Amazon Account Health Rating Myths That Could Lead to Account Deactivation
❌ “I need a perfect 1,000 to be safe.”

🗑️ “Deleting a listing fixes the problem.”
Wrong. According to Amazon’s own documentation, removing the ASIN doesn’t resolve the violation. You must submit a Plan of Action (POA)This is a written account of how you int… More and get it accepted.
📉 “My sales volume affects AHR.”
