In the fast-paced world of Amazon selling, it's easy to overlook administrative details. However, neglecting to keep your emergency contact information current can lead to significant disruptions in your business operations. Let's delve into why this is crucial and how you can ensure your account remains in good standing.

The Critical Role of Emergency Contact Information

Amazon utilizes your emergency contact details to communicate urgent matters that require immediate attention. These include:

• Account Deactivation Risks: If your account is at risk of suspension due to policy violations or performance issues, Amazon will attempt to notify you promptly. Missing these alerts can lead to account deactivation. ​

• Listing Problems: Issues with your product listings, such as inaccuracies or policy breaches, need swift resolution to prevent potential sales losses.​

• Critical Account Issues: Any other urgent matters that could impact your ability to sell on the platform.​

An accurate and accessible emergency contact number ensures you receive these critical notifications without delay.​

Immediate Steps to Safeguard Your Account

To ensure you're always in the loop regarding your account status:

1. Verify and Update Your Emergency Contact Number:

   • Log into Seller Central.​

   • Navigate to Settings > Notification Preferences.​

   • Locate the Emergency Notifications section and click Edit.​

   • Ensure your phone number includes the correct country code and is one you monitor regularly.​

2. Confirm Your Email Address:

   • Ensure the email associated with your Seller Central account is current and checked frequently.​

3. Set Up SMS Alerts:

   • If available, enable SMS notifications for urgent alerts to receive real-time updates.​

4. Educate Your Team:

   • If you have a team, ensure they know the importance of these contact details and the procedures to update them.​

Stay Proactive with Account Health

Regularly monitoring your Account Health Dashboard is vital. Amazon assigns an Account Health Rating (AHR) on a scale from 0 to 1,000, with accounts starting at 200. Scores below 200 indicate increased risk of deactivation. By keeping your contact information updated, you ensure timely communication about any issues affecting your AHR. ​
