How many situations are there in which Amazon stores are associated? How to prevent association?

When operating a store on the Amazon platform, sellers need to pay special attention to the issue of store association. There are four main types of Amazon store associations, including strong associations, weak associations, suspected associations, and false associations. It is crucial for sellers to understand these situations and how to effectively prevent associations.

Once Amazon finds that it has been associated, there are mainly the following situations:

1. Multiple people using the same IP at the same time: Amazon stipulates that a seller can only have one store. It mainly determines whether multiple accounts belong to the same seller based on matching association factors. If Amazon determines that multiple accounts are operated by the same seller, account association is created.
2. One person owns multiple stores at the same time: For example, if you use one device to switch store accounts back and forth, it is easy to be considered as related, so we usually use fingerprint browsers with proxy IPs for isolation.
3. Multiple of the stores are too closely connected between family members and are likely to be related.

If there is a connection problem, the platform will send you a file, and the content of the file will generally be: Account connection – You have used more than one account.

According to experience, the success rate of the first appeal is quite high. If you think the platform has made a wrong judgment, try to appeal.

Please refer to the following for specific complaints:

According to the requirements of the platform, some information must be collected in advance, including business license, bank statement, company registration certificate, tax documents, etc., relevant documents and evidence, in order to prove that the store has no substantial connection with other accounts.

Then log in to the platform, find the appeal entrance, submit it, write a paragraph to explain the reasons, and at the end promise that you will strictly abide by the regulations in the future.

It is best to use your passport as your identity information; the success rate of appeals using other information is not high.

It is recommended to send the English version of the statement, or both the Chinese and English versions, and ask the bank to reissue it. If there is no address or phone information, go and apply for a cardholder certificate.

You can call or contact customer service online. The telephone customer service will send an authorization message, agree to it, and then wait.

If there is still no news after two days, call again (calls should be communicated in English)!

For those of us who do cross-border e-commerce, what we fear most is having our store closed accidentally. So once a problem is discovered, especially with account associations, it is easy to end up with nothing. So we have to solve and prevent problems from the root.

To prevent association we must know:

1. Be sure to use a reliable proxy IP, match it with an independent computer device or fingerprint browser, preferably a dedicated IP, to directly reduce the risk of being associated or blocked due to the same network IP address.

As for agents, I can recommend Kookeey, which I use. Initially, it was because they focused on exclusive IP, so I tried it and used it for a while. It is indeed quite stable, so you can give it a try.

• In addition to IP and device, account information must also be independent, such as email, password, mobile phone number, etc.
• Different stores should sell differentiated products, and the content in titles, detailed descriptions, pictures, etc. should not be too similar.
