This happened to me with my Amazon (non AWS) account.
I live in Europe, and when shopping on Amazon, sometimes the thing I want is in The UK or the US, I'll always try to get it from Europe first so it saves on carbon. But after Brexit, using Amazon UK was no good since getting anything out of the UK was painfully slow.. so I started to use Amazon Germany.
Suddenly my account was flagged as fraudulent, i was banned, and I've tried multiple times to get it unbanned.... To no avail.
I was told by one of the customer support people the real reason why it was banned... You're not supposed to hop from one Amazon country to another.
So why have a universal login?
So all my books on Kindle were gone, my movies and tv shows I digitally bought through Prime Video were gone... Everything, all because i committed the crime of not always buying from the same country.
So now i make throw away accounts one for each country, and hop between them, refuse to subscribe to prime, and refuse to give Amazon anymore money.
