How to Get Support for Your Amazon Ads Account and Campaigns
Starting in 2024 Amazon provides a dedicated Ads support team for Sponsored Products, Brands and Display. Sellers must log into advertising.amazon.com and can contact via live chat (answers in minutes), email (24‑hour response) or phone (business‑hour only). The portal requires login before ticket creation, ensuring agents see campaign metrics.
Overview
Amazon runs a separate, specialized support team for sellers who use its advertising products. Starting in 2024, any question about Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, Sponsored Display, or other Amazon Ads services must be routed to this dedicated channel. Knowing the correct path saves time, prevents mis‑directed tickets, and gets sellers faster, more accurate help for campaign performance, budgeting, and technical issues.
Key Points
- Dedicated advertising support team — Queries about any Amazon Ads campaign are handled by a group trained exclusively on the advertising console, not by the general Seller Central help desk.
- Multiple contact options — Sellers can choose live chat, email, or phone (where available) to reach the ads support team, allowing flexibility based on urgency.
- Support in 12+ languages — The ads help desk offers assistance in more than a dozen languages, making it usable for sellers operating in Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
- Login required before contacting — Access to the support portal is granted only after the seller signs into their Amazon Ads account, ensuring agents can view the relevant campaigns and metrics.
- Self‑service learning hub — Amazon provides a library of courses, video tutorials, and documentation that cover everything from basic campaign creation to advanced bidding strategies.
- Response times vary by channel — Live chat typically yields answers within minutes, email responses are available 24 hours a day, while phone support may be limited to business hours in certain marketplaces.
How to Access Amazon Ads Support
- Sign in to the Amazon Ads console — Open advertising.amazon.com and log in with the credentials linked to your seller account; for example, a seller managing US and DE campaigns must use the same credentials to see both marketplaces.
- Navigate to the Help icon — Once logged in, click the question‑mark or “Help” icon located in the upper‑right corner of the dashboard; this reveals a drop‑down menu with “Contact Support” and “Resources.”
