Amazon FBA Suspension Attorney – Protect Your FBA Seller Account
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is a powerful tool for scaling your e-commerce business, but FBA sellers face unique legal challenges including account suspensions, inventory reimbursement disputes, stranded inventory issues, and FBA policy violations. Our specialized Amazon FBA attorneys provide immediate legal protection to reinstate suspended FBA accounts and recover lost inventory compensation.
What is Amazon Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)?
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is Amazon's comprehensive logistics and fulfillment service that revolutionizes how third-party sellers operate their e-commerce businesses. With FBA, Amazon sellers send their inventory to Amazon fulfillment centers, where Amazon handles all warehousing, inventory management, order picking, packing, shipping, customer service, and returns processing.
FBA gives sellers access to Amazon Prime's 200+ million members, increased Buy Box eligibility, multi-channel fulfillment capabilities, and Amazon's world-class shipping infrastructure. Products fulfilled by Amazon automatically qualify for Prime free two-day shipping, dramatically increasing conversion rates and sales velocity.
However, FBA sellers face unique legal challenges: account suspensions due to inventory performance, lost or damaged inventory disputes, FBA fee errors, stranded inventory problems, restricted product violations, and IP complaints. AMZ Attorney specializes in resolving these complex FBA legal issues.
Common Legal Issues Amazon FBA Sellers Face
FBA sellers encounter specific challenges that require specialized legal expertise and immediate action to protect revenue and account standing
FBA Account Suspensions
FBA accounts can be suspended for Inventory Performance Index (IPI) violations, excessive removal order rates, inbound shipment problems, unfulfillable inventory issues, or repeated FBA policy violations affecting your seller performance metrics.
Lost or Damaged FBA Inventory
Amazon fulfillment centers can lose, damage, or dispose of your inventory incorrectly. Sellers lose thousands monthly from unreimbursed lost inventory, warehouse damage, customer return discrepancies, and disposal errors requiring legal action to recover.
Restricted Product Violations
Selling restricted, gated, or improperly labeled products through FBA can result in immediate ASIN suppression, inventory holds at fulfillment centers, disposal fees, and FBA seller account suspension for violating Amazon's FBA Product Restrictions.
Intellectual Property Complaints
False IP complaints from competitors or brands can immediately suspend your FBA listings, strand inventory in warehouses, and deactivate your entire FBA seller account. Quick legal response is critical to remove false trademark, copyright, or patent infringement claims.
Price Gouging Allegations
Amazon monitors FBA pricing and can suspend accounts for alleged price gouging during high-demand periods, violating Fair Pricing Policy. Even legitimate price increases can trigger automated suspensions requiring immediate legal appeals to restore selling privileges.
Stranded Inventory Issues
Stranded inventory in Amazon fulfillment centers accrues monthly storage fees while generating zero revenue. Listings become stranded due to listing errors, restricted ASINs, or suppressed offers, requiring expert legal intervention to resolve and restore sales.

Steps to Take If Your Amazon FBA Account Is Suspended
Follow this strategic action plan to maximize your chances of successful FBA account reinstatement
Review Your FBA Suspension Notice Carefully
Carefully read the Performance Notification email from Amazon Seller Performance to understand the exact reason for your FBA account suspension. Look for specific policy violations such as:
- Inventory Performance Index (IPI) below required threshold
- FBA customer service performance metrics violations
- Restricted product policy violations or product authenticity complaints
- Excessive removal order rates or unfulfillable inventory
- Inbound shipment problems or dangerous goods violations
- Fair Pricing Policy violations or price gouging allegations
Gather All FBA Documentation & Evidence
Compile comprehensive documentation that supports your appeal case and demonstrates compliance with FBA policies:
- FBA Inventory Reports showing inventory levels and performance
- Supplier invoices, purchase orders, and authenticity certificates
- Inbound shipment tracking numbers and delivery confirmations
- Product preparation and labeling documentation
- FBA Inventory Ledger reports showing discrepancies
- Previous correspondence with Amazon Seller Support
- Account Health Dashboard screenshots and performance metrics
- Evidence of corrective actions already implemented
Analyze Root Causes & Identify Violations
Conduct a thorough analysis to identify the root causes of your FBA suspension. Amazon requires sellers to demonstrate complete understanding of policy violations, not just surface-level explanations. Examine your FBA operations, inventory management processes, supplier relationships, product preparation procedures, and fulfillment center performance to identify specific failures that led to the suspension. A strong root cause analysis is essential for a successful Plan of Action.
