High-vote services get prioritized for outreach
Blocked in Syria. A community report in February 2026 showed that the Amazon Payment Services supported-countries page lists nine MENA countries while omitting Syria. In March 2026 the team sent an official outreach email to Amazon naming this service among its restricted or blocked consumer offerings. No response from the company and no resolution has been recorded yet.
Contacted Company
Official outreach email sent to Amazon mentioning Amazon Payment Services as one of the restricted or blocked consumer services alongside Kindle, Audible, and Prime Video.
You can help change this. Syria's political situation has changed—all sanctions have been lifted. Many companies just haven't updated their policies yet. If you work at Amazon Payment Services or know someone who does, share our resources with their legal or compliance team. Sometimes all it takes is one person asking the right question.
Tips for advocating: Reach out to legal, compliance, or policy teams. Reference the lifted sanctions. Point to competitors who have already unblocked Syria. Every voice matters.
