When to list on Amazon? before or after 14 days?
 

Ok. I bought the Amazon Ghost book but now I just have a question that wasnt answered or at least an answer I couldnt find.

Should I list before or after the 14 day period? On my last account, I listed my item 3 days after I registered and waited till the month was over to withdraw the money. Then I listed the item every other day which everything went well til i got a to z claim and got suspended indefintely.

Now I want to know if it's a good idea to list before or after the 14 days because I want to drop ship the item and if I get banned, I wont see the money for awhile.

This is what I do:
create the account, list 1 cheap item, buy this item with stealth buyer accounts, give feedback for myself, after 14 days list my regular inventory, sell less than $750 gross, stop selling.

Next month is a different story, but I never got suspended with this formula in the first 30 days.

@alnev, what do you use for form of payments to purchase stuff on AZ?

you can sell as soon as you open the account. i never got suspended by how fast i start selling right away.

I always waited 14 days that way I can withdraw the money, once money is in hand I'd list more and repeat, never had more then $100 stuck in Amazon.

Just regular debit cards, because I don't use those when I create new accounts, I always use Vanilla.
