Default Just a warning for beachbody peddlers...

Amazon is doing a HEAVY crackdown of p90x, insanity, and chalean today. How do I know? they are chopping down and banning every listing below industry standard. I dabble in this alittle here and there and know that when I saw only 18 listing for the used column today that something was up. Hope this helps someone not get hit.
The complete step-by-step guide to get back to selling today!

Amazon usually cracks down in high-risk categories right before the Christmas rush.

This is certainly not news. I don't even sell this kind of thing yet I can remember more threads about P90X than any other.

Let's hope you're right about that I still got a ton of stuff I was able to sell about a month ago and now it's restricted, if that's the case then Jan. should be a good month.

Yeah beach body products have always been a quick ban category and alot of scare tactics employed by management to scare sellers.

Glad I didn't buy any one of those. Do you guys know anythign about the ZUMBA DVD sets? On ebay, that was the reason why I got Vero violations eventually the suspension, but before my account got suspended on amazon, I sold 20 Zumba DVD sets in 2 days therefore reached the 750 limit. Well... I was not aware of the limit at the time.

best bet is to stay away from any fitness product. I read some story about some woman selling some fitness thing on ebay for a couple years, and they sued her and put her ass in ail lol. This is obviously the most extreme case, but its like brainetics or rosetta. A company producing 1 sole product and making ridiculous amounts of money off of it is going to be more likely to go after people than a company selling hundreds of different products. easier to crack down on just 1 product.

Zumba is another high-risk product.

Very high risk category will probably take 20 accounts to finish those off.

ebay pretty much assumes there all ⊗⊗⊗⊗ unless your an established seller, and most people who sell ⊗⊗⊗⊗ put them up as used too. Since its only one you will probably be ok but you might have problems.Try your luck i guess

I listed Zumba as used on ebay and it got taken down within 10 hours and my account got suspended. Try to sell some on craigslist. You might have a chance.

You can still get rid of em on ebay you just got to list em at a low BIN price and keep selling em until you got 3 listing pulls then make a second account in the same info then a 3rd, 4th and so on...

If your going to use jbuntz strategy then sure leave ip the same why waste another if your going to get banned within a couple hours anyways. I use to do with amazon sometimes when i wanted a quick sale.

If you're using same info, same paypal then yeah same ip, and you won't neccaserally get banned you get a 7 day suspension after your 4th policy violation, you still want to take it a little slow and sell some safer stuff first on each account though build that good rep first...

even through this is an old topic,but there are still a lot of new sellers having the issue for this .Do not sell P90X on ebay any more,otherwise your account will get suspend soon and affect your on line business.
