A seller acting in UK, EU and US under a global selling account, in case is suspended in UK and DE (for example) under section 3 or other violations considered important (IP, VAT issues and so…but not dropshipping), will be suspended in US too? And viceversa… If yes, is there any solution to keep markets separated? Thank you!

Hello @Mirela,
thank you for posting into our forum. You are correct that any Seller Account deactivations enforcing serious policy violations will equally impact other international Amazon marketplaces.
The only suspensions which don’t extend across different sites are metrics related or marketplace related (when you fail to comply with local regulations that don’t apply elsewhere).
There exists no way how to detach the sites from each other. Even if these were disconnected, they would be still linked. Amazon uses numerous factors to link accounts, including e-mail address, phone number, bank account, credit card, inventory, SKU patterns, IP address usage patterns…

I’m thinking about transferring the business account in US to an Llc (which I have to open 
), just to be on the safe side. But on other hand, that Llc (or another EU company. maybe) it will be linked to my residential address, name, IP address…). Could this be a solution?
Once a link is created, it cannot be disconnected. Any accounts that are connected to you by either e-mail address, phone number, bank account, credit card, inventory, SKU patterns, IP address usage patterns remain on Amazon’s watchlist.
A very clever way of maintaining a backup account can be achieved by having a family member open a Seller Account using a mobile device with a sim card, that never gets linked to your main account and there are no relations - such as shared address, banking or card details, and you never access your account using that device and internet connection.

No way to separate already linked accounts on Amazon
even if that family member lives at same address like me? And how am I supposed to access that account while we are both in the same house?
Well, you could potentially have the same address, but nothing else can match. The account must be maintained using a different device and internet connection. There can be no shared CC or banking details and inventory must be different.
That makes sense! Keeping everything separate—like the device, internet connection, payment methods, and inventory—is definitely key to avoiding any overlap. It sounds like a lot to manage, but it’s probably the safest way to maintain independent accounts. Also, if you’re dealing with SIMs, don’t forget to check for TM roaming activation if needed—it’s important for maintaining connectivity while traveling. Have you tried this setup yourself? Any tips on keeping it organized?

When dealing with a global selling account, suspensions in one marketplace like the UK or DE can potentially affect your US account, depending on the type of violation and the platform’s policies. Issues like IP infringement or VAT problems are often considered serious, and marketplaces may share flags across regions, which can put your other accounts at risk. Unfortunately, completely separating markets under a single global account is usually difficult because the accounts are linked under the same seller profile.
One approach is to proactively ensure compliance in each region and maintain proper documentation, similar to how a sim registration tm verifies user identity to prevent issues—accurate information and verification are key to keeping everything running smoothly. Regularly monitoring your account and addressing violations quickly can help minimize cross-marketplace impact.
