Hello,

I am experiencing issues with the identity verification process for my Amazon.com.au seller account. I have submitted all the required official documents (ID, address proof, etc.) completely and in their original form. However, I received feedback that my documents were not accepted. Unfortunately, I was not provided with clear information about which document was rejected or the reason for the rejection.

The same documents were successfully approved on my Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, and Amazon.mx accounts without any problems. Therefore, I am confident that my documents are valid and compliant.

Additionally, due to character restrictions on Amazon.com.au (such as vowels), my account information may not exactly match the details on my official documents. In my country, the use of vowels in legal names is mandatory, and these vowels appear on my official documents.

I have contacted Amazon support to explain this situation but have yet to receive a clear response. Has anyone else experienced this issue? How can I find out which document is causing the problem?

Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

Inauthentic Products and invoices
by Seller_xHMLFO1dbwJod

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get some feedback and also bring attention to an issue that’s seriously hurting my business and probably many others.

Lately, I’ve had multiple generic products (which I source directly from trusted manufacturers in China) flagged and taken down due to “inauthentic product” complaints. These are products that are not branded — they are completely generic — so I don’t understand how they can even be reported as fake.

What’s worse is that Amazon keeps rejecting my genuine invoices and supplier receipts, including valid Alibaba trade assurance invoices and factory invoices. I’ve done everything correctly — I have real supply chains, real factories, real invoices — yet my listings stay down, and my account is at risk.

This situation is costing me thousands of dollars in lost sales and causing so much stress for my team. I understand the need to protect buyers, but when sellers like us do everything right and still get suspended because of false “inauthentic” complaints, it feels extremely unfair — especially for generic products that can’t really be “counterfeit.”

I know I’m not alone — I see so many other sellers with the same issue, and it feels like the system is broken when genuine documents are not good enough to reinstate a listing.

👉 Amazon, please improve the process for verifying legitimate invoices and resolving inauthentic product claims fairly. This is putting small businesses at risk and letting false complaints ruin livelihoods.

If anyone has successfully appealed these kinds of takedowns, or has tips for how to get Amazon to actually accept genuine supplier documents, I’d love to hear it.

Thanks for listening — I really hope this sparks some discussion and maybe gets some Amazon eyes on this problem.

Hi @Seller_5zI0wsS66MHFL and Amazon Support,

I’m reopening this issue as my previous thread is locked and the problem remains unresolved.

My Amazon Australia seller account (CozyAus) is still marked as inactive, even though I have completed and passed all required verifications:

✅ Video verification approved: 29 April 2025

✅ Seller Identity Verification approved: 13 May 2025

❌ Account status as of 18 May 2025: Still inactive

Despite this, Amazon continues to charge me FBA storage fees for inventory at BWU2, even though I can’t generate sales.

I’ve reached out to Seller Support many times, and while I was told the issue was with the payment method, my AU debit card is valid and being charged without fail. I only sell in AU – I don’t operate in Mexico, yet the system repeatedly prompts me to add a card for other marketplaces I don’t use.

@Seller_5zI0wsS66MHFL, I really appreciated your previous reply stating that the specialist team was reviewing it, but that was nearly a month ago. There’s been no follow-up since. I’ve done everything required from my side, but my account remains stuck and I’m incurring financial loss with no way to sell.

Can this please be escalated internally or directed to someone who can review and reactivate the AU account?

Thank you,

Cassie (CozyAus)

Hello everyone,

My Amazon AU account was recently deactivated under Section 3 of the Business Solutions Agreement. I currently have an open case (ID: 3069323993) but unfortunately, the response I received so far has not resolved my issue, so I wanted to seek advice here as well.

I completely understand and support Amazon’s identity and address verification checks, as I know they help protect the marketplace and customers. However, I have not received any notification of a policy violation. Only an email asking me to submit documents for identity and address verification. ( Please check comments on this post to see the initial email I received)

To comply, I have already provided:

  • My ID
  • My passport
  • My driver’s license
  • A recent water bill (utility bill)
  • My water service agreement (to help verify my address)
  • Payoneer statement
  • Card statement
  • Bank account statements (for both US and AUD receiving accounts)
  • An official document from the Turkish government confirming my residential address
  • My lease agreement (to further support address verification)

Despite sending all of these, my account is still inactive and Account Health Specialist told me it will remain deactivated due to nature of this deactivation. I truly believe there might be an oversight or misunderstanding, as my account is otherwise in good standing and has no other health issues, shows no policy violation. And most importantly I did not make any sales yet because my products are currently on ship.

If anyone has any suggestions or has dealt with a similar situation, I would greatly appreciate your advice on what steps I can take next to resolve this.

Thank you so much for your time and help.

Kind regards,

My Amazon account was deactivated completely due to an IP complaint to where they would not accept my invoice. I had zero sales of this item, and they were only ever listed as FBM, and I only ever had two. After many unsuccessful appeals, I got another Section 3 for Unsuitable Investigations Policy Inventory. I submitted my appeal, never heard anything back, and now when I'm trying to get my final disbursement, Amazon is saying that my account is linked to an Indian account.

I'm requesting assistance because I take selling on Amazon and its customers very seriously, and I want to get back to serving our customers and our community. I serve my country honorably in uniform, and behind my storefront. I am requesting help with my situation.

OCT Medication Documentation delays in approval
by Seller_dn62fkIUR0FBp

Hello,

CASE ID: 3045522643

I have been requested to submit OCT medication in order for my product to be listed, we are TGA listed, and submitted the TGAR public summary as requested. I keep getting the same template email, every single day since then, stating that it would only take 2-3 business days. It has now been over 5 weeks, without any updates or adequate response to my endless communication attempts.

I'm you sure you can understand my frustration and I would really appreciate some efficient support or any kind of information/help regarding this matter from an Amazon community manager.

Many thanks

Amazon Accounting doesn't respond
by Seller_9dqWFK7Oao4w9

My account is suspended 4 months ago because of wrong voltage listing.

None of the delivered order had an issue or any relations with the suspend reason.

First they said 29th April is the last day of account review and now Australia accounting doesn't even respond to me for a month.

All A-Z warranties are over and there are no any claims.

My funds are still on hold over 4 month.

Its too funny that Amazon need to hold 3k usd for such a long time..

Section 3 on my Account
by Seller_zUfrytKoib6e6

Hi

I am writing to discuss regarding the deactivation of my Amazon Seller Central account. I am in the process of launching my private label brand and had submitted all the required information during account creation, including a valid debit card and government-issued identity documents.

To clarify, my brand is a private label, and I operate an official website featuring the same products listed on Amazon. I created my product listings using original images and content, fully compliant with Amazon's guidelines and policies. My inventory was prepared and ready to be shipped to Amazon fulfillment centers via the FBA program, and I had already generated and applied Amazon-compliant product labels.

On April 16, I received a notification that my account had been deactivated. In response to the initial appeal request, I submitted a valid business license and a utility bill with my name. Unfortunately, my appeal was rejected. I then submitted a second appeal with additional documentation but have not yet received a response.

2 days ago I have submitted a new appeal along with the following supporting documents that Amazon required for removing deactivation

Government-issued driver's license

Business license and utility bill (resubmitted for reference)

Bank statements

Internet bill

Complete company and owner details

All of these documents are included with a PDF fileS

i again recieved a response on apeal section that We completed our evaluation of your submission. We do not have enough information to remove the violation at this time.

Please help me what I can do now

Sincerely,

Australian site is not on sale
by Seller_wrLDwiLoGQksF

Dear Amazon Seller Support Team

Hello:

My Australian site uploaded the review documents on 5.19, but it has not started reviewing until now. The Australian site in the account is currently in a non-sale state. The current inventory has been in Amazon warehouse for a month. Due to the unaudited account, my products cannot be sold. What should I do? I am very anxious and want to know the solution.
