Why Was My Walmart Seller Account Suspended?
Walmart suspends sellers for policy violations, performance issues, or compliance failures. The most common reasons include:
🔴 High Order Defect Rate (ODR > 2%) – Too many cancellations, returns, or negative feedback. 🔴 Late Shipments (On-Time Delivery < 95%) – Orders not delivered on time. 🔴 Policy Violations – Selling prohibited items, counterfeit goods, or listing errors. 🔴 Intellectual Property Complaints – Trademark or copyright infringement claims. 🔴 Fraudulent Activity – Fake tracking, dropshipping violations, or chargebacks.
First-time suspensions may last 3-14 days, but repeat violations lead to permanent bans.

Step 3: Write a Strong Plan of Action (POA)
Your POA must convince Walmart you’ve fixed the problem. Include:

Step 4: Submit Your Appeal
Log in to Seller Center > Appeals.

Walmart typically responds in 3-7 business days.
If no response, submit a follow-up request.
