Some sellers who begin to sell on Amazon might receive an email from Amazon, which notifies that his/her account has been blocked for BAP. What documents do you need to prepare? Let's go into more detail.
What Does BAP Mean?
Many Amazon sellers have received such an email notification about Amazon account blocked. However, some who have prepared necessary documents get approved; while others' accounts have been blocked forever. Therefore, passing BAP is quite critical to those sellers suffering from Amazon account blocked.
BAP stands for Behavioral Analysis Program, which is based on the registration and KYC Verification. It is another round of review to the suspicious account association, information, and compliance. Many people used the same documents the next day after suffering from failure but obtained the approval successfully. It's because the review is done by both Amazon staff and machines. You just need to submit the documents again after the failure.
Differences Between Amazon BAP & Registration
When it comes to Amazon registration, you would recall the review of legal's identity and business license. However, BAP is the review that occurs during the operation. It is to verify the operation time, invoice, inventory, and so on. What are the differences between them?
1. Different Objects
Registration: Legal's identity and business license;
BAP: Operation time, invoice, and inventory.
2. Censorship Levels
Registration: Easy to pass if effective documents are submitted.
BAP: Strict, in-depth, and comprehensive.
3. Documents
You need to prepare more documents to pass the BAP:
① Effective business license;
② Statements with address, such as any gas bill, telephone bill;
It's worth mentioning that it doesn't allow the use of statements of credit cards, Payoneer cards, and property. If the bill is issued by a third-party, effective proof must be submitted. Invoice can't be used as a statement.
③ VAT invoices for the product listings that you have;
④ Store operation time;
⑤ Purchase invoices in the past 6 months - it is to make sure that your purchasing channels meet Amazon's requirements;
⑥ Information of your latest orders which have been shipped;
⑦ Your site to sell the products;
⑧ Other websites on which you sell the products;
⑨ Address of your local warehouse and brick-and-mortar store;
Process of Amazon BAP
After you prepare the documents above, you can apply for the appeal. As a beginner, if you are not clear about the process of Amazon BAP, you've come to the right place.
Follow the steps below:
① Confirm that you've received the notification;
Prepare necessary documents in time for the appeal. If you are uncertain about it, contact your business manager.
② Prepare all required documents;
③ Contact your business manager to review the documents before the submission;
④ Submit your documents by clicking the button, "Appeal."
⑤ Contact your business manager to complete BAP.
If you fail the appeal for the first time, please contact your business manager to prepare for the appeal again. If you fail it twice, send an email with the documents, registered email address, and Case ID to your business manager.
Why Amazon BAP Is Required?
BAP is necessary because Amazon's requirements for the registration of a seller account are low, which leads to a miscellany of sellers and rule-breakers. The purpose of BAP is to control and verify Amazon sellers' stores, and protect loyal sellers.
After reading the article, you may think that you will have great difficulty in the approval. However, don't panic and worry about it. Just provide the necessary documents which are required in the email!
