Hello,
Your Amazon seller account has been deactivated and your listings have been removed from the UK and all EU marketplaces. Please continue to ship open orders and respond to customer inquiries to avoid further impact to your account.
Why did this happen?
We have taken this measure because we became aware of activity on your account that is not in compliance with our policies. We require that sellers act fairly and honestly on Amazon to ensure a safe buying and selling experience. All sellers must provide accurate information to Amazon and our customers at all times. To learn more about our Seller Code of Conduct, go to: https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G1801
Remember: it’s the responsibility of each Amazon seller to ensure they are compliant with all applicable laws and you should seek professional advice if you are unsure of your obligations.
How do I reactivate my account?
To reactivate your account, submit the following information:
Confirmation of the country of establishment of your business - this is the country in which your legal entity is incorporated or you are resident if you are a private individual;
An explanation of why the country of your Merchant Business Address does not, or has not, reflected your country of establishment, https://sellercentral.amazon.de/sw/SSR/BusinessKYCInfo/spaDashboard/;
Any documentary evidence supporting the above explanation.
Submit this information by clicking “Reactivate your account” on the banner at the top of your “Account Health” page and following the instructions provided: https://sellercentral-europe.amazon.com /performance/dashboard
Hello
I received an e-mail from Amazon like this and my account was suspended.
Unfortunately, all my other markets were also suspended.
What exactly is the reason?
Hello!
Let me transfer your thread to UK Account Health Category for better assistance.

Hello,
Do you ship via FBA in PAN-EU? If so, do you have all 7 VAT numbers?
In which country is your company registered?
Other sellers have experienced the same problem :
Are you resident in the UK? If not, did you hold stock in the UK? Just wondering, with all the issues overseas sellers appear to be having with VAT, were you VAT registered?
Hello, why has my account been deactivated.
I am yet to sell anything on Amazon, I am unsure to how any compliance has been broken?
Kind regards
Hi,
I am facing the same issue. This is happening because of VAT issues. My company is based in UK and I am personally based in Germany. I believe mistakenly my listing offers has been turned on to sell in EU marketplaces. In this case, I need to register for VAT. Unfortunately I can’t check or undo now as account is deactivated. I only sell in UK and I don’t have to register for VAT until I touched 85k pounds threshold.
Hello @ASL_SHOP_LTD,
I am Mary here to assist you.
I understand you require assistance with reactivation of your selling account.
From the post above, team is clearly stating that you haven’t provided the requested information, the reason for which your account has been deactivated. In order to reactivate your account you need to submit the requested documents and accurate information mentioned in the above performance notification.
All Sellers on Amazon Stores are required to meet the compliance requirements stipulated by the law. VAT registration requirements vary from region to region in Europe, and you need to submit a valid VAT number in a timely manner on the Stores where the VAT obligation is generated, and make sure that the VAT number you submitted complies with the business registration name on the Seller Central. At the same time, please keep in mind your account number and password (if applicable) registered on the HMRC website to ensure that you can manage it yourself and view relevant tax materials timely.
The following information will help you to learn more about legal entity:
Individual: You must only choose this legal entity if you do not sell for profit. Individual sellers may list unwanted personal items, such as old DVDs or books.

Publicly-listed: A business with shares listed on a stock exchange for public trading.

I really don’t know, but can you not just let it go dormant as long as long as all are set to inactive.
I guess there may be more to it than that though ?
