• Denied account: This notice is sent when Amazon does not accept your appeal. However, you can continue to fix the errors again.

What to do when your Amazon account is locked?

So after the account is “disciplined,” what can you do? Looking to appeal to reopen an account or create a new one?

Find a way to unlock the account

As outlined above, you can file an appeal with Amazon when your account is locked. First, review Amazon’s policies and contrast the reasons for account inactivity. You must then prepare a plan of action (POA) to send Amazon to reconsider their decision.

Specifically, the document should contain the following:

• Write a brief introduction stating the problem: what causes an Amazon account to be locked.
• Show action to help solve the problem.
• What measures can be taken to avoid a similar situation from happening?

Create a new account

Due to business disruptions or the inability to appeal, many people choose to create a new Amazon account quickly. That means you have to start all over again:

• Use a new name that does not match the old account
• Use new papers that have nothing to do with old data
• Do not use old bank accounts
• Completely new registered phone number and email

So it can be seen that they are not easy to do. If you use the network and browser that created an old account to sign up for a new account, Amazon will also quickly notice you.

Tips to avoid being locked out of your Amazon account

“Prevention is better than cure.” So it would be best if you tried to be careful with your account first rather than dealing with it when it is locked.

• All you need to do is follow Amazon’s policies and take great care of your customers.
• Using anti-browser software to log into your Amazon account. Hidemium allows it to create multiple accounts and log in simultaneously without being detected. By the browser fingerprint change mechanism. At the same time, this is also an effective way to create an Amazon account after being banned.
