How to Beat Amazon Section 3 Deactivation (Amazon Jail)

[@user-le4uv7cc6k]

So happy to hear you got reinstated!

[@realmikeshear]

Thank you so much Jan for all your help in this. I appreciate that you gave me the hope to keep pushing and getting this thing back up and running.

[@Nateasare1]

Man i just got hit with this same bogous claim yesterday. Your video has encouraged me a lot. Many people out there saying you can never get out of it if it involves nike. Your words are different and i will take it as an encouragement. How do i get to connect with you to help me

[@realmikeshear]

@Nateasare1 instagram is a good way to connect with me. Same name as this channel. I cannot gaurentee that you will get back in but I have not met a person that didn't beat this assuming they were honest with their purchases and kept record of all the receipts they have for purchases.

[@vitomorris]

Thank you for this video! I followed it to the T , great explanation!

[@realmikeshear]

I hope it works for you. I just had one person give a praise report that they are back online after 32 days. So it is working!!!!!!

My son give one of the listings bad review and it was the first time giving a listing review without purchase , and because of it Amazon deactivated my account.

[@realmikeshear]

@@Life_Needs13 I have never heard of that one yet. We gotta be careful with our business accounts and making sure that only we can access it.

[@Life_Needs13]

@@realmikeshear Yes Sir , but is it fixable ? I appealed twise information for Amazon but they emailed me that they do not have enough inf to reactive my account. Can you Help me to make my account reactive ! I will pay for it

[@Life_Needs13]

@@realmikeshear They deactivate my account under section 3 , So how can we fix it!

[@realmikeshear]

@Life_Needs13 That makes sense. Yes, I have heard of people getting banned/blocked for related accounts. Almost impossible to get away from it. What you may need to do is call in to seller health support. Speak with that person and see what the process is to appeal for reactivation. There may be an interview or appeal letter that you have to create.

Mannn - I am just going through it right now and this is the FIRST video (shared to me by another twitter person who’s going through it) that has given me hope. Any discords you recommend I can join?

[@realmikeshear]

FBA road map or launch AMZ. Both are phenomenal. I am glad that you have Hope. You will get through this as long as you are legit and have your paperwork IN ORDER. I am happy to help in anyway possible. This was the longest 3 weeks I have had in business.

[@irvinhunt5097]

Hi Michael, got deactivated yesterday. Strange thing is I have nothing from Amz saying what the problem is. Should I be looking out for an email like you showed have asins etc? Loved your video. It was on time

[@realmikeshear]

They wont say what the problem is, but they will say which ASIN's that they want you to confirm. It should be in the email in the middle or near the bottom of which EXACT items that they want you to confirm.

[@irvinhunt5097]

Thanks Michael, i just got the email with ASIN that says I listed a unsuitable item. They want about 9 things but the 2 I have concern with is they want authorization from Brand name (Centrum) saying they give me permission also a document from my Wholesaler stating they have permission to sell Centrum vitamins. I contact vender and they say they will not help. Only their invoice is real they dont state if product is real. I had it shipped from wholesaler directly to FBA so I never saw product.. Do I have a chance with this in your opinion? I am only a few months in and may lose apx 4k. I don't weather to do what you do with persistence or just give up. Thanks for being here for us and being willing to help anyway you can.@@realmikeshear

[@realmikeshear]

As far as I know unless Centrum is the ONLY seller on the listing then (Private Label) you should be good with just the invoices from your purchase. If you bought them bulk from a wholesaler then it should be even easier to get a invoice from them and then match it up with your credit card statement.

[@realmikeshear]

I highly recommended repeatedly calling seller health support and asking them EXACTLY what you need and they will guide you to the specifics.

[@MIFAMILIASPANGLISH]

Hello!!! I received one for a product i got at Ross. I have all my tickets and pictures of the product with the barcode where the ítem number is shown. Do you think it can work ??? Thanks for the video by the way, it’s very helpful 😊✌️

[@realmikeshear]

Yes, it will work. Important thing is that the pictures align with the receipt. (Receipt in the picture with the barcodes).

[@ThatcherYoung-dq8lf]

Hey Mike, going through this right now;( I'm in the exact same situation you were in I've been deactivated for 11 days and keep getting denied. I followed your video step by step and they put a flag on my account because of the receipts so I'm getting denied. I've called over 20 times in 11 days and have tried to get internal request no luck. any tips?

[@realmikeshear]

Have you tried calling up the customer support at the place you made the purchase and getting new invoices and making sure they have your name, address, and card number from the purchase? Sometimes new receipts will help force a full new look. Maybe making sure everything is saved as PDF. Calling in customer health was the best for me. They can put a ticket in to have the back office team do a REAL PERSON review.

[@user-ft2qr2sh4k]

Did you include an appeal letter with a plan pf action ?

[@realmikeshear]

I did not. The only thing that I did with a written letter was show how each receipt was connected with each credit card. I wrote out the dates, card numbers, dollar amount for each ASIN that they requested. My understanding is that I didn't need an appeal letter since I did not have an actual "claim" against me, it was purely a shakedown from Amazon because their computers flagged me for something.

[@shovonchowdhury834]

I was able to show receipts for 38/48 products mentioned. I dont have receipt for the other 10, any advice?

[@realmikeshear]

Do you have credit card statements showing the stores that you went to? If so I would recommend going to those stores for the remaining 10 and asking for the receipts for that day, that time, with your specific credit card.

[@vanessacastro5036]

I got Deactivated due to section 3 also. I need help at this point! I have receipts bank statements everything the only thing is the receipts show the item description as "Gourmet Food" instead of "Honey Stingers" & "Belmont peanuts" what can I do?!

[@realmikeshear]

@vanessacastro5036 as long as the UPC code on the receipt is thr same as the label on the item you will be fine. I sometimes tell people to make sure to take pictures of the receipt (UPC code) next to the item itself because the sticker on the item will be the same number. This is for those shopping at Marshall's, ROSS, TJ MAXX

[@vanessacastro5036]

@@realmikeshear unfortunately I didn't take a picture of the UPC on the actual items these items are from Aug 2023 and are haunting me I need proof of purchase im trying everything I sent all documents including bank statements highlighted everything that indicated that specific day bought also the quantity like I said the only issue there having is the description on the receipt under "Gourmet Food" instead of the item /:

[@realmikeshear]

@vanessacastro5036 by chance can you go back into the store and find the same item to get a picture of the UPC? Contact support with that store and see if they can send you an email or pdf of the receipt/ invoice. This is the time to get a little creative

[@vanessacastro5036]

@@realmikeshear okay sounds great I will go to the store and see for that exact item so I can take a picture of the UPC thank you so much for the information very much appreciated!

[@vanessacastro5036]

going back to stores there no inventory I need in stock at all I talked to the store manager all data from 2023 has been deleted

[@kickcrew2025]

i just got this section 3 deactivation. I bought these Asins in store. Reps are saying that they don’t accept these. is that true? i keep getting denied.

[@realmikeshear]

Sort of true. They only say it when they cannot prove the SKU/UPC code numbers. If you bought something in store, check the online website and see if you can get a PDF version of your purchase. It is better in the way that you can show your name, address, credit card information. The in store will work though you may need to also send in credit card statements and pointing the rep directly to the purchase from the store. I had to use all those methods to prove that I was the owner of those items. Receipts + credit card statements + credit cards on file with my Amazon store

[@kyletrent5539]

I’m dealing with this now bro. The issue is that they haven’t given me an ASIN to provide any invoices for! The email said section 3 for seller code of conduct and anti-counterfeiting policy. They wanted an identity verification call. I did that a few days ago. It was like 30 minutes long and they asked for identity documents, business documents, bank statements and asked me to show a couple random invoices. I still have not heard anything back after the interview and they never asked for any specific ASIN. Not sure what else to do at this point!

[@kyletrent5539]

And my account health is 278 with no marks!

[@realmikeshear]

I have heard about people doing the interviews and not hearing back for multiple weeks. At the same time I have never heard one that was deactivated after a interview, even though it took a bunch of time

[@kyletrent5539]

@@realmikeshear man, this whole process is so frustrating, mainly because Amazon support is so incompetent. The process could be so simple if teams at Amazon actually talked to each other and provide accurate information. The emails they send to have no detail at all. Like today, I finally got an email back 3 days after I did my video verification and all it said was “thank you for completing video verification. We have not received the documents required to complete your identity and supply chain verification. Please submit the docs to this email.” WHAT DOCS? I have not received one email or notice of what docs I need to submit. They have never mentioned any ASIN at all that there was a violation on. At the end of the interview the lady said that was all I needed to do. How can someone submit documents that have never been requested, except for in the interview, which I provided then. They draw this out with complete incompetence like this when it could be solved in a few minutes if you could actually just call and speak to the people reviewing your account. It’s mind blowing to me that a billion dollar company is this incompetent.

no payment needed, unless you can get it fixed then all I ask is that I get a subscribe :D As far as the invoice for your item you will most likely need to make sure that you get your credit card statement for the time of purchase along with the receipt to show that you purchased the item from the place that you say you did. 1. Receipt 2. Credit Card Statement 3. Make sure Credit Card is on file with Amazon
