Absolutely no one is going to give you proprietary information as to who their suppliers are.
YOU need to do research on your own and follow Amazon's policies in the process.
I cannot believe how lazy these new sellers have become.

Did you contact the brand to see if something could be worked out, as was suggested on your other thread?
As for sourcing products to sell, it's (past) time for you to do some reading. We'll give you a push in the right direction but as @Seller_8Wfpcf6cHQaPy stated, you must do the research.

I have no issue helping you out. To find AUTHORIZED Suppliers, you need to reach out to them. Here are two ways to do it.
1) go to your local Store of choice, open your seller app and scan the UPC. See if you think it is profitable to sell the item. Next to the UPC code or above it you will see something like:
Copyright: Manufacturer
Distributed by: Manufacturer
address
All rights reserved. Made in: Country. Website address (if you are lucky)
Thats the basic info you need to know. google the company reach out and ask if they are taking Amazon sellers. You will get a yes or no. If yes set up an account and buy items. If no move on to the next item,. Repeat as you like.
DO NOT BUY THE ITEM FROM THE STORE, only from the Manufacturer.
2) Google Trade shows in (your country or country you want to sell in) this will give you a list. You can do the same thing by category (Toy shows, hardware shows, etc.) there are a lot of them. Register and attend. Buying at a trade show is an art form and once you lean the language things get easier.

FIRST, you have to address the "deactivated" account.
Post your suspension notice but remove personal information -- name, address, etc. -- so we can see if they are just asking for steps you will take or if they already used their death sentence language.
I GUARANTEE YOU that Amazon did NOT just say "find authorized suppliers."
They told you to explain what you did, why you did it, and WHY you can be trusted to NOT do it again since you already have proven you don't follow the rules.
ALL the other advice is great but will only be of use AFTER you address the suspension.

Try Google or the new and improved Google ChatGPT.
Just make sure to verify the answers for feasibility.

You need to activate the account first as any reputable supplier will check you AMAZON account before allowing you to sell on AMAZON (and many will not allow anyone to sell on AMAZON) before wasting your time contacting manufacturers make sure you also have you business license and resale certificate as both will be required as well as good credit rating.

You need to buy directly from a manufacturer or wholeseller. Purchasing through Alibaba, Mercari, Walmart, Target, Ebay or anything like that will always get you suspended. You need to have a letter of authenticity (LOA) from the manufacturer or wholeseller. You may have some luck writing a short but detailed Plan Of Action, but this is not always guaranteed. Much like dropshippers, I don't see a lot of inauthentic product penalties getting their accounts back.

To operate a successful online business, you have to know how successful online businesses operate, and that is what you have to bring to the Amazon site.
First, you do not go seeking products to sell online. You go to the manufacturers. You need to shop where Amazon shops, Retail B&M stores around the counrty shop, 1,000's of successful Amazon sellers shop, and where even I shop. They all attend the ASD show in Las Vegas. Look it up on line. It is held twice a year, in February and August. It only costs showing your state retail license to gain admittance.
The show lasts a week, and that is not even enough time to see everything for sale at the wholesale level. 1000's of manufacturers attend offering well over a million different products to sell. And yes, Amazon will accept your invoice from these companies. Just about everything sold at Walmart (except clothes), you can find there and a lot more.
How you may think, because these companies sell to Amazon and Walmart, they will not sell to little old you. Incorrect, You are dealing with company sales staff who are there specifically to draw in new buyers to their product line.
Even if you want to start your own product line, many of the companies there will actually put your brand name on the product, if that is what you want.
Often other sellers say on these threads I should not be telling new commers this information. But here is the beauty of it. There is always room for one more seller to succeed, because no one seller, not even Amazon can sell everything under the sun that is available.
Go look up the show.

I see this reply "I cannot believe how lazy these new sellers have become." You so called professional sellers should show some understanding and STOP the rude comments.
After 17 years on these forums, it starts getting to you when reading some of these requests. As @Seller_LImVvUWeyiCfQ rightly stated, critical thinking is non-existent in many these days, with many relying on the easy way out instead of employing some common sense.
