Walmart Marketplace suspended — how to appeal a seller account
To appeal a Walmart Marketplace suspension, open a case with Partner Support through Seller Center and submit a corrective action plan. Address the specific performance standard or policy cited, supply sourcing or fulfilment documentation, and state the operational change already made.

Why Walmart Marketplace seller accounts get suspended
Seller performance standards
Order defect rate, on-time delivery, or cancellation rate below Walmart thresholds.
Authenticity or IP complaint
A brand or buyer reported items as not genuine.
Listing quality or content policy
Listings flagged for inaccurate content, prohibited claims, or category mismatch.
Price parity or pricing rules
Items priced inconsistently with Walmart pricing policy.
Unresponsive support metrics
Slow or missing responses to customer inquiries.
How to appeal, step by step
- Pull your Seller Scorecard first. Walmart evaluates against published standards. Your appeal should reference your actual metric values.
- Fix the operational cause before appealing. Walmart looks for evidence the problem is already resolved, not a plan to resolve it.
- Write a corrective action plan. Cause, what you fixed, and the mechanism preventing recurrence — the same structure Amazon expects.
- Attach sourcing documents for authenticity cases. Distributor invoices matching your sales volume.
- Submit one Partner Support case. Duplicate cases fragment the review.
