Personally I have no experience with FBA, just common sense kinda tells me that what you are trying to do might end disastrous: you risk your account AND you inventory. If you don't want to send it yourself, maybe find a service that can do it for you. After you found something like that, create a few accounts and start selling. | The shipping myself part is logistically stressful, im in a small apartment and my inventory has the cubic volume of a minivan. Shipping myself costs considerably more money than FBA and would require extensive inventory managment on my part to track all inventory and additional accounting procedures. In addition, it limits my ability to pursue other activities in my life as I then must be home 365 days / year to ship items which does not work for me.
Im sure there are services to ship for me in Canada, but this is not something i'd like to do. I very much enjoy FBA and it makes life much easier... despite the massive risk.
I currently have 2 stealth accounts with VPN and I am only selling on the one, but am contemplating splitting my inventory among both accounts as you reccomend. I could do FBA for both these accounts.
I do not create new asins for the suspended inventory. They are all books / textbooks on Amazon that anyone can sell on. There are roughly ~1500 unique asins in my suspended account.
