Overview

Amazon Seller Central provides sellers with a collection of additional guidelines covering key compliance topics, from intellectual property disputes to account health management. This reference page serves as a central hub directing sellers to important resources on DMCA counter-notices, policy violation appeals, and account health support. Understanding where to find these resources can save sellers valuable time when navigating compliance challenges.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• DMCA Counter-Notice Process — If you believe your listing was wrongly removed due to a copyright claim, Amazon provides a formal process for submitting a counter-notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Knowing how to use this process is essential for protecting your catalog.

• Policy Violation Appeals — When Amazon flags a policy violation on your account, you have the right to appeal the decision. The appeals process requires sellers to provide a clear plan of action addressing the root cause of the violation.

• Account Health Support — Amazon offers dedicated support resources to help sellers understand and improve their account health metrics. Proactively monitoring these metrics can help prevent unexpected suspensions or listing removals.

• Compliance Check Requests — Sellers can request compliance checks to verify that their listings and account practices meet Amazon's current standards. This proactive approach can help identify issues before they escalate into formal violations.

• Centralized Resource Hub — Rather than searching across multiple help pages, this guidelines hub consolidates links to the most important compliance and policy-related support documents in one place.

How the Additional Guidelines Hub Works

Amazon's Additional Guidelines page functions as a directory that connects sellers to specialized help resources across several compliance domains. Each linked resource provides detailed instructions for a specific process, whether that involves responding to an intellectual property complaint, understanding why a listing was suppressed, or navigating the appeals workflow after receiving a policy warning. Sellers should bookmark this page as a starting point whenever they encounter a compliance-related issue, as it can significantly reduce the time spent searching for the right support documentation. The page is periodically updated as Amazon introduces new policies or modifies existing enforcement procedures.
