Amazon Suspension? What If It’s Amazon’s Fault? How One Seller Recovered in 48 Hours

A Critical Countdown

Facing a potential business-ending crisis, an Amazon seller contacted us, racing against time. Amazon had flagged a key toy listing for a policy violation, initiating a supply chain and video verification process with a strict three-day deadline for a verification call. Missing this call meant immediate suspension.

Despite being a compliant seller with proper documentation, lawful purchases, and receipts, the pressure was immense. With Amazon, good intentions aren’t always enough. Many sellers in this situation worry because there is no room for errors or time to correct mistakes.

Strategic Support Under Pressure

Our team meticulously reviewed his purchase documentation, ensured all records were audit-ready, and provided strategic preparation for the critical verification call not just technical guidance.

He completed the call confidently, ensuring all requirements were met and submissions were on time.

And then — the unexpected happened.

The Glitch

Despite successfully completing the verification call, Amazon suspended his account. The platform claimed the call hadn’t been finished on time, directly contradicting reality. We quickly recognized this wasn’t a seller error but a platform-side glitch.

For the seller, it felt like being penalized for playing by the rules. For us, it was a challenge we were equipped to handle because we know the difference between a seller mistake and an Amazon mistake. This understanding saves sellers valuable time, money, and unnecessary stress from trying to fix something that isn’t their fault.

From Escalation to Resolution

Understanding the issue stemmed from an Amazon error, we compiled a detailed escalation package within an hour. This package included a verified call timeline, screenshots, document submissions, and a clear narrative explaining what went wrong and why the seller wasn’t to blame.

We bypassed standard channels and submitted the case directly to Amazon’s internal review team for rapid processing.

Within 48 hours, the investigation concluded in our client’s favor.

The suspension was lifted, the violation was removed, and he was back in business.

The Human Side

This experience highlights the value of partnership. The client later shared his perspective:

The eGrowth team is professional, knowledgeable, gives you tremendous peace of mind. I never felt like I was facing the ‘AZ beast’ alone. They set expectations appropriately and then exceeded them.

This feedback underscores our goal: to provide reinstatement and build confidence and clarity during stressful situations.
