Amazon's Multiple and Related Accounts Policy is critical for sellers to understand to avoid suspensions. Violating this policy can freeze your account, halting your business. This guide covers the policy, suspension triggers, and how to appeal. Importantly, you cannot open another Amazon FBA account if banned. Amazon Attorney provides expert suspension appeals and account recovery services to reinstate your account.
What is Amazon's Related Accounts Policy?
Amazon's policy prevents sellers from using multiple accounts to bypass rules. While you can open a second account without prior approval, Amazon monitors for related accounts. Attempting to open a new account linked to a suspended one risks suspension of all accounts.
Key Policy Highlights
- •No Approval Needed: Second accounts are allowed but must comply with Amazon's rules.
- •Monitoring Triggers: Changes in Seller Central, like shared data, may prompt a review.
- •Suspension Risks: Opening a new FBA account after a ban is prohibited, leading to further penalties.
What Triggers a Related Account Suspension?
Amazon uses advanced systems to detect related accounts. Common triggers include:
- •Bypassing a Ban: Attempting to open a new account after a suspension is detected and penalized.
- •Shared Data: Similar IP addresses, business names, or addresses link accounts, triggering suspensions.
- •Verification Issues: Discrepancies during account verification can lead to suspensions.
How to Appeal a Related Account Suspension

Can You Open Another FBA Account if Banned?
