the case:

We then resubmitted the appeal with all updated evidence.

✅ The Result: Account Reinstated

Within a few days of submitting the revised appeal, Amazon reviewed the case, removed the suspension, and reinstated the account.

The client regained full access to their seller account, and all withheld funds were released.
Most importantly, the business was back on track — and our client could resume selling on Amazon with confidence.

💡 Takeaway: How to Avoid Amazon Multiple Account Suspensions

Amazon’s automated systems often link accounts based on shared data such as:

Even if you’re not operating multiple Amazon accounts, using shared services or overlapping details can lead to account linkage — and trigger a related account suspension.

✅ Best Practices to Protect Your Amazon Seller Account

  1. Use a unique business address and contact information that hasn’t been used by other sellers.
  2. Choose only trusted third-party service providers who guarantee data privacy and account safety.
  3. Never reuse the same documents (IDs, invoices, utility bills, etc.) across multiple Amazon accounts.

❗️Got Suspended? Don’t Handle It Alone

If your account has been suspended, don’t risk it with trial-and-error. Let professionals take over.
Here’s why that’s important:

  1. Avoid the risk of permanent account deactivation
