Frequently Asked Questions
Amazon’s internal enforcement systems can be difficult to navigate.
These are some of the most common questions Amazon sellers ask about account suspensions, appeals, and intellectual property complaints.
Each answer is based on CJ Rosenbaum’s direct work with sellers and written in the same clear, factual style used throughout this site.
Suspensions occur when Amazon detects policy violations, authenticity concerns, or intellectual property complaints. Sellers are encouraged to review Amazon’s notifications carefully to identify the reason before submitting a response.
Sellers should draft a concise Plan of Action that includes a root-cause explanation, corrective steps, and proof of compliance. Supporting invoices or supplier documentation may also be required.
An IP complaint is submitted by a rights owner who believes their trademark, copyright, or patent was used improperly. Understanding the type of claim helps determine whether to contact the rights owner, provide proof of authenticity, or submit an appeal through Amazon.
Processing time varies depending on the issue. Some cases are resolved within a few days; others may take several weeks, especially if escalations are involved.
Yes. A second submission should provide new documentation or clarify issues Amazon flagged as “insufficient.”
Rosenbaum & Segall, P.C. regularly handles denied appeals by re-analyzing the seller’s data and preparing a stronger escalation.
An intellectual property (IP) complaint is a claim by a rights owner that your listing infringes on their trademark, copyright, or patent.
Even when products are authentic, sellers may receive false or mistaken claims.
