Since 2015, ASGTG has been the only free sellers group for legitimate sellers vying for a level playing field with black hat international sellers. This page will document some of the horrifying suspensions/issues of legitimate sellers and whether they were resolved. Many of these have been reinstated by these escalations. Most recent first.

To escalate your issue, post on Twitter and tag @amznsellerhelp (this is official Amazon). Make sure not to reach out to anyone else that reaches out. You can also tag @amazonasgtg

You can also post on ASGTG FB using #workWithUsAmazon . This is not Amazon's official channel, but Amazon lawyers and executives follow it.
