Breaking News for Amazon Sellers: Avoiding Business Verification Suspensions

Hello, Amazon sellers! Dana Rodriguez here, bringing you important updates on recent trends and issues that could impact your Amazon business. Let’s dive into the latest challenges surrounding Amazon business verification suspensions and other critical topics.

1. Business Verification Suspensions and Wyoming LLCs

Recently, we’ve seen a sharp increase in business verification suspensions for companies registered in Wyoming. Although the exact reason remains unclear, sellers who registered in Wyoming are facing a higher rate of rejected appeals. If you’re considering Wyoming as your business base, explore alternative registration options to minimize suspension risks.

2. Message from CJ Rosenbaum: Real People Behind Amazon Appeals

In a recent message from India, CJ Rosenbaum shared insight into Amazon’s account review process. Amazon’s review team is composed of hard-working professionals who genuinely assess your plans of action and IP issues. These individuals strive to evaluate each case with integrity, though the rules can sometimes be unclear. Keep this in mind when submitting your appeals and understand that Amazon’s team is working diligently on your behalf.

3. ASIN Variation Abuse Warnings

Variation abuse is another growing concern, particularly for sellers with ASIN variations that do not align with Amazon’s policies. We are seeing accounts suspended due to “child” product listings that aren’t true variations of the parent product. Amazon often issues warnings via email before suspending an account, so check both your email and performance notifications frequently.

4. Hijackers and Brand Registered Sellers

An alarming trend impacting brand-registered sellers is the influx of IP complaints on their own listings. Hijackers sometimes modify listings to include their brand name, leading to IP disputes. If this happens, provide Amazon with proof, such as screenshots of original titles or previous orders. This evidence can help Amazon verify your brand ownership and resolve the issue.
