Common Shopee Suspension Types
We track 6 distinct Shopee violation types. Here's every one we've mapped:
Shopee Chat Response Violation
lowYour Shopee seller account has been penalized for a low chat response rate. Shopee requires sellers to respond to buyer messages within a specific timeframe (typically 12 hours). Poor chat response rates affect your seller rating and can result in reduced visibility or penalties.
Shopee IP / Counterfeit Claim
highYour Shopee listings have been removed or your account penalized due to intellectual property or counterfeit claims. A brand owner has reported your products through Shopee's IP Protection Platform (SIPP) for trademark infringement, copyright violation, or counterfeit goods.
Shopee Late Shipment Penalty
mediumYour Shopee seller account has been penalized or restricted due to a high late shipment rate. Shopee requires sellers to ship orders within the specified days-to-ship (DTS) window. Exceeding the late shipment threshold results in penalty points and potential account restrictions.
Shopee Policy Violation
highYour Shopee seller account has been suspended or penalized for violating Shopee's seller policies. This covers listing violations, operational infractions, customer service failures, and community guideline breaches.
Shopee Prohibited Product Listing
highYour Shopee listings have been flagged or removed for containing prohibited or restricted products. Shopee maintains strict product compliance policies and has identified items that violate these guidelines.
Shopee Seller Risk Monitoring
mediumYour Shopee seller account is under risk monitoring or has been flagged for suspicious activity. Shopee's risk team detected unusual account behavior, identity concerns, or fraud indicators.

Important Warnings
Chat response rate is one of the easiest metrics to fix. Enable notifications and set up auto-replies.
Low chat response rates reduce your store's search visibility on Shopee, directly impacting sales.
Maintaining high chat response rates is required for Shopee Preferred Seller status and associated benefits.
IP violations accumulate. Multiple complaints can result in permanent store suspension.
If products are genuinely counterfeit, there is no appeal path. Remove the products immediately.
If products are genuine with proper documentation, recovery through appeal is likely.
Late shipment penalties are highly recoverable with process improvements. Focus on consistent on-time shipping.
Shopee uses a penalty point system. Points accumulated within a period can restrict your store's visibility and selling capabilities.
Using fake tracking numbers is a severe violation that can result in permanent account termination.
No guarantees: Accumulated penalty points may result in permanent shop closure.
