1st time sales on Amazon
 

Hi, here we go again with another n00b question I know...


Brief history,

I've had an amazon account for nearly 3 years, buying random things here, couple high dollar items sporadically.. Nothing over $100, and purchases have been randomly timed ( 2 or 3 a year)..

I've used my real details,added bank account. And begin listing my first item 9 days ago.. High priced electronics, Apple iPhone to be more specific.. YES IT'S REAL!

I listed in inventory details stating I had 3 available.. 1 sold, 9 days ago. I shipped the first item via FedEx overnight (thinking it would help, although I think I wasted my money, delivered 8 days ago with no Feedback)... Multiple messages to the first buyer, including feedback reminder.. Nothing yet.. And obviously, no signs of any dispute or issues with the item..( Real as described)

And just yesterday another sold, EXCELLENT communication with buyer, buyer had many questions, and all answered and received with gratitude and honest respect.. I shipped today.. Guy says he promises to leave feedback if it is what I say it is.. Again should be no problem..

Now the two transactions have been made within 8 days of each other, totaling exactly $700.00....

My question to whomever can answer is, what should I be on the look out for? Any mistakes any one can detect that I may have made? Would Amazon be concerned with a new seller selling high end electronics if kept under the $1000.00 mark, with no negative responses?

Thank you in advance to any and all that are willing to help, it is much appreciated..

You need to get Amazon Ghost ......Amazon is way different then the stealth guide but anything apple is high risk on a new account all I can say is good luck and keep us posted!

I realize the same principles within Stealth apply in similarity to Amazon.... I do not plan nor to intend to sell on Amazon, the structure is odd and I've heard nothing but negative things.. Was just looking for a safe environment to slowly sell off my stock..

Again, thanks OGE, I know, I keep repeating various questions in some way shape or form, coming back to the iPhones.. Ebay, not only canned my selling privileges,but I just found out today, even though I had already spoke with them last week, I will not be allowed to use the $234 in E-bucks, I accumulated.. OUCH...

I would recommend (although I have not much experience with electronics) that since you have sold 2 within 8 days totalling 700, you might consider waiting a month before new sales. Nothing is predicatable with Am az on so...all the best.

I do give you props for building an account with buying history $ - good move.

The older the account the safer you are. But you still have to be very careful.
I agree with rsot-let it cool off now.
In the meantime if you want to move stock,try craigslist or even bonanza.
