Amazon Account Stuck “Under Review”: What It Means and How Long It Really Takes
“Under review” means Amazon has paused your account or listing while a specialist team verifies documents, investigates a complaint, or checks for policy risk — it is not a suspension, but it can restrict selling privileges the same way one does. Most reviews resolve in 3-7 business days, though verification-heavy cases can run longer.
Common Reasons for a Review Hold
- Identity or business document re-verification
- A pending complaint from a rights owner or another seller
- Unusual account activity (login location, bank detail change, sudden volume spike)
What You Can Do While Waiting
Respond to any document requests within 24 hours, avoid making further account changes (bank details, business address) mid-review, and check Account Health daily rather than opening duplicate cases with Seller Support.
Quick Answers
Should I contact Seller Support while under review?
One clear case update is fine; repeated follow-ups within the same day tend to reset queue priority rather than speed things up.
