Why This Happens
Amazon allows dropshipping ONLY if you are the seller of record, your packaging and invoices show your name (not the supplier), and you handle returns. Using other retailers (Walmart, Target, AliExpress) as your fulfillment source is explicitly prohibited. Common triggers include: packages arriving with other retailer branding, gift receipts from other stores, late shipments due to supplier delays, invalid tracking numbers, and customers receiving items in non-Amazon packaging. Amazon's detection has become increasingly sophisticated in 2025-2026.
