Recently, Amazon completely reformed their approach to appealing most Seller Account suspensions, in a clear attempt to try and keep as many marketplace sellers as possible, since the competition is growing and they don’t want to risk losing their selection of products.
Instead of getting locked out of their accounts or having to prepare a detailed Plan of Action, sellers are asked to take a short online quiz, which is easy enough to be passed by a 6 years old kid.
Finally, sellers won’t need to spend thousands of dollars on hiring various Amazon experts.
Here is the text of the Policy Warning Notice, which the affected seller received – this was then followed by a pre-suspension phone call and a request to appeal the violation by 72 hours, otherwise their Seller Account will get deactivated:

I hope you found this article helpful.
