Amazon puts the user security above all, so if it detects any suspicious activity on an account, it will lock that account immediately. <\/span><\/i>Whether you are a customer or a seller, having your<\/span><\/i> Amazon account locked<\/i><\/b> may be a real pain.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

If you are looking for a way to unlock your Amazon account, we can help you. This article will explain why your Amazon account has been locked and how to troubleshoot it.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Reasons Why Your Amazon Account Got Locked<\/b><\/h2>\n

When you are trying to sign in to your Amazon account and you encounter the <\/span>Your account has been locked for security purposes<\/i><\/b> error. That means Amazon may have locked your account due to several reasons, including:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Providing incomplete or fake information to Amazon<\/b><\/h3>\n

Entering incorrect or incomplete account information is one of the most common reasons why Amazon gets user accounts locked.<\/span><\/p>\n

You must supply all relevant documents while registering as an Amazon vendor. Amazon checks your profile and verifies the legitimacy of the information you give after you finish submitting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Providing

Providing incomplete or fake information is the most common reason for your Amazon account locked issue<\/p><\/div>\n

If Amazon discovers a mismatch in your account information, it will <\/span>halt your operation<\/b>. You won’t be able to sell anything on Amazon during this time and may receive the following message notifying you of its decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

The platform has various ways to verify if you submitted <\/span>a fraudulent name<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>delivery address<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>billing address<\/span><\/i>, or other relevant information.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, <\/i><\/b>you provide fake billing details or use someone else\u2019s credit card when creating a new account.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Amazon will check if the billing address registered with your card provider matches the default address on your Amazon account. If you fail this credit card verification, you may have your Amazon account locked very soon.<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

2. Unusual high number of items are being ordered<\/b><\/h3>\n

An uncommonly large amount of daily orders \u2013 <\/span>particularly on new accounts<\/i><\/b> \u2013 can trigger Amazon to lock your account. Amazon uses an anti-fraud system to detect that unusual activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can avoid triggering this protection action of Amazon by limiting your order volume to <\/span>30 orders a day<\/b> for the first few weeks after activating your account. Or, you can maintain your daily orders under <\/span>$250\/day<\/b> by using different Amazon accounts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. High volume of returns<\/b><\/h3>\n

According to the <\/span>\u201cConsumer Returns In the Retail Industry\u201d <\/b>report from <\/span>Appriss<\/span><\/a>, US retailers, in 2018, lost a stunning <\/span>$369 billion<\/b> in sales due to returns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, many US businesses, including Amazon, have invested in systems to detect unproductive users and monitor the average returns of products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Returns are normally free of charge for buyers, but Amazon has to pay for the shipping cost. To be clear, Amazon will handle shipping and restocking whenever you return an item. That costs it a lot of money \u2013 especially for a business selling things at a very low-profit margin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"High

High volume of returns is one of the reasons why your Amazon account got locked<\/p><\/div>\n

Thus, whether you are a buyer or a seller, pay attention to your return rates. Otherwise, you may get your Amazon account locked, <\/span>if your high volume of returns is high.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Suspicious gift card activity<\/b><\/p>\n

Gift cards are one of the most effective ways for businesses to attract customers. Amazon, on the other hand, keeps a strict eye on them and tries to police them firmly because they can be a target for money launderers.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two situations where Amazon locks an account when dealing with gift cards:<\/span><\/p>\n
