If you’re an Amazon seller, you’ve likely faced the frustration of trying to get support when your listings are inactive, your ads aren’t showing, or you’re battling counterfeit products. Getting help quickly and effectively is critical to driving Amazon sales and maintaining a strong presence on the platform. In this guide, we’ll cover how to contact Amazon Seller Support the RIGHT way—saving time, reducing stress, and increasing the likelihood of resolution.
As the CEO of EHP Consulting Group, I’ve helped countless sellers overcome hurdles like these. Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Prepare Before You Contact Support
Before reaching out to Amazon Seller Support, you must identify the exact issue and desired resolution. Whether you’re dealing with listing reinstatement or trying to stop fake products on Amazon, preparation is key.
- Define the Problem: Is it a policy violation? A counterfeit issue? A technical glitch?
- Gather Evidence: Screenshots of inactive listings, emails, or reports of Amazon fakes can make or break your case.
- Set Clear Goals: Know exactly what you want—whether it’s reinstating a product or removing counterfeits from Amazon.
Step 2: Use the Right Support Pathways
Amazon provides multiple ways to resolve issues. Here are the three most effective methods:
Method 1: Standard Case Submission
- Go to “Help & Resources”
Navigate to the “Get Support” section in your Amazon Seller Central dashboard. - Choose the Correct Category
- Selling on Amazon: For listing, policy, or account-related issues.
- Advertising Issues: For problems with Amazon PPC campaigns.
- Submit Your Case
Provide a brief description of the issue. Attach screenshots and documents that support your claim. - Follow Up
Call Seller Support and reference your case ID. Politely request the issue be escalated if the first response doesn’t solve your problem.
Method 2: Open Multiple Cases
Sometimes persistence pays off. Create multiple cases for the same issue but rephrase your requests slightly. For example:
- Case 1: “My listing is inactive. Please reinstate ASIN XXXXX.”
- Case 2: “The listing ASIN XXXXX was removed unfairly. Kindly escalate this issue.”
- Case 3: “Urgent: ASIN XXXXX listing reinstatement required.”
This increases your chances of reaching the right team faster.
Method 3: Minimal Information Approach
Overloading Amazon with details can sometimes backfire. Open a case with basic information and let them request additional details. Once they respond, attach your screenshots and documents. This can prevent misdirection and improve resolution times.
Step 3: Escalate When Necessary
If your issue isn’t resolved, escalate it. Ask to speak with a manager or request the case be reviewed by a senior team. Here’s how:
- Politely request escalation through your open case.
- Reference your case ID when calling support.
- Persist until your issue is addressed.

Fakes and counterfeits can damage your brand and hurt your sales. If you’re dealing with this, Amazon offers a “Report a Violation” tool to remove Amazon fakes. Need extra help? Contact an Amazon Counterfeit Removal Expert for guidance.
