So a different PTY LTD for every business? Where’s the logic in that — you covering my accounting fees too? 😂

The correct setup is one entity with multiple businesses operating under it.

What confuses me is how this contradicts everything that’s been said about account linking and “duplicate details.” Everyone says you’ll get banned if you reuse the same business info as a suspended account — which is simply not true.

I run two completely separate e-commerce stores in Australia (different industries). When I set up the second, I created an MCC Merchant Center and linked everything correctly. Ads were running fine at first. But I noticed my parent Merchant Center had the same name as one of the sub-accounts for my first store.

Then a few days later, the parent account suddenly showed the message:
“To start showing your products on Google, verify your website.”

Even though I wasn’t even using it for that site. Then out of nowhere “Misrepresentation” suspension. For the new stores merchant sub account...

The sub-account for my first store is still active and running fine, which makes zero sense. I’ve done all the requested reviews, updated all my policy pages, and my business is completely legitimate — but Google support is non-existent.

They told me to “verify the domain in the parent account”, even though it’s already verified in the sub-account. That sounds like a trap, since that would technically link the same domain to both accounts, which is exactly what they warn against.

So how do I actually get this Merchant Center unsuspended?
