Cancelling one order should not cause problems but when an account is under review, I would not - you need to be clean in order to continue. Cancelling an order = alarm to Amazon = the end.
Make new account and take it from there.

Yes - make sure the item is good and clean so buyer won't be unhappy. Your funds will be available by Amazon - hope you pass the review well - all the best.

WTF do you need advice on that?
You made a contract with a buyer to SELL an item. So the buyer goes without just because
your account has troubles.
It's sellers like you that make amazon tighten up their procedures.

Very simple, you sold the item thus you need to ship the item. Don't punish the customer just ship the item and collect the money whenever its available.

If you want to sale on amazon then ship all the orders. Most people get review like that and you will get your money Quote:

First off Reviews on Amazon are COMMON and a LOT of times your Account comes out ok on the 28th day, It really depends on what you are selling.
Now, if you put something up for sale, and it sells, then you MUST SHIP, the Buyer has Nothing to do with Amazon. The Absolute worst Case is that you get your money in 90 days, No Big Deal.
Now if you cannot wait, then you Should Not be in this business.
If you DO NOT Ship that makes you a Lowlife and someone with NO Place on this Forum, You Do Not want that, do you?

@amazonebay, my advice aside and your am az on operation aside, I would advise not to speak of GreenBean in this manner - GB is a mod here and, as such, has every right to comment on every post (and do a lot of other tasks that help keep the forum running). GB is very well-respected and gives a lot of solid advice based on knowledge and experience. Cussing or writing this kind of stuff does not give you good credibility on this forum.
But all that aside, all the best with your stuff. Way too early in the morning at work for me to go hard-up ha

If this is the first item you sold, then I would advise building solid feedback with some cheaper items first in future.

Agree with what people have said. I know most people on here have good intentions, but I also know things can go horribly wrong, and you can find yourself in some difficult situations, especially when online selling is your sole source of income, and you find yourself doing crazy things out of desperation. But you should always honour your orders, step back and put yourself in your buyer's position.
Also Amazon don't like you cancelling orders, especially your first order

What absolutly KILLS me is that all these Members here have taken the Time to Post on this thread to "hopefully" guide this Possibly, "Mis-Guided" Member from going Astray,,and the ONLY Member that has NOT been Heard from is the Threadstarter Himself,,,,I KNOW that he Read these Responses
Where are you Hiding At?
Your silence is Not Painting a Very Good Picture of you,
a little re-assurance that you did or will do the RIGHT thing would be nice to see

RSOT, You are a Regular "Silver Tongue Devil" You should have been an Ambassador.
@amazonebay,,,as for you,,,Let Me tell you something,,The reason for the Way other Members have responded to you is Entirely YOUR Fault,,,You see,, you may Not realize it but the way you write,,,Your Posts "SEEM" to be written by someone who wants to RIP Buyers off,,
and we ARE NOT about that here,,we get angry at Sellers like that because we feel that they are the Reason that Amazon/Ebay are so tough on Sellers,,
Whether that is True or Not Only you Know for sure,,All i can tell you from my seat that You SEEM That way
Only you can correct this,,Make sure that when tou post that your TRUE Intentions are Clear,

Hopefully your review won't take the full 30 days but I've never read of anyone having it completed earlier than a week. Good luck |

Hi guys
I have already shipped the item with free upgrade to expedited with tracking.I was busy so could not respond.I had all kinds of thoughts that may be Amazon can figure out that this is a stealth account and may be get me in a bigger trouble. This is not my only source of income I work full time and make good money.I was not hiding and there is no need for me to hide.I consider myself to be extremely nice person but I can not put with attitudes and inappropriate language or behavior.I thank all that gave me right advise in a right way.
