Marketplaces monitor every seller's performance. When metrics slip or listings break rules, the consequences range from lower visibility to suspended listings or accounts. Understanding account health helps you prevent problems rather than react to them.
What account health usually measures
Exact metrics differ by platform, but most track:
- Order defects: negative feedback, claims and chargebacks.
- Cancellations initiated by the seller.
- Late dispatch and late delivery.
- Policy compliance: product authenticity, listing rules and restricted products.
- Customer service response times.
Why listings get suppressed
- Missing required attributes or images.
- Main image not meeting guidelines.
- Prohibited words in titles or descriptions.
- Pricing errors, such as prices far outside the expected range.
- Category or compliance documents not provided.
Fixing suppressed listings
- 1Open the suppressed or inactive listings report in your seller portal.
- 2Read the specific reason for each listing.
- 3Fix the underlying issue in your master catalogue, not only on the live listing.
- 4Resubmit and monitor until the listing is active again.
Preventing account health problems
- Keep stock accurate to avoid cancellations. See inventory sync for multichannel selling.
- Set realistic dispatch times you can always meet.
- Respond to customer messages within the platform's expected time.
- Keep invoices and brand authorisations organised in case of authenticity checks.
- Read policy update emails and act on them.
If you receive a warning
Respond calmly and specifically. Explain the root cause, what you have fixed and what you have changed to prevent it happening again. Generic responses are rarely accepted.
