I'm a seller with 100% positive feedback for over 4 years. I have zero AZ claims & no trouble at all.
I've flown under the radar with local competition, we all sell the same thing, books. Well I want to move up and have made moves against other "BIGTIME" sellers & they've pushed back hard.
My concern is them having friends and family filing frivols AZ claims or bombing me with bad feedback. They know my account and are some real backbiting evil pricks.
I'd like to expand and have been, and there is more then enough product for all of us, I just don't trust them & when I start buying more and on their "turf" I don't know what they'll do.
I might be paranoid but do feel they've set the wheels in motion & want to get ahead of it as quickly as possible.
What I would like to do is get several accounts and have less listed on my main account and several hidden. We all have isbn scanners so we know each others accounts and that is how they find people accounts, scan the book and search for it and see when its listed.
That being said I can filter 50% of my future items to another screen name & with that name only list things I'm 100% sure they don't know about..
Last fall I was kicked off eBay with no warning and perfect feedback & was financially devastated. That is when I focused more effort towards amazon.
I NEVER want that to happen again and have had sleepless nights all week ...well for weeks. They might not do anything, but they are a tight group of 5 sellers and have been at the book sales business making a lot of money for over 12+ years each. Since they have a lot of money they chase away competition.
I have over 7,000 books listed and do not want it all gone. I'd like to have several accounts because if the day ever does come I don't want to be devastated again. I have a wife and kids to support and I learned the hard way eBay is not my friend and I'm sure the same applies for Amazon. My big goals are the smallest cog in the wheel to Amazons.
Will this idea work?
I saw the
Amazon Ghost book, but to be honest it scares me, I'm not a techy & it looks very complicated. So many steps look like so many things can go wrong.
If I'm banned I don't even want to flinch and want to be out there the next day buying away.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts or ideas.
