Account just passed verification, how slowly should I start selling? (FBA only)

[tk17]

Wife's previous account made with her maiden name was suspended and now we created a new account using her new last name. All documents used were real and we just passed the utility bill and business license request. No listings have been added to the account yet.

We will have inventory shipped to the UPS mailbox address used to create the account so we will have real invoices along with selling via FBA only.

Couple of questions:

- How slowly do we need to start off under these circumstances? For reference, her previous account had $40k sales the month prior to getting suspended.

- Any tips on making sure the accounts don't link? We bought a new laptop, new hotspot and data plan (also using IPBurger for a Fresh IP). Main concerns are first name and DOB are the same and we'll be selling the same stuff as before. Should we diversify the ASIN's we add even if don't plan on selling those items?

Are the address' the same?

I would highly recommend not listing the same products on the new account, evidently with 40K sales per month on the previous account, you were relatively serious about FBA, so I would prevent any sort of links like this.

seems like you are set up correctly already. Selling the same stuff is not the issue.
But maybe try not selling them all at once.

there's no set number to start, just use your own judgement and think of yourself as a newer UNestablished seller and how you'd behave as one.

Yeah addresses are different.

Not selling the same stuff isn't really an option as we still have over $50k worth of inventory of those items. That was/is for a real business. We got suspended because we forged an invoice while trying to get an ASIN ungated. We previously got stuck with inventory we bought but then couldn't get ungated so when we came across another gated ASIN, we tried to get it ungated first before buying inventory. Obviously a huge mistake that cost us that account.

If you're legit with legit invoices, you don't really have to be too worried about selling too fast.

Probably wise to take it slow and build some account history, but if you're flagged for invoices, then you should have no problem providing them to get reinstated

Did Amazon call supplier to verify or something else?

No, it's got nothing to do about selling the same products , that's not what will get him linked in the first place and it won't in the future.

If Amazon doesn't work out with these gated items, there's always eBay.
