What happened
What is a regulatory suspension?
A regulatory suspension happens when Amazon removes listings or suspends your account for alleged violations of product safety, FDA, EPA/pesticide, or state rules (e.g. California Prop 65). Amazon enforces these to protect customers and comply with regulators. Missing or incomplete documentation often triggers the action.
The six regulatory issues we see most
Each needs a clear story and the right docs. Here's what Amazon is asking for.
- Pesticide / EPA
Products that qualify as pesticides under EPA but lack registration, labeling, or SDS. DIY: EPA registration, current SDS, correct labels.
- FDA
Dietary supplements with unapproved claims, cosmetics labeling, medical devices, or food compliance. DIY: Remove prohibited claims; provide facility registration, COAs, or lab reports where required.
- Medical claims
Disease or cure claims without FDA approval. DIY: Remove claims; reformulate or relist with compliant copy.
- Restricted products
Items needing approval or docs you haven't provided. DIY: Category approval and required documentation.
- California Prop 65
Substances subject to Prop 65 without required warnings. DIY: Warnings, testing, or documentation.
- Safety compliance
General product or children's product safety (e.g. CPSC). DIY: Certifications, test reports, compliance docs.

What Amazon expects
How to resolve a regulatory suspension (step-by-step)
- Read the notice. Note exact policy (FDA, EPA, Prop 65, etc.) and any deadline.
- Identify what's missing or wrong. Claims, SDS, registration, warnings.
- Gather evidence. Lab reports, SDS, EPA/FDA registration, Prop 65 warnings, COAs.
- Correct listings or remove claims before appealing if required.
- Write your appeal. Root cause, corrective actions, preventive measures. Tie every claim to docs.
- Submit in the same case thread. No contradictions with prior submissions.
Stuck? We do full case review, evidence mapping, and lab coordination when needed. We run the appeal until reinstatement or we tell you there's no path.
Proof, not promises
98% reinstatement rate. 5,200+ cases. We say no if we can't help.
98% details
98% is a historical rate across cases where we prepared the compliance response and ran the case through follow-ups. Amazon makes the final decision. We control what they review: completeness and consistency.
What Amazon expects
Evidence needed
We map lab reports, SDS, EPA/FDA registration, Prop 65 documentation, product images and packaging, ingredient docs, and manufacturer letters. Send your notice and we'll tell you exactly what we'll gather.
What we see when appeals fail
Amazon says no when compliance and story don't add up.
Right docs, one narrative. Generic appeals and wrong or outdated documents get a no.
Template appeals that don't address the specific regulatory issue fail. Outdated SDS, wrong product tests, or irrelevant lab reports hurt. Ignoring policy (e.g. leaving medical claims up) before appealing backfires. We tie every claim to current, verifiable compliance documents.
One story, start to finish.

International speaker · European Seller Conference (Prague), AMZFest (UK), Amazing Days Summit (Sofia), MAD Conference (Warsaw)
At conferences I don't only teach. I do this work every day; on stage I show what actually works and connect the dots from real cases.
My account was suspended in 2016. I burned weeks chasing templates and getting nowhere. That taught me how Amazon evaluates enforcement: real root cause, proof tied to every claim, a case log that never contradicts itself.
- Your case log only gets one chance to stay consistent
- Every submission is compared against what already exists
- Wrong moves slow reinstatement or shut it down entirely
- Premium means Or's judgment before anything is submitted
That's the spine of SellerAppeal. Since 2016 I've led 5,200+ reinstatement cases for Amazon sellers: account-level suspensions, inauthentic claims, policy violations, Section 3 investigations, frozen funds, compliance requests, and ASIN or listing takedowns.
Every case I accept, I lead: diagnose, build the response, run follow-ups, escalate when needed. I stop only when there's no viable path left.
If I can't help, I say so before you spend a dollar. If I do take it, I own it.
What Amazon sellers say after reinstatement
Sellers who refused to accept the verdict. Real names, real outcomes. From 5,200+ cases since 2016, here's what sellers say after reinstatement.
“Or was the only one who offered a solution to resolve everything without removing all the products from Amazon warehouses. In less than 24 hours after the appeal, my account was reactivated with all products available for sale.”
“My Amazon seller account was suspended and then a miracle. I paid Mr Or Shamosh who got me back on, so quick only 5 days later I was back!! I highly recommend him. He is brilliant, honest and genuine.”
“One of the greatest messages an Amazon seller can receive! I tried 2 other firms that both failed miserably and wasted about 5–6 weeks. Or fixed it in < 48hrs.”
“HUGE shoutout to Or Shamosh for his help with my PESTICIDE suspension. I fought them myself for a month with no results. Reached out on Friday. My listings were live again earlier TODAY. LESS THAN A DAY!”
“Shout out to Or Shamosh for helping me get one of my listings back online after it got taken down due to customer complaints! Thanks buddy.”
“I had a hijacker who really didn't want to leave. When Or sent me his organized method and we acted together, he dropped off my listing after a week and a half. I highly recommend him.”
“My account had been suspended for more than 6 weeks with 4 failed attempts. Then it was completely deactivated. I hired Or Shamosh and within 3 days it was reactivated. Add me to that recommendation list.”
“After a month of ongoing work, the product was finally reinstated. Or was available at any moment, a precise professional, and courteous.”
“A hijacker lowered my price by 40%. I turned to Or Shamosh who guided me through this process. Another week went by and the issue was resolved. Amazing service, patience, and he was available at all times.”
“A magician! I highly recommend Or for anyone who needs help with Amazon policy and listing reinstatement. He is patient, attentive, meticulous, and most importantly, professional and fast!”
“A competitor wrongly accused me of patent infringement. Or Shamosh helped me fix this problem very quickly and professionally! I'm more than happy with his service and communication.”
“Shamosh is a true professional and WIZARD! Very kind, super responsive, and extra helpful. He literally saved my business! God bless you both.”
“My listing was reported for PATENT infringement. Within 3 working days my listing was back online. Even after reinstatement, I had relisting issues. He sent another appeal and within 1 hour it was all back online.”
“Amazon notified me my account was under review. I immediately contacted Or Shamosh, who worked tirelessly all week. Within a short time, my account was reinstated. If you encounter issues, know you have a professional on your side.”
“A competitor filed a false Trademark claim. I had a thorough, well-written appeal the next day. My appeal was accepted and within a few days my listings were back up and live. I am beyond grateful.”
“Or Shamosh is AMAZING. Thank you my friend for helping me to reinstate my listings. He did an awesome job for appealing my patent complaint. You're the MAN.”
“Amazon incorrectly placed an 'Adult' flag on my listing. I fired off the emails in the morning and just half hour later got a reply from Amazon saying they have lifted the flag!!!! I'm beyond happy.”
“Thanks so much to Or Shamosh for reinstating my account!! You have done an amazing job and were able to get me selling again in no time! Definitely recommend his services!”
“I'd been struggling for about two months due to an incorrect pesticide tag. After almost 10 weeks of trying myself, Or helped me get the listing reinstated in less than a week. Without his help, I'm not sure if I'd ever have solved it.”
