Developer Profile Review
The decision to grant or deny Selling Partner API access is made based on the information that you provide in your Developer Profile, including but not limited to your application functionality and your compliance with the Acceptable Use Policy and the Data Protection Policy. We cannot provide detailed information about how we determine Selling Partner API eligibility, but we prioritize data security in these decisions. Refer to Registration recommendations for more policy information.
If you close or do not respond to questions about your case within five days, your case will be resolved and your SP-API access will remain unchanged.
