If you have been selling your items on Amazon and making a notable income, it is important to maintain the same level and avoid bad practices that can lead to suspension.

You will be doing everything necessary to remain a fair and good Amazon user. Then the worst case scenario sets in – after you get your listings right and you make some sales, you wake up one day to find your Amazon account suspended.

You should not worry, as this happens to many more other sellers on Amazon than you can ever imagine. Below are some of the most common reasons why sellers get suspended on Amazon:

1. Not being familiar with all their selling guidelines
   If you want to avoid being suspended on Amazon, you should ensure that you familiarize yourself with the selling guidelines stipulated by Amazon. It is a boring and tedious process, but it could save you from an unwarranted suspension. Amazon can easily suspend you for violating just one of their rules and you should not risk selling on Amazon without familiarizing yourself with all their rules.
2. Negative Feedback
   Negative feedback can be a sure and direct way of having your Amazon account suspended. If your account receives a lot of negative feedback, the best way to deal with it could be abandoning it altogether and looking to start fresh. This suspension is usually not automatic, as it has to be given an extra push by a complaint from a disgruntled buyer. If your account is worth keeping, you could try looking at buying some low priced items in order to improve your low feedback score. This would help you avoid an imminent suspension on Amazon.
3. Non-Performing Sellers (Poor Performance) 
   Non-performing sellers also get suspended from Amazon. These are the sellers who misrepresent the items they place on sale. This is mostly by not meeting the item description and terms made in the listing, or maybe failing to deliver the item to the customer after having received the payment. This is treated as a serious breach of the Amazon policies and is even considered as fraud besides getting suspended from Amazon.
4. Selling Prohibited and Restricted Items
   As an Amazon user, it is your duty to ensure that all the items you sell on Amazon are not illegal goods. This will depend on the jurisdictions applicable and the permissions allowed by Amazon. You only need to commit one offence to suspended. However, you can sometimes get a suspension that lasts for three days, but this offence makes up for the most number of users on Amazon who have been permanently suspended.

Conclusion
Any serious violations by the sellers of Amazon policies and rules or repeated violations of these rules can result in having their Amazon accounts suspended. This suspension is not usually indefinite and Amazon can opt to reinstate their accounts at any time. However, it is important to note that Amazon usually has the right to decide when a user’s account can be banned from Amazon.
