limit question

[Freshman]

i got 7days rolling reserve (review) after selling more than 750,
i know i may get suspended if i continue sell a lot, 3k 5k 10k when?

Is this a brand new ghost account? If so, then I would now focus on getting some feedback before selling more otherwise you will get suspended for not having enough of it to support your sales... Or worse, Amazon may completely block your whole account, meaning you will no longer be able to login and the big risk of never receiving your money.

You can get suspended at ANY time if AZ questions your activities. Get the feedback is a good suggestion. Make sure no claims against you. Difficult to give you a 100% figure since AZ likes to fug around these days

You will get suspended when amazon decides.

That could on the next sale...


Your mission is to use the account in such a way that amazon has a reduced chance to suspend you.

As suggested, get feedback AND be prepared for amazon to ill treat you.

Coming to a monitor near you soon, a dead account

Shaky ground here. Tread carefully.

I have found that if you sell FBA, you skip those limit reviews. As long as you are selling legit, non high risk stuff.

My new account has 70 items sold, about $1700 gross in sales and 3 100% feedback and I have not been hit with a review and am almost to my second payout.

We shall see, but so far, with FBA no issues with review. I know a lot of people on here don't like FBA cause you have to send in your stuff. But I have had great experience with it.

I have always suspected this is the case just because of how often AMZ was trying to convince me to join FBA. Thanks for the confirmation.

I can also confirm that I am now passed the review threshold with FBA. You may have noticed a huge campaign by Amazon for FBA. Honestly the numbers add up (unlike mit Romney's)... do the math. For me FBA kinda kicks ass. Unless you get kicked in the ass by Amazon which can still happen. But so far so good.

Why would amazon put a review on themselves? They have your stuff, as long as what your selling is not foo foo you should be good with FBA

They do still do a review on you but it's not as often and just random like if you are not FBA.

And his numbers do add up

The only two reasons I wouldn't want to do FBA are:

1. They probably don't ship as quickly as I do, nor do they pack as well.
2. Your customer might get another seller's merchandise, since they don't keep each FBA seller's items separate in the warehouse.

FBA sounds stupid for me
never tried FBA
can you start list FBA immediately or do you have to wait till merchandise reaches amazon warehouse?

I think it's actually totally opposite of what you're saying. Amazon packaging, gift wrapping and shipping is insane. And you have to opt in you want your stuff to be mixed (commingled inventory).. it's not default.

Yeap. All my stuff is mine, I label it myself. Shipping is super fast, and if the buyer leaves feedback about packaging or shipping, Amzn removes the rating for you.

Only downside is more fees when you sell FBA.

[Post Modern Sleaze]

there is a huge risk involved with FBA - If you ship it to AZ, then your account is suspended or disabled, you lose the stock because it suddenly becomes a huge financial burden to ship it back (if they even give you that option).

Which one is the lesser of the two evils... FBA or Solo?

[rsot]

Remember, if FBA deems your merchandise as problematic, they will destroy it - thats the risk of dealing with anything than pure.

Even then there are a few stories around of claims of f*ke when in fact it was legit
