Root Cause Analysis
The hold exists to cover refunds, chargebacks and A-to-z claims on orders already placed. It is released when the review closes and the claim window passes, or earlier if the account is reinstated. Enforcement tied to authenticity or safety issues generally means the longest holds.
Required Documents
- Business registration documents matching the Seller Central legal entity
- Bank account statement in the same legal name as the seller account
- Government-issued ID for the primary account holder
- Your open-order and pending-refund summary from the deactivation date
Recovery Steps
- 1
Keep fulfilling open orders
Unshipped orders at deactivation extend the hold and add claim risk. Ship everything you can and provide tracking.
- 2
Submit the reinstatement appeal on its own merits
Money is released fastest by resolving the underlying enforcement, not by asking about the balance.
- 3
Request removal of FBA inventory
Removal orders keep working in most deactivations. Leaving stock in fulfilment centres adds storage costs against a frozen balance.
- 4
Ask about disbursement only after the review closes
A separate, short, factual message referencing the case ID once the enforcement decision is final.
