Urgent Account suspended
Hello,
I received an email from Amazon stating that my account has been suspended due to a violation and that it is not in compliance with Section 3 of Amazon's policy. I find this quite confusing, as we have never used the account for trading, selling, buying, or reviewing products on Amazon. and our products still under production in China, We also do not have any other accounts under the same entity. It seems like there might be an issue with Amazon’s system.
When I logged into Seller Central, I was instructed to appeal and provide an explanation to reactivate my account. However, I'm unsure what to explain since no direct reason for the suspension has been provided. Could you please guide me on how to proceed? I’ve already opened two cases (Case #17046429821 and Case #17045733791), but the responses I received were not helpful.
Thank you for your assistance.

What product and BRAND are you trying to sell?
Seller_R6Pw3cjCRwLNP
Ok you do not have any other accounts "under the same entity". Do you have any other accounts selling other things and were deactivated for any reason?
Multiple selling accounts on Amazon
You may only maintain one Seller Central account for each region in which you sell unless you have a legitimate business need to open a second account and all of your accounts are in good standing. If any of your accounts are not in good standing, we may deactivate all of your selling accounts until all accounts are in good standing.

"No any other accounts under the same entity, "
You keep repeating " under the same entity, " which is weasel/waffle language.
If you have a different account under ANY NAME and it is selling or even trying to sell the same product lines and in the same categories it IS A VIOLATION of Amazon policies.
SO -- do you have other accounts and DO NOT say "under the same entity" since that is NOT a legitimate answer.
Seller_q5wyUcxXMSGIz
No, I do not have another account. However, to my knowledge, Amazon does not prohibit having multiple accounts as long as they belong to different entities and represent different brands.
Amazon notification about my account deactivation "we confirmed that your Amazon seller account has been used to engage in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity that harms our customers, other selling partners, and our store." , I believe it is related to account Identity/Ownership

Those charges are very hard to overcome these days.
This comes from a post some time ago by Amazon veteran seller @Seller_4zBzdtgCyS9EIwho came up with this list.
Here are some of the many possibilities for the wording “involved in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity”
Friends or family have purchased from you and left reviews or feedback for you
Friends or family have purchased from your competition and left negative reviews or feedback for them
You have attempted to change brand names and / or titles in existing listings
You have listed products that are not allowed
You have listed products in wrong categories to get around restrictions
You have marked order shipped or printed labels for certain days, but did not actually ship them on the dates indicated
You have had communications with buyers, such as feedback solicitation marked as another reason for contact, that wasn't allowed
and many more
