Suspended account (Section 3) has Brand Registry — can I add another seller as admin to keep selling under my brand?
My Amazon seller account got suspended under Section 3 (product authenticity). I'm actively appealing but the process is taking a long time. Here's my situation:
- I have a registered trademark and my brand is enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry under my suspended account
- I have a separate person (a business partner) who I'd like to sell under my brand while my appeal is ongoing
- I would be supplying the products to them — they'd just be selling under my brand name on their own clean seller account
My questions:
- Can I add them as a Brand User / admin in Brand Registry from my suspended account? Or does the suspension block this?
- Would the Brand Registry connection between my suspended account and their account flag them as a "related account"? I've read that related account detection can get a clean account suspended too.
- Has anyone actually done this successfully? Or did the connection cause problems for the other person's account?
I'm not trying to create a stealth account or circumvent my suspension — I just want to keep my brand alive and have someone sell legitimate products while I sort out my appeal.
Any experience or advice appreciated. Thanks.
