How often does Amazon check associations? What are the impacts?

The rules related to the Amazon platform are very strict. For most merchants, if their store is linked, it is easy for their store to be closed by the platform. How often does Amazon check the association?

1. How often do Amazon associations need to be checked?

30 days. In fact, for this situation, sellers still need to do a good job of preventing Amazon account association in advance, so as to avoid the situation where their accounts are suddenly blocked. And if the account is suddenly blocked, especially for an account that is operating well, the orders belonging to this account will be stopped immediately, and then sellers have a lot of follow-up issues that need to be dealt with, which is something that sellers do not want to see.

2. What are the consequences of Amazon association?

1. Amazon does not allow the same seller to operate multiple stores on the same site. Therefore, if Amazon finds that you have multiple stores on the same site, the seller will be notified and asked to choose a store to keep. The other stores will be closed and suspended.

2. Since Amazon clearly stipulates that the account to be associated is blocked, the associated account will also be blocked. The consequence is very obvious, and this is also the main reason for Amazon to block the account. Of course, this situation is more common in the same site. If it is on different sites, many sellers have found that it generally has no impact.

3. As for the associations on different sites, generally this will not affect the account, and Amazon will not punish these accounts.

Amazon's associated platforms are always checking. If your store's association is discovered, your store will be closed. The impact of a store closure is still very large, and there is no time limit for how long it will be checked. It could be three days or a week.
