This guide is designed to give sellers a practical understanding of the topic before they make marketplace or business decisions. Requirements and platform policies can change, so current official marketplace information should always be checked for time-sensitive details.
Purpose of Account Health
Account Health helps sellers see policy and performance risks in one operational area.
Build a routine
Review the dashboard regularly, assign ownership for open issues and keep supporting documents organized.
Find root causes
Warnings may point to deeper problems in sourcing, listings, fulfillment, customer service or documentation. Fix the process, not only the notification.
Keep records consistent
Identity, business, payment and operational information should remain accurate and consistent.
Use official channels
When clarification is needed, use Amazon’s official seller support and case-management processes.
Prevent recurrence
After resolving an issue, update the business process that allowed it to happen so the same problem is less likely to return.
Root-cause analysis
When an issue appears, investigate the process behind it: catalog data, sourcing, fulfillment, customer service or documentation. A durable fix addresses the cause.
Prevent recurrence
After resolving an issue, update the checklist, workflow or training that allowed it to happen.
Issue log
Maintain an internal log with issue, date found, owner, due date, evidence, immediate containment, root cause and corrective action.
Catalog risk review
High-return or high-contact SKUs should trigger a review of product identity, attributes, images, condition and variation data.
Fulfillment risk review
Track late dispatches, shortages, damaged products and carrier exceptions to identify recurring process failures.
Documentation readiness
Keep genuine business and sourcing records organized and retrievable. Never fabricate or alter documents.
Security incidents
For suspicious access, secure recovery channels, revoke questionable sessions or integrations, preserve evidence and use official support.
Change management
Before major business-information, catalog, fulfillment or integration changes, identify dependencies and confirm records are current.
