Don’t waste your money and time If you're a suspended seller.
Thompson & Stein confidently promised that my account would be reinstated and claimed they had direct escalation channels with Amazon’s executive team.

After weeks of back and forth, they kept assuring me that the case was progressing and told me to wait 14 days. I was never provided with any actual proof of escalation or contact with Amazon executives, only vague explanations and reused templates.

When I asked for a refund, they first agreed to process it and said it would appear within 5–10 business days. That refund never came. Later, they refused the refund, citing a 60-day policy despite promising it earlier in writing.

Their responses became repetitive and dismissive, and they tried to redirect me to open a new account instead of fulfilling the original service I paid for — which was to reinstate my existing account.

My produce my own jewellery and Amazon suspended my account because I could not provide the invoices. I made the mistake that made jewellery showing names of celebrities which I understand now is illegal. I tried to appeal myself multiple times without any success. I basically have up on my Amazon seller account despite being a very profitable business for us. After I signed up I was assigned to Ralph and he explained step by step what the approach they will use to get the seller account restored. It appears I was missing some important details in my appeal letter that prevented me from getting back selling. After I submitted the appeal letter from Thompsonstein my account was restored within 2 days.

Disappointing Experience – Promised Reinstatement That Never Came

I hired Thompson & Stein to help reinstate my Amazon seller account.

They confidently promised that my account would be reinstated and claimed they had direct escalation channels with Amazon’s executive team. I paid $97, trusting their expertise.

After weeks of back and forth, they kept assuring me that the case was progressing and told me to “wait 10 more days” multiple times — which led nowhere. I was never provided with any actual proof of escalation or contact with Amazon executives, only vague explanations and reused templates.

When I asked for a refund, they first agreed to process it and said it would appear within 5–10 business days. That refund never came. Later, they refused the refund, citing a 60-day policy despite promising it earlier in writing.

Their responses became repetitive and dismissive, and they tried to redirect me to open a new account instead of fulfilling the original service I paid for — which was to reinstate my existing account.

If you're a suspended seller hoping to get real help, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere. Their communication may seem professional at first, but their results and integrity did not live up to expectations. I deeply regret trusting them with my case.

I did a lot of research online before signing up to Thompsonstein. I was surprised that many appeal agencies charge 600 or even more than 1000 usd for getting a seller account reinstated.

Thompsonstein has packages available I was also to able to afford. It took around 10 days for getting my seller account reinstated. Steve was helpful, emails were answered within 12 hours, i think this could be a bit faster but I am still happy to have my seller account reinstated.

I'm writing this review post to prevent others from making same mistake I did.

My experience with this company:
I saw this comapny online to fix my amazon seller account. I like their moneyback guaratee, but after unsuccessful of reviving my amazon seller account, I asked for money back but they only returned only 50% of the fees.

The process started as, fill in this template and mail to Amazon headquarters in Seattle.
I get no response from Amazon headquarters, I reach back to Thompsonstein, they told me to include another letter but this time include an additional document instead. In my head, Im wondering why they havent advised me earliar to include the attestion letter. it cost me extra mailing fees and time. before you know it 60 days has passed and they want me to write another letter and include another additional document. Im so fustrated and only wanted my money back, they claim theyve serviced me and will only return half my money.

This experience left me feeling scammed, and it wasted a lot of my time. I hope other seller avoid this company.

I am a long time Amazon seller

I am a long time Amazon seller, last month Amazon suspended my account due to an alleged multiple account violation. It turned that somehow my seller account was linked to an other account because I used my friends laptop to log in Seller Central. The issue I had to proof somehow that I am not linked to that other account.Thank good this was a pretty straight forward process to proof that i never owned or operated an other account. It took around 4 days for my account to be reinstated.

Amazon is my only source of income so I had to get back seller account. I tried to appeal myself multiple times but unsuccessful. After I signed up with those guys I was told my account will be restored within 48, but it took 1 week in total, which I believe should have been faster. But I am still happy that my selling privileges were reinstated.

This is a fraudulent website - Big Scammer

This is a fraudulent website—do not trust them. I made two payments on behalf of my friends, yet they provided no assistance in reinstating our Amazon selling account and refused to issue a refund. Each time I reached out, they responded with lies. Avoid paying them at all costs.

Thompson & Stein saved my Amazon business!

I was under so much stress about my Section 3 "violation" and later deactivation of my account despite having all the correct and submitted documents that Amazon requested. I talked to Amazon Seller Central support to no avail. I sent my documents again, but I received the same robo-AI messaging from Amazon to submit documents. I heard of Thompson & Stein through my Discord book selling group and decided to give them a try. They rushed me a professional appeal/action plan letter to send to Amazon. My account was reactivated in two days. They also told me what to do should Amazon denied my appeal, so I never felt that I was on my own, I had someone on my corner. Thank you!

Continuous support

I highly recommend Thompsonstein to help reactivate a deactivated AMZ account. Mine was all of a sudden deactivated for alleged "fraud". Of course no fraud there, just AMZ deciding to jeopardize your business as usual. Ralph Schneider worked with me, he knows the system, he knows who to talk to at AMZ and who are the poeple he gets feedback from. We filed several appeals one after one. Each time AMZ came up with something (or nothing) but Ralph just kept following up on the next steps, and telling me what to do, with strong confidence that the account would be reinstated. After several months of nonsense of AMZ and a terrible frustration, I actually gave up after the last feedback from AMZ saying "wait 2-3 weeks more", and I was looking for a way to close the account and move my inventory to a third party warehouse. And few days ago out of the blue the account was reactivated !!!! Ralph was very supportive and very available and super patient with me. My business is saved I have another chance to rebuild my lost sales.
So just go and use Thompsonstein, it is a no-brainer to reactivate your AMZ account ! And very affordable !

I would highly recommend Steven and…Thompsonstein

I would highly recommend Steven and Thompsonstein to solve your Amazon Suspension appeal. I received an email warning from Amazon saying we violated a policy and we had 72 hrs to respond and appeal before the account would be closed. I researched online to see how to handle the matter and read it's best to hire a professional when dealing with a suspension. We decide to go with Steven at Thompsontein and it was the very best decision we made. Within 24 hrs Steven and his team had an appeal letter and plan of action. We submitted it and had our account cleared from being suspended. Steven, was quick, professional and was very confident he would have our account stay in good standing. I highly recommend Steven and his team.

My account was deactivated due to IP issues. I tried taking care of it myself by submitting the appropriate documents and appeal after appeal I kept getting denied. I was told about thompsonstein & they handled my issue so fast ! My issue was a little bit more complicated & I was losing hope . They kept updating me and reassured that it was going to get reinstated. They didn’t lie ! Because what was supposed to be 2 weeks actually turned into 2 days! Props to this team because dealing with Amazon is not easy! Thank you so so much ! Words cannot describe how thankful I am for your services ! && also their prices are super reasonable with the amount of work that they put in !

I used them last month

I used them last month. Steve provided me with a strong appeal letter which helped to get my seller account reactivated. I believe Amazon makes the who appeal process way to complicated. It's is really hard to understand all the the requirements set out by Amazon by someone who does not have a lot of experience in appealing an seller suspension.

Saved us from Inauthentic Item Policy violation

After selling on Amazon for years without any issues, last month my seller account was suspended due to complaints about inauthentic items. The problem was that Amazon did not accept the invoices I provided. However, despite this, Thompson & Stein helped me to get back selling within a week. Thank you again!

They are not 100% money back guaranteed

While they did provide multiple appeals and affidavits, at the end of the day my store was never reinstated. This company displays a 100% money back guarantee (the reason I chose them over many other companies) on the front page of their website, but buries the 60-day clause in fine print, that you have to search for. They also don't respond in a timely manor making it easy to surpass the 60 day mark. People were nice but they didn't do what I hired them to do.

My Amazon account was suspended for listing unbeknowst to me an item that was a medical device. I contacted Thompson & Stein and explained my situation. They were responsive and attentive with my issue. They were confident that my account would be re-activated. Thompson & Stein created a Plan of Action letter and I submitted it to the internal support at Amazon and they rejected it. I told Thompson & Stein and they responded right away and created a second letter and I submitted to the internal team again. The internal team rejected again. I contacted Thompson & Stein and they told be this time to send the Plan of Action letter to Amazon Internal team in Seattle, WA. I still did not get my account re-activated so I contacted Thompson & Stein and they created an Affidavit and they told be to send to the internal team in Seattle, WA. It took a few months but finally my account was re-activated. Thompson & Stein especially Ralph Schneider was extremely responsive, attentive and confident with my situation even when I lost hope about my restoration of Amazon account. Ralph reassured me at every step my account would be re-activated. The price for the POA letter was very reasonable. My review was lengthly purposely because I wanted to share that Ralph Schneider of Thompson & Stein stayed with me from start to finish. He was extremely reassuring throughout the whole journey. If you ever have your Amazon account suspended YOU MUST hire Thompson & Stein the price is reasonable, they will create a well structured POA letter for you that will be accepted by Amazon. They are the Best! and I thank them for re-activating my account. Again they are the BEST!

I used this service this month

I used this service this month, and it took three appeals to get my Amazon seller account reinstated. Although it took longer than I expected, I appreciate that the follow-up appeals were provided free of charge. Thanks!
