I’m hoping someone here (current or former Amazon employee) can give me practical advice or point me toward the right escalation path for my UK seller account.

Quick background:

• Long-standing 7-digit seller account
• Suspended/enforced multiple times for allegedly selling “restricted products” via “evasive seller practices” (based on a competitor’s complaint)

Key facts:
• The products in question are not restricted.
• We completely exited that entire category/sub-category in 2025.
• The issue affected only one small sub-category that represented less than 10% of our total sales.
• We discontinued that sub-category last year and have had zero sales or new seller activity in it since the first suspension.
• Some minor listing issues (e.g. an “ingestible” claim on a clearly non-ingestible product) were caused by a third-party listing hijacker.
• Our competitor gained ~80% control of the category, yet competitor sales in that category had been declining with less competition and less external traffic we were bringing to Amazon before the suspension
• We gained nothing from the alleged “evasive” behaviour, as same “restricted product” sold legitimately by multiple sellers.

What we’ve already done:
• Submitted standard appeals and escalated multiple times.
• Successfully reinstated twice after deep dive account reviews.
• Despite no new violations or sales, the account keeps getting enforced/suspended again.

We’re out of ideas on what to try next. Standard appeals clearly aren’t enough at this point.

What I’m looking for:
• Any escalation steps, email addresses, internal teams, or processes that have worked for similar repeated-reinstatement cases specifically in the UK.
• Advice from people who have dealt with competitor complaints, account hijacking claims, or old 7-digit accounts.
• Honest feedback if this situation is salvageable or if there’s something else I should be doing. 6 years of my life was spend building that account.

Any guidance would be hugely appreciated. Happy to provide more details privately if needed.

Thank you in advance!

Just want a sense check before I let anxiety take over.

Woke up this morning to a 15 minute meeting invite from my HRBP who I have never ever spoken to before, before this morning I didn’t even know she existed.

The meeting is lat in the evening for me, but early for the HR lady based on her time zone.

I have had no context, no prior communication with her.
Checked my boss’s calendar, she has the entire day blocked off except those 15 minutes.

Should I expect a nice firing conversation? Or is it a regular check up you suppose?

Relevant details:
- Amazon is the owner of the company I work for.
- I’m the only employee in the region of operation and leading the full scope.
- I’m L6
- I’m not based in the US.

Thank you.

We just got mail for the India Commuter Benefits program. As per the new rules, if you're in tier 1 and Tier 2 cites and if you are L4 and above, then you need to pay monthly deductions of 4000 (tier 1) and 1500 (tier 2) from your base pay. Additionally, you will also not get 4k free cab allowance.

This is really shit, considering work from office is mandatory for 5 days and a lot of people travel using office cab as the office are mostly on the outskirts of the city limit.

Someone really need to start an escalation change and Should add all employees for support. This is really bad.

I work at an SSD in Michigan and I had a MLOA for March 5th and it was denied so I should have gotten 10 hrs taken. It’s now may 19th and still never took the UPT away. Am I good? lol

How many of you are passionate about what you do? After 10+ years I feel I am just here for the salary. Sometimes it feels like we are solving problems for the leaders and not for customers.

Recently switched teams and org (3ish months ago). Seemed like a good fit at first but I’m realizing that I was wrong. Not looking to go back to my old org but how bad would it be if I moved again after a short time? Is that even possible (meaning would another team even be interested or be scared off by my short time on the new team)? I have an unsustainable workload that increases weekly as my partner team continues to dump work on me with no handover. I can see me being the scapegoat for failed launches of product despite the products being in work for over a year against my much shorter tenure. I’m a L6 in the HQ2 area. Zero issue with RTO or anything like that from me. It’s about the work and fit. Trying to get ahead of the problem before another round of layoffs or even PIP. Any advice?
Trying to stick it out until my last big stock vest but that’s harder every single day.

Hi Everyone,

As I shared in my last post, I was in focus for 5 months.. unsuccessful. Im thinking to opt for Pivot as I want to stay in Amazon, any tips/suggestions how to survive pivot, not sure its a good decision( or my anxiety is saying to opt for it) or not, feel like i should try .
Im in Amazon for 1.5 months in Europe
Note: I haven’t received any doc shared by manager /HR yet .

I interviewed with Amazon in early May for the summer 2026 sde intern role. About a week after my interview I got an email saying I successfully completed my interviews and to await next steps. After exchanging emails with my recruiter they said they were searching for a team placement. Fast forward a couple of weeks and they still weren’t able to find a team placememt but asked if I was interested in a Fall internship. I wanted to know what the process for fall internship is like and how likely/long it would take for me to get matched to a team.

I got a survey mail that read - Share your feedback: Your recent interview experience at Amazon

After giving a DSA and a LLD round. What does this mean? Am I out?

Got final written since i came late and couldn’t find a working truck since all were taken and received tot. I’m a great worker all around that little mishap was since i’m new and honestly didn’t think they counted that against us. Was hoping nothing would get in the way of me receiving blue badge.

I work in a warehouse. Who would you call/what would you do if you were me and didn’t get that bonus check that you were told was a standard bonus for 5 years of service?

Does anyone transfer money from they us bank focus card? If so does the money transfer instantly? Or it takes a few days! Also is their a fee to transfer money to my Chime account?

Just curious cause I was just thinking about this, say a customer bought some like rare gummy’s or drink or something along those lines. Any handlers ever thought, “oh i’m buying some of those when i’m off the clock.” ? or any interesting thing like that?

I feel like if I was working at amazon, id do something very similar and think “oh dang i need those for me!” very often !
