Starting an Amazon business is an exciting opportunity, but the process of setting up a new Amazon Seller Central account is far more complex than it may first appear. Many new sellers underestimate the importance of a well-informed, strategic approach—leading to costly mistakes, account suspensions, and missed opportunities for growth.
Why Expertise Matters from Day One
Amazon’s marketplace is governed by strict policies and constantly evolving regulations. Sellers must provide accurate business information, comply with product listing standards, and adhere to the Seller Code of Conduct at all times. Even a minor oversight—like listing a restricted product, misclassifying your items, or failing to meet performance metrics—can trigger account suspension, putting your entire business at risk.
Common Pitfalls That Lead to Account Suspension:
- Incomplete or inaccurate business information
- Selling restricted or counterfeit products
- Poor seller performance (late shipments, high cancellation rates)
- Violating marketplace policies or local regulations
- Operating multiple accounts without approval
Did you know!
Did you know that even a single policy violation or performance slip can put your Amazon Seller Central account at risk of suspension? Amazon enforces strict compliance, and common mistakes—like listing restricted products or providing inaccurate business information—can quickly lead to account deactivation. In fact, Amazon’s Account Health Rating (AHR) system flags accounts that fall below a certain threshold (AHR below 200), putting them officially “at risk of deactivation,” which can happen in as little as 7 to 30 days if issues aren’t resolved. That’s why it’s critical to follow Amazon’s policies and set up your account correctly from the very beginning.
