Marketplace accounts send signals long before anything serious happens. Learning to read them is the cheapest form of account protection.
What to watch
- Customer complaints, especially about authenticity or condition
- Late shipment and cancellation rates
- Notices about policy or intellectual property
- Verification requests that go unanswered
What to do when something appears
Respond promptly and factually. Keep your invoices organised and consistent with what you sell, so you can answer a complaint with real documents.
If a notice looks serious, get help early. A clear, accurate response is far better than a rushed one.
