My tips

• →Fix the listing first, then appeal. An appeal on an unfixed listing rarely works.
• →Keep it short and factual. Say sorry once at most.
• →Name each file clearly, like invoice-supplier-2026-09.pdf.
• →Mind the deadline on the notice. A late appeal cannot be sent.

Questions people ask

How long do I have to appeal a TikTok Shop violation?

The notice shows the deadline. Seller University gives about 30 days for a first appeal, and a shorter window for a second one, but always go by the date on your notice.

What proof works best in an appeal?

Documents that answer the exact reason: supplier invoices for authenticity, lab or test reports for claims, tracking and photos for shipping cases, and a screenshot of the fixed listing.
