    Over the years, we have helped more than 500 Amazon sellers recover their suspended accounts and ASINs. Each case teaches us something new, and each success reinforces our approach.

    Here are some of our most notable success stories that demonstrate our expertise and the results we deliver for our clients.

    Case Study 1: Electronics Seller - Account Reinstated in 72 Hours

    The Problem

    A UK-based electronics seller with over €2 million in annual revenue received an account suspension for "inauthentic products" after a competitor filed multiple false claims.

    The Challenge

    The seller had already submitted two appeals on their own, both rejected. They were losing €5,000+ daily in sales and had significant inventory stranded in FBA warehouses.

    Our Approach

    • Analyzed rejection reasons from both previous appeals
    • Identified critical documentation gaps in their submissions
    • Obtained detailed invoices with serial number tracking from suppliers
    • Crafted a comprehensive POA addressing Amazon's specific concerns
    • Included evidence demonstrating the claims originated from a competitor

    Result

    Full account reinstatement within 72 hours. The seller recovered over €150,000 in held funds and resumed sales immediately.

    Case Study 2: Fashion Seller - Multiple IP Claims Resolved

    The Problem

    A fashion reseller faced 15 intellectual property complaints from various brands over a 3-month period, resulting in 23 suspended ASINs and their account flagged as at risk.

    The Challenge

    Multiple rights owners were involved, each requiring different approaches. The seller's account was in critical status with imminent suspension risk.

    Our Approach

    • Prioritized cases by revenue impact and ease of resolution
    • Contacted each rights owner professionally to request retractions
    • Provided proof of authentic sourcing to brand representatives
    • Created individual appeals for remaining unresolved claims
    • Implemented supplier verification system to prevent future issues

    Result

    12 complaints retracted directly by rights owners. Remaining 11 ASINs reinstated through appeals. Account health restored to good standing within 3 weeks.

    Case Study 3: Health & Beauty - KYC Verification Success

    The Problem

    A health and beauty seller's account was suspended pending KYC verification. Despite submitting documents three times, they kept getting rejected without clear explanations.

    The Challenge

    The seller was based outside the EU, making document verification more complex. Their business structure required additional documentation that Amazon did not clearly specify.

    Our Approach

    • Reviewed all previously submitted documents for quality and completeness
    • Identified specific issues with document quality and formatting
    • Guided the seller through obtaining properly formatted documents
    • Prepared a comprehensive document package addressing all requirements
    • Coordinated video verification call preparation

    Result

    KYC verification approved on the next submission. Account fully restored with no limitations or ongoing monitoring requirements.

    Case Study 4: Supplement Seller - Safety Claim Defense

    The Problem

    A supplement seller's top-selling ASIN, representing 60% of their total revenue, was suspended due to a safety complaint filed by a customer.

    The Challenge

    Safety-related suspensions require extensive documentation including lab tests, certifications, and compliance records. The seller had some documentation but gaps in their compliance file.

    Our Approach

    • Gathered all existing compliance documentation
    • Commissioned third-party lab testing for independent product verification
    • Obtained updated certificates of analysis from the manufacturer
    • Documented manufacturing and quality control processes
    • Created detailed POA addressing safety concerns specifically

    Result

    ASIN reinstated after 10 days. The seller also implemented improved quality documentation processes for all products, preventing future issues.

    Case Study 5: Multi-Channel Seller - Related Account Issue

    The Problem

    A seller's new account was suspended immediately after creation for being "related to a previously suspended account"—but they had never had an Amazon account before.

    The Challenge

    Related account suspensions are notoriously difficult to resolve. Amazon's systems had linked them to a completely different person with no actual connection.

    Our Approach

    • Investigated all potential connection points (shared IP, address, payment methods)
    • Discovered a previous tenant at their business address had a suspended account
    • Compiled comprehensive evidence proving they were a separate, legitimate business
    • Provided identity verification documentation for all principals
    • Drafted detailed appeal explaining the misidentification

    Result

    Account reinstated with clean standing. No relationship flag remaining on the account, allowing the seller to build their business without ongoing scrutiny.
