    • Hi Gaurav,

      As per Amazon policies, your order defect rate should be less than 1% at all times. Kindly go through your account and analyse the reasons why you have received returns, negative reviews or A-Z claims. Based on that write a Plan of Action or Appeal letter apologizing for the policy violation and reasons that caused it. In that clear explains the following:

      1. The root cause(s) of the A-to-z claims, negative feedback and service chargebacks – the reasons that you have identified above.
      2. The immediate actions you have taken to resolve these reasons that you have identified.
      3. The steps you have taken to prevent any such issue going forward.

      Do not blame customers, competitors or Amazon in any way. Only write about where you went wrong and what steps you have taken to avoid such issues in future.

      You can refer the sample POA in the article above.

      If you require a professionally written POA and video consultation regarding the same, you can check our service details at https://amazingmarketer.in/services/suspended-amazon-seller-account-reinstatement
