💬 Get Free Case AssessmentWhat Is an Amazon Section 3 Suspension?
Section 3 of Amazon's Business Solutions Agreement (BSA) gives Amazon the right to terminate seller accounts for violations including fraud, manipulation, and operating multiple accounts without authorisation. A Section 3 citation in your suspension notice indicates Amazon has identified behaviour they consider a serious breach of their seller agreement.
Common Section 3 suspension triggers include:
- Related account violations — Amazon has linked your account to a previously suspended account
- Review manipulation — soliciting, purchasing, or artificially incentivising customer reviews
- Search manipulation — using external traffic, bots, or keyword stuffing to artificially influence ranking
- Seller identity violations — creating multiple seller accounts without prior authorisation
- Fraudulent activity — A-to-Z claim abuse, refund fraud, or misrepresentation
How We Handle Your Case — Step by Step
A structured appeal built on documentation, not guesswork. Every step is completed by our specialists on your behalf.
Allegation Identification
We identify the precise Section 3 trigger from your suspension notice — related account, manipulation, identity issue, or fraud allegation — because the approach and documentation differ entirely by type.
Evidence & Timeline Construction
We work with you to build a complete factual timeline and gather evidence that directly addresses Amazon's specific allegation, whether that's disproving a related account link or demonstrating that reviews were obtained legitimately.
You Grant Secure Secondary Access
Amazon requires that ONLY SPN & SPP certified partners can request Seller Central access. You add Go.Reinstate as a secondary user through Amazon\'s official User Permissions system. Restricted access only. Revocable by you at any time. Any non-certified provider asking for this access is violating Amazon policy.
Targeted Appeal Writing
We craft an appeal that addresses Amazon's Section 3 allegation precisely — not a generic Plan of Action, but a specific, evidence-backed response to the exact violation cited.
Escalation & Internal Review
Section 3 cases often require escalation beyond standard appeal channels. We use our knowledge of Amazon's internal review structure to route your case to the appropriate team for a fair outcome.
The Section 3 Cases We Handle
Related Account Suspensions
Amazon has linked your account to a previously suspended seller account — often based on shared IP addresses, devices, bank accounts, or personal information. This is one of the most common Section 3 triggers.
Our approach: We build a detailed explanation of any legitimate connection between the accounts and demonstrate clearly that the previous suspension does not reflect on your current selling practices.
Manipulation Allegations
Amazon alleges you manipulated reviews, feedback, search rankings, or Best Seller badges. These are serious allegations that Amazon treats as fundamental integrity violations.
Our approach: We analyse the specific manipulation allegation and prepare a targeted response with evidence of legitimate practices, and where appropriate, a strong corrective action plan.
Why We Need Secondary Access — Amazon's Official Requirement
As an Amazon SPN & SPP certified agency, Go.Reinstate is one of the very few service providers officially authorised by Amazon to access Seller Central on your behalf. Amazon's own policy states that only SPN-certified partners are permitted to request secondary user access to a seller's account. Any non-certified service provider asking for your Seller Central access is violating Amazon's terms and putting your account at serious risk. When you grant access to Go.Reinstate, you are following Amazon's own recommended process — through the official User Permissions system, restricted access only, revocable by you at any time.
