## Prompt

```text
Help me write a plan of action to appeal an Amazon seller account or listing suspension.

**Notification text:** [PASTE THE EXACT MESSAGE FROM AMAZON]
**Policy cited:** [e.g. "inauthentic item complaint", "order defect rate above target", "late shipment rate", "restricted product", "intellectual property complaint", "related account"]
**ASINs affected:** [LIST]
**What actually happened:** [MY HONEST ACCOUNT of the root cause as I understand it]
**Evidence I have:** [supplier invoices with matching quantities and dates, letters of authorization, test reports, tracking data, rights-owner retraction]
**What I've already changed:** [PROCESS CHANGES SINCE THE NOTICE]

Write a plan of action in three sections:
1. Root cause(s): specific, factual, and owned. No blaming customers, Amazon, or competitors.
2. Immediate actions taken: what I did about the affected orders, listings, or inventory.
3. Preventive measures: process changes that stop it happening again, who is responsible, and how it will be checked.

Rules:
- Short and concrete, in bullet points. No emotional appeals, threats, or long backstory.
- Reference only evidence I actually have. List documents to attach and flag gaps as [ADD].
- Do not invent invoices, test results, or statements, and never suggest altering documents; false evidence can lead to a permanent ban.
- For intellectual property complaints, explain my options (retraction from the rights owner, proof of authenticity, or a formal counter-notice) and recommend legal advice before disputing a rights owner.

Also give me a checklist of operational fixes to complete before submitting. This is general guidance, not legal advice; for a high-value account, consider a qualified marketplace or legal advisor.
