Hello, I hope someone can help me with my suspension. My US account has been opened in late August 2019 and deactivated in October 2019 because I didn't not have invoices for items I sent to FBA. I was hoping that someone can help 1) with POA; 2) advising when/how to escalate this matter. Any help is very much appreciated.

Amazon may withhold payments if we determine that your account was used to sell inauthentic or prohibited goods, commit fraud or engage in other illegal or abusive activity. You can see your balance and settlement information in the Payments section of Seller Central. If you have questions about those, please write to payments-funds@amazon.com. Sincerely, Seller Performance Team amazon.com I've removed all my inventory from seller central and replied with following POA (modified Kika's template): Dear Amazon Seller Performance Team, This is revised plan of action in regards of Seller Account suspension due to authenticity concerns. I understand that I have come in violation of Amazon policies. This happened as result of personal inexperience in selling on Amazon and not ensuring proper way of sourcing. ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: - I realized that I don’t have invoices for items that have been send to fulfillment center to prove authenticity of products.- I failed to get an authorization and seller rights from the brands. - I failed to source merchandise for sale on Amazon from reputable suppliers who would provide me with valid and acceptable invoices. IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: - All listings were permanently deleted from my Seller Account inventory, including all items which were in violation of Amazon policies.- I have decided to stop sourcing from unauthorized sources since their invoices weren’t valid.- I have read Amazon Anti-Counterfeiting Policies and Agreements to make sure that my store stays compliant. CORRECTIVE CHANGES TO BUSINESS TO PREVENT FUTURE ISSUES: - I will only list items that are purchased either directly from the manufacturer or distributors that are authorized me to sell their products. - I will retain all the valid invoices for each item listed in my inventory. - I will verify that the products or listings don’t violate anyone’s intellectual property, trademark, copyright or patent. - I will not list against any products that do not precisely match the details page. - I will regularly read and re-read the Amazon guidelines and policies to ensure that I do not violate them again. - I will monitor all changes of the policies or any applicable laws, which could affect mine account and react proactively. I believe that this Plan of Action and the actions I have taken in my Seller Account are sufficiently addressing the issue.In addition, I’m very determined to continue selling on Amazon and hopeful that I could be forgiven on this occasion. Sincerely,
