Worth using amazon?

Amazon Rules:

Been there off & on since 2001....!!

Amazon truly & honestly paids my bill 100%+

I can relate with the other poster. Even if Amazon puts you off you always have a check on the way. I have $4300 coming in September & $1700 coming in Oct.

Have 3 accounts running well now. I always & I mean always keep one Legit. Even when My Ebay & other Amazon Accounts fail this one is steady making money. Even though I do not do legit accounts well it still pays me $1500 weekly with 100% FB.

With Amazon you you do not have to start slow or fast. Regardless of how you start you will 98% of the time get hit with their ((30)) Day Hold. Me personally I start big because the quicker I get that hold over the quicker they lay off you & the gates so to speak are open. Last Christmas I cleared $67,000 in one month. What I did was I signed up for a prepaid CC. I chose a Prepaid CC that allowed me to transfer money from card to card so I signed up for 5 cards. The thing is I did not have to worry about Amazon but low & behold the dam CC bank put a hold on my funds until I sent them papers explaining where these Direct Deposits were coming from. So Amazon of course gives you a read-out of your payouts & once I faxed that over everything was fine. But I had a blast that month...I was at the ATM more than I was at home. I Luuuuuuv Amazon to death!!

So go big as soon as you open your account to get through the 30-day hold. Amazon customers to me are the Bentley people of online shoppers. They pay alot & expect alot so give them alot!! Its that simple. You do this by 1.)Shipping ASAP, 2.)Package as Best as you can(as if you are packing a gift for Obama), 3.)"DO NOT" request any FB-these are not the customers to do this with-please believe me, let them give you FB at their own will, & 4.)make absolutely sure that you DESCRIBE ACCURATELY your item so they will know what to expect. Amazon Customers HATE this & this will Kill your Account!

Now as far as pay its limitless. They hold your money for the first two weeks when you start. If you start slow then after this you can disburse payments every 24 hrs. The first pay takes exactly 4 days to get to your account after disbursement. But I disburse everyday I have a sale. So I get money everyday(not including wknds). For instance you disburse Sunday, it gets to your bank on Thursday, disburse Monday, it comes Friday, disburse Tuesday, it gets to your bank Monday & so forth.

But even if you start slow & try to disburse everyday, you'll get dinged with the 30 day hold. But as I said get it over with early & the gates are open so you might as well do it early on & get it over with. Its gonna happen regardless.

One more thing to all who want to try Amazon you have to do it now. Amazon is very picky & choosy about their X-mas sales(may I add for good reason). They become "Hunters" Christmas time & will kill any account that is young & look suspicious!!! Why because in my opinion Amazon is a "CASH MACHINE" big time Christmas & they know this & know it well. So if have not established a relationship with them meaning FB & passed the 30 Day hold they will limit you or put a hold on selling certain items for Christmas. Amazon is not stupid & since they do not have any limits set on how much you can make they know X-mas time the sky's the limit & make it much harder on new accounts. So GET those stealth account up now!!! There is lots of money to be made there & Amazon customers pay ridiculously HUGE this time of the year!!

Hi IDK

Here's how you can tell how quickly your item will sell?? Go to p90x & act as is you are going to sell this. Describe your item, i.e, new. like new & brief description. Then press submit. After you press submit, you should come to the page where you list your price. Look to the right & you will see a box with the new & used price as well as the amazon "sales ranking." The "sales ranking" is your key to see how fast your item will sell. For example P90X "sales ranking" is (1). That means you can pretty much sell 10 of these a day or even more. For a DS system the "sales ranking" is (115) still good but you may sell at least 3 a day & so forth. So the lower the sales rankings is the more money you'll make!!

I had to add this also about Amazon that I simply love & how it is totally different from Ebay. Scenario below:

Ebay:

Sold over $5,000 vero. One customer reported me to Feebay. Got suspended immediately. In addition to suspension, Ebay shut down my listings, no access to account what so ever, alerted Paypal, & the biggest "INSANE" thing of all, Ebay alerted every single customer that I was a Fraud & immediately customers ran to Paypal opening disputes left and right. So now I am negative in my Paypal account $6000+! They even sent emails to people that had their items delivered weeks ago who never thought about opening up a case but now since they have this alert that Ebay sent them opens one up just because!! What a Mess!!! That was a nightmare!!



Amazon:

Same situation. Got suspended for the same items I sold on Ebay. Amazon allows you even though they know you were selling F___s to still ship all items regardless, in fact, they encourage you to. They keep that part of your account open so you an still communicate with your customers. I ship all goods with no complaints & September I get $4300+ waiting for me. No threats from Amazon. Its a clean break! Amazon still makes money, Customers are still happy & might even still shop with Amazon again(why because Amazon did not run & tell their customers that your seller sold you F___s), & most importantly I get a check in the end!

Amazon knows business & they know it well.

Ebay has to be the craziest bunch of A___holes I have ever seen. Amazon rules!!

Glad to see all your success. The thing Im curious about is with the bank. With all those CC accounts, moving money from CC to CC, big wire/direct deposits and the bank putting a hold on all your activity, weren't you worried about the bank submitting a form to the Feds for suspicious banking activity. To any legit banking institution. For any high dollar amounts, this would put you on the radar for money laundering, or illicit proceeds from illegal activity.

I'd be careful about this. Especially if you are not using real information.

With paypal, you can get a check in your f**k name, and still get it cashed, with Amazon, it goes directly to your bank leaving a paper trail right to your door.

after reading what kev59 has said it just makes you want to ditch ebay/paypal all together. Im going to make myself a crap load of amazon accounts!!!!! YEEEEHAAAA lol

That is the LONG way to see the rankings....
Here is the short way:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers
Just pick a category and you will see the top sellers in that category.
You can even walk down into the category tree and see the sub categories.
It is even updated every hour by Amazon (they are so helpful).

Is there a short way, or any way to get the top sellers by category for ebay?

If all you have is smart ass remarks then you will never get any help from anyone here.
The topic of Amazon is deeply researched here.
Take about 5 seconds and do a little "search" for the word Amazon.
You will be surprised how many threads there are with lots of answers.

[turbo]

It wasnt a smart ass remark :S i think you misinterpreted what I was saying...

never the less, i've found what i have been looking for.
