Why This Happens
Amazon suspends sellers when buyer complaints indicate items listed as 'New' arrived in used, damaged, or opened condition. This is the single most common complaint on seller forums and Reddit. Triggers include packaging damage during shipping, sourcing from unauthorized retailers (Walmart, Target receipts instead of distributor invoices), or quality control failures. Amazon's AI enforcement has intensified — even a small number of complaints can trigger suspension.
