Account linking is an issue that many Amazon sellers are very concerned about, such as: Will different Amazon sites be linked?I suddenly received an account linking notification. How can I investigate the cause of the account linking?We will respond to these questions one by one below.

Q1: Will the different Amazon sites be linked?

A: Amazon's different sites may be related, but due to the special and sensitive nature of this topic, Amazon is not in a position to share more information. Amazon advises sellers to carefully read Amazon policies and strictly abide by the Amazon policy red lines!Compliant sellers are also requested to operate at ease. Amazon will ensure the normal operation of the accounts of compliant sellers. However, in an attempt to bypass or violate Amazon's selling policies, Amazon may take appropriate measures, such as canceling products, suspending or forfeiting payments, and revoking selling privileges.

Q2: What are some common events that can lead to account linking?

You can refer to the following various troubleshooting directions to determine the source event that causes the account to be linked:

1. Have you or a family member, friend, or employee at your company registered another selling account?Do they know or own the account?

2. Has anyone helped you open a selling account before?If so, what kind of help do they provide?

3. Have you helped others set up accounts or managed accounts for other sellers?

4. Have you shared any information about your account rights with anyone other than you (such as your friends, family, or third parties)?

5. Has anyone else (former employee, family friend) helped operate your account or has your login details?

6. Have you used any third party services (third party business management, agency, any application programming interface (API) or VPN tool, etc.) to help operate your selling account?These services may include account creation, inventory management, marketing, delivery, logistics, etc. If so, what kind of services do they provide?

7. Have you received suspicious emails from unknown sources?

8. Have you noticed any unauthorized charges?Are you a victim of account theft or identity theft?

In addition, sellers should also be reminded that they can prevent potential linked account risks in the following ways on a daily basis.

● If you use agents or service providers, please be careful to screen formal service providers and agents, and record and file supporting documents such as relevant contracts.

● Please strictly control who has permission to log in to your account, and remind relevant personnel to avoid using unencrypted public networks to log in to Seller Central or change login devices to avoid threatening account security.
