Please keep on reading, as we will will analyze in detail the steps to follow and the alternative solutions if they do not work. Pay close attention below.
Downgrade the account to individual
To pause you Amazon Seller account using this method, simply downgrade the account to a Personal Seller Account (individual selling plan) under your account plan settings, on your Seller Central Settings. Long story short, this is the method to stop paying for your Amazon Seller account.
How to downgrade an Amazon Seller Pro account to individual
- Log in to your Seller Central Account
- Go to Settings > Account Info
- Under “account management” click on the link “Downgrade Account”
You can always switch to the PRO account again in the future.
Switch to vacation mode
If you want to pause you Amazon Seller account, Amazon's vacation mode is an excellent option for sellers who want to take a break from work. This tool allows you to deactivate your ads for a predetermined period. This way sellers will be able to protect themselves from negative comments that users might write to them for not responding. Amazon's vacation mode works in two ways:
- If you are the one who handles all the orders on your account, Amazon's vacation mode allows you to deactivate your ad. This usually requires 36 hours for it to be removed from the list of websites, and you can reactivate your account whenever you wish.
- If it is Amazon that is responsible for fulfilling your orders, vacation mode allows you to keep your listing active, so your product will continue to sell and generate revenue while you enjoy your break away. However, you will still need to take the time to check your performance and customer messages to make sure everything is working accordingly.
How to start vacation mode on Amazon
- Visit Seller Central, go to settings, and then select “Account Information.”
- Click on the Holiday settings, select “Inactive” and submit the request.
Close your Amazon listings
If the case is that you are unable to fulfill the order due to lack of product supply or any technical issues you are having, instead of canceling your account, you can simply close the Amazon listing. This is what will allow you to give you time to resolve technical issues or find new suppliers for your products without losing your Amazon seller account. To close your listing, follow the steps below.
How to close your Amazon listings
- Visit the Seller Central page
- Select the products you would like to stop listing.
- Click on the “Action” menu and from there select “Closed Listings”.
Deleting your Amazon product listings
If you now have some products that you no longer wish to sell or make changes to the title, you can delete those product listings. To delete the product listing follow the steps below.
How to delete your Amazon Seller product listings
- Visit Seller Central and click on “Inventory”. Now select the products you want to edit.
- Click on the “Edit” menu and, in the drop-down menu, select the option “Delete products and listings”.

Yes you can, as long as you don't use any of the old account's data.

- Resolve any outstanding issues: Before your account can be closed, Amazon may require you to resolve any outstanding issues, such as pending orders, returns, or customer inquiries. Make sure to address these matters before proceeding with the account closure.
- Request a refund (if applicable): If you have any remaining balance in your seller account, you can request a refund. Amazon will review your account and determine if you are eligible for a refund based on their policies. The refund process and eligibility may vary, so it's recommended to carefully review Amazon's guidelines or contact their seller support for specific instructions.
- Follow up and confirm closure: After initiating the account closure, monitor your email for any communication from Amazon regarding the closure process. They may request additional information or provide further instructions. Respond promptly and follow any necessary steps to confirm the closure.
It's important to note that the refund process may not be applicable in all cases, especially if your seller account has an outstanding balance or if there are any contractual obligations or fees that need to be settled. Amazon's policies and procedures can change over time, so it's advisable to refer to their official documentation or contact their seller support for the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding account closure and refunds.

Wait, so if I close my Amazon seller account, does all my inventory vanish? 🤔
Nope, you have to ask FBA to return it to your warehouse, donate, destroy or liquidate it
